| #7 An interesting article. Some more statistics. Total world population ~6.8 billion. 1.57 billion Muslims, or 23% ~2.25 billion Christians, or 33% Since this is based on interviews, with apparently no cross-check with, for example, national population statistics, it is quite possible that the Muslim numbers are more boastful than real. Estimates of Muslim world population range from 1 billion to 1.8 billion according to the article and my memory. |

| #6 Why? Because community organizers really are effective at getting goodies for their community, although not at improving the conditions that cause the problems in the first place. There are gangs and such in poor white neighborhoods, but they tend to have social workers instead of organizers, so they don't realize they should line up for *whatever*. |

| #5 I think the amnesty lines should have equal opportunity quotas imposed on them. |

| #4 OK, I just had a flashback to 1960 when the word was "The Blacks were going to out breed us so there were no more white folks". How did that turn out, Ghettos, Race riots, street gangs (Black) and dope a plenty. Or to quote My father "Quantity is not Quality" and indeed it seems he was right. When the inner cities have touble, It's NOT "Whites". When the city declares "Amnesty" for not paying traffic tickets, the camera shows Blacks, no white faces in line. WHY? |

| #3 This guy who died last month, had a lot to do with the fact that there are more muslims in the world today than the combined number of all muslims who lived from the time of Mohamed onwards. Just look at the demographics of Pakistan, 34 million in the 1950's to 181 million now. |

| #2 Their propensity for violence aside, can we afford to provide (they sure as hell are not self sufficient) for so many Muslims? |
