Let me say it again, as clearly and concisely as I possibly can:

(Update: This post has been expanded to include Rick Darby's comments and my replies to Rick's comments, as well as to include a link to the VFR article inspired by Mr. Darby's opening sentence in his original comment to this entry.)

These People and their rituals do not belong in America, period!

Back a few months ago LA and I had a private email conversation concerning the ritualistic "foot washing" that Muslims engage in, not only in their countries of origin, but wherever in the world they are allowed to migrate and take up residence. The best part of that conversation was posted on this blog where LA gave us a word picture of the great lengths these people go to honor their foot washing tradition right here in America. And we allow this to go on in our country! Not only do we allow it, in point of fact, but we go to great lengths ourselves to accomodate these people and their ability to perform their weird rituals on our soil, and all in the name of diversity.

Well, here they are again, on our soil, performing another one of their "honorable" rituals, flagellating themselves, as they do at certain times during certain of their ceremonies, during the time of one of their holy festivals, Ashura.

In the words of LA from that Webster's entry of a few months ago, what American can honestly say that this kind of thing belongs in this country? And if you think this is just in New York City and it isn't coming to a city or town near you, then I have but one thing to say to you: Get back to me in about ten to fifteen years. We've seen it with homosexuality which I've also written about numerous times at this blog, and we'll see these Muslim rituals spread across the country like wildfire unless we do something radical about it, i.e., stop all Muslim immigration to this country and begin a policy of out-migration of Muslims, as LA has said over and over again.

Anyone care to wager with me on this? You're certainly welcome to. But when in fifteen years this stuff has spread across the country, I don't want to have to say "I told you so." I'm telling you now. If you can't see it, you need to get your eyes checked.

Once a Muslim gets a foot in the door, the next thing you know it's in the wash basin.

Under our demented "invade the world, invite the world" policy, we will soon have to learn to "respect" every bizarre, loathsome, and insanitary practice of every Stone Age culture on earth.

Speaking of being as clear and concise as possible, I really like the way you put that:

"our demented "invade the world, invite the world" policy"

Excellent!

Rick replies:

Terry,

Thanks, but I can't take credit for the line. I believe it was Steve Sailer who came up with it.

TM replies:

Then kudos to Mr. Sailer. Thanks for clearing that up.

Also, all, see the way Mr. Auster used Mr. Darby's opening statement as an intro into a follow-up VFR entry on the subject, Inevitable consequences of Muslim immigration.

Muslim chairwoman offended by Okla. State Lawmaker

Marjenah Seirafi-Pour, a Muslim and the chairman of Gov. Brad Henry's "Ethnic American Advisory Council" is denouncing State Representative Rex Duncan's assessment of Islam that it is an extreme ideology.

Apparently Miss Seirafi-Pour takes exception to Representative Duncan's statement that Islam is an ideology which encourages the murder of innocent women and children. She says it is not an ideology, but a religion. Ok, so it's a religion. And what is a religion? See here.

Representative Duncan was joined by sixteen other Oklahoma lawmakers in rejecting a gift from the council of a copy of the Quran.

I only have a couple of questions, to whomever they may concern:

1. Where's the evidence showing that Islam is a "very peaceful, very inclusive religion," as Seirafi-Pour insists?

2. What's a Muslim doing chairing this council, Governor Henry???

In a related story in the McAlester News Capital, Wednesday edition, it is reported that members of the council are going to offer to meet with the representatives who refused to take the gifts. The idea being, of course, to re-educate these representatives on the "peaceful," "inclusive" nature of the religion of Mohammed. In other words, to acculturate them to Islam.

I'll be contacting Representative Duncan's office this morning, recommending that he read and pass around to his compatriots some of the articles I've collected on the subject here at Webster's. (I have now done this.)

More later.

Assimilation or Acculturation?

One thing that I think we need to do is to make people aware that there is a huge difference between the two. In fact, these are opposite, and opposing concepts.

John Savage has put up an excellent post this morning which is the primary inspiration for this post...

In reading John's post, two things were brought to mind, as I said in my comments to the entry:

1. Linda Chavez's statements in the recent FrontPage symposium on immigration and assimilation. And,

2. One of Lawrence Auster's recent entries over at VFR where in his concluding sentence to the initial entry, Auster reveals what a friend of his said to him while discussing the matter of the Muslim immigrants in our country. From memory, Auster's friend said that the Muslims were/are acculturating Americans to their customs in preparation for their ultimate takeover of America.

And here is where the rubber meets the road with regard to the difference between assimilation and acculturation. Assimilation means that the immigrants reject the culture of their homeland and adopt the culture of their new home. Acculturation means the very opposite; the host country and culture adapts itself to the cultural characteristics of the migrants. This is what multiculturalism does. It can't not destroy Western and American culture.

What Chavez and her ilk are talking about when they say that immigrants assimilate naturally, is not assimilation at all. It is, to the contrary, acculturation of Western and American culture to alien cultures. What Chavez fails to recognize (for whatever reason) is that American culture has already been turned on its head due to multiculturalism's demand that we acculturate, rather than that the aliens assimilate.

End of initial post.
