![This is Good
I am increasingly of the mind that Islam and the United States are incompatible. Islam, like Communism as an ideology, is more than religion.
It is a socio-economic system and we're starting to see enclaves of Islam in the United States that are deeply hostile to Western values and not just refuse to assimilate, but demand special treatment and exemptions.
So this is good.
