It becomes quite clear from the words of Mr. Johnson that America (and one may add Canada also) while it succeeded in assimilating countless waves of immigrants from the old world, the vast majority came from Europe . Before the Immigration Law was drastically changed during the Johnson Administration, very few Muslims came to the USA . Now however, their number is growing rapidly, and in some areas like Dearborn , Michigan , they have made their presence very much felt.

Furthermore, it should be remembered that prior to the 1950s, the majority of Levantine people that have settled in the United States and Canada literally “melted” within the local population. The reason was very simple: they were Eastern Christians, and had no difficulty at all in integrating into American culture. In fact, if you make a study of their children’s marriages, you will soon discover that many among them did not chose mates from their own ethnic group. The intermarriages that took place among second or third generation Levantine immigrants accelerated the rate of integration. The only remaining distinguishing link to their origin can be found in the names they carry, and the cuisine they cherish and share with their fellow-Americans.

So while we watch with horror night after night on our television screens the scenes of destruction in France , we may not be very smug about our situation being so different from Europe . That we are not safe from Islamic terrorism has been imprinted on our minds, and the very mention of 9/11 reminds us of the destruction and killing that were inflicted on us by the nineteen infamous Islamists. That should teach us not only to carry the war against Jihadism overseas, but to be wary of admitting more Muslims to this country.

I end by making this modest proposal: our immigration and naturalization laws should reflect the fact that prospective immigrants from Muslim lands should be admitted only if they leave behind the political component of their Islam. And when Muslim immigrants eventually apply for citizenship, part of their examination by an INS attorney should include a serious investigation of their political baggage. Generally, a foreign citizen upon completing all the requirement for naturalization, appears before a federal judge and takes an oath of allegiance to the Constitution of the USA . Equally, such a person renounces his or her allegiance to his former country of citizenship. It is not manifesting religious discrimination if Muslims are asked to renounce as well their inherited political baggage before they are granted the privilege of U.S. citizenship. Unless we embark on such measures, we can expect serious troubles in the future within America . These would accelerate if and when Europe is absorbed within Daru’l Islam. When we ignore the lessons of history, we invite certain disaster. The French are going through this horrific trauma right now!
