Here is an instructive piece from The Nation: “What’s Life Like in America’s First City With a Muslim-Majority City Council?” (www.thenation.com/article/whats-life-li ... y-council/)In a 2007 survey titled Muslim Americans: Middle Class and Mostly Mainstream, the Pew Research Center found Muslim Americans to be "largely integrated, happy with their lives, and moderate with respect to many of the issues that have divided Muslims and Westerners around the world."
In short, it has much in common with other immigrant communities - people are interested in peace and prosperity, and both can be found. Contrary to worries of the imposition of Sharia Law many fled to the United States to escape from it.
As is also the case with Judaism there is a long tradition of scriptural interpretation. In both cases we find changes in belief and practices that reflect changes in values and understanding. In both cases there are laws and practices that even the most devout do not obey or approve.
Christianity may be thought of as the religion of love, but there is a long history of Holy Wars between Catholics and Protestants for the glory of God, King, and Country. There is a hatred that is manifest in the New Testament that, as Nietzsche suggests, turns inward because the early Christians were powerless to exercise outward power. It is a hatred of the Jew and of the self. Christianity’s persecution of the Jews rivals whatever can be found in Islam or elsewhere for depravity and ruthlessness. Self hatred comes largely from Paul’s teachings about the sinful nature of the body. The psychological warfare waged by Paul is so insidious that many are not aware of it. If Christianity were not the prevailing religion of the West there would be may who would be all too ready to tell us why Christian immigration must be banned.
If we look at this from an historical perspective it becomes clear that the problem of immigration is not a “Muslim problem”. The same thing has occurred whenever there has been a large influx of foreigners, Irish, Italian, Jews, and others. Even Trump’s beloved blonde haired blue eyed Norwegians and other noble races would become a problem if millions attempted to immigrate.
