That is the bomb, Bozi.
Now what would seal the deal is if SKY offered a red button that would send electrical shocks to Tommy Smyth's eyelids and genitals on the air.
Your logic presupposes that immigrants don't have any competitive nature amongst themselves. It presumes that immigrants, as defined by their collective experience, are incapable of racial, ethnic, or religious intolerances -- whether from their native lands or in their adopted ones.
That, sir, is something I really don't understand. Just because you put some greasy farmer with a funny accent on a boat and send him to a foreign country doesn't prevent him or cure him from his racism.
Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, while there's a very large black population, you had a lot of the locals wearing red "South Side Italian" or green "South Side Irish" jackets like they were ready for a dancing rumble in West Side Story. Fact.
There's examples of this kind of "friends through collective experience" behavior when it came to a lot of Jewish support for civil rights in this country in the 1960s. But today a lot of that seems long gone. That chumminess based on "collective oppression" is definitely a thing of the past.
The norm is more to what I stated above. People sharing a collective experience does not de facto remove their prejudices. At least that's what's been proven in practice as a general rule.
That said, I think the Muslims in this country are incredibly pivotal to what defines this country -- at least at this very moment. One of America's greatest strengths is that it's more about an idea than about what family you were born in. That's certainly a flawed argument, but it's about as true here as it is anywhere in the world. What makes American Muslims pivotal is that the fate of the country, as a free republic as I see it, rests on the notion of Muslims making their home here based on this "idea" and internal support for this idea. Or does the idea unravel and fall apart, because America and its relationships with more immigrants and minorities falls apart by instead defining itself on bloodlines, etc.
The best counter to radical Islam against the West is in proving that it isn't a question about Islam at all, really.
