Don't you think it's a bit awkward to speak of "arabizing" Europe, when from
a rough total of 450 million European Citizens (1), only some 15 million are
of Arab origin? And knowing that, in the overall context, also the numbers
of Hindus or Chinese are increasing significantly? Wasn't that very same
multiculturalism/tolerance that made America so great?

Again, I don't want to speak about *Arabs*, unless we are talking about those
Arabs who are radicalized Muslims.  You will not find much tolerance in the US
for such ilk.  America became great because of *mutual* respect of different
cultures-- that is a concept that is non-existent to the radical Muslim.

...and non-existent to the radical Christians, which there seem to be more and more of
every day.  Go ahead, try to sweep your own people under the rug, but you can't deny
there are quite a number of absolute NUTCASES that swing some decent power in this
country, that swing that power AS Christians.
