Learn from others’ mistakes

To the Editor,

     The tragedy of Afghanistan is unfolding rapidly. No, we shouldn’t leave the U.S. supporters to die there.

     On the other hand, bringing thousands of Arabs to our country deserves a second thought. They aren’t being vetted, or at best, poorly vetted.

     Arab culture is way different from Western culture. Arabs don’t assimilate. They congregate. We have several women who lean toward terrorism, who have been elected from their enclaves (Minnesota) on their way to the House of Representatives. They were elected by Arab groups, concentrated in their election district.

     So, what should we do? A woman from an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) who works in Afghanistan spoke on television. It was her opinion that they should be settled in the UAE or Pakistan or another Arab country. She says they will be happier there in their own culture.

     Remember for 2,000 years, they have believed killing Western Infidels was a duty of their religion.

     Doesn’t that require some reflection in and of itself? Great Britain, France and Germany are acknowledging their mistake of allowing Arabs to migrate to their countries. They aren’t allowing anymore. Our NATO allies can’t be all wrong. Ship them to another Arab country. They will be saved and so will we.
