The Worldwide Crisis of Islam > The Truth About Islam
More US Hispanics drawn to Islam
El Cabong!:
What many people don't understand is that lump us all in with "hispanics" is not a very educated term. I'm a Cuban of pure Spanish descent. There are Mexicans, Colombians, Puerto Ricans etc... We Cubans don't identify with any of those other nationalities and the only similarities are a common language and rice and beans. Most of us Cubans came here in the 60's and are Christians by faith and no muslim religion can attract us to them. They can attract the newly arrived hispanics as most of them are not as educated, are mostly poor and impressionable. 200,000 hispanic muslims are hardly a cause for concern but I believe this is a passing phase and the number will fall off as soon as they see what islam really is. If you read aboutthe Columbian woman who said she never felt she fit in in her country, you can understand the kind of people that fall for that shiit.
And masterwolf, I wouldn't talk about bottom of the barrel if I were you, Itlaians kept tthe FBI busy and in business all of the 20th century.

I can see your point not wanting to be lumped in with the hispanic name plate however the fact that you are of pure Spanish descent is not the case for all Cubans. I have meet many Cubans over the years and some are as you say Spanish. Then again I have meet other Cubans who can almost be considered black. Most folks I meet that come from Spain look almost French or Italian even a touch of German. Cuba's population like many other of the island countries in the Caribbean is made up of many different nationalities what else would account for the vast difference in the way Cubans look. The original Cubans who came from Cuba were for the most part hard working folks who came to America and have embraced the American way. They have Conservative values and are in my opinion an asset to America. The same however can not be said for the later arrivals that Castro let leave Cuba in the 80s. I knew someone who lived in Miami then and he said that he would have to drive home with his gun out on the seat of his car because of the marauding gangs of Cubans committing crimes at that time. Further your comment to masterwolf left me scratching my head. True the Italians, Jews, and Irish all kept the FBI busy however they keep their business to people who seeked them out such as prostution drugs and gambling. You sort of had to go looking for trouble to find it. They plied their trade on people who were looking for it. Today we have various Hispanic drug cartells and gangs that are so vicious in their tactics that guilty and innocent bystanders alike are murdered with no regard. Drugs are sold to the youngest of children. If you cross any of this new breed of Mafia they kill not only the source of trouble they kill the entire family children and all something the Italians would never do. This is not to say that Italian organized crime is better or worse than Hispanic however its not right to paint all Italians with that brush. I have to be blunt the immigrants who came here in the early part of the last century built this country into what it is today. They had none of the crutches the hispanics have had such as bilingual education and affirmative action programs. Everything you touch today has to be labled with that gibberish on it so hispanics will be able to see what they buy. With all this help the Hispanic contribution to America has been minimal to say the least. Finally 200,000 Muslim hispanics are a great concern to me because being that most of them are illegal aliens they would be susceptible to being coerced into doing terrorism for large sums of money something a person who came here legally might not do.

All I can say is go down to Miami and see what all the GOOD cubans did to it.
Lets face the facts Cuba is made up of mutts, it was an island where any ship from any country docked and humped the women so don't say the people are all from Spain.

Yes, go see what the Cubans did: re-built Miami when it was dying, fed the economy, least of hispanics on welfare, hard workers, Conservative Christian values,made Miami the banking capital and gateway of South America, built the infrastructure that is now South Florida, etc... Too bad you look at the criminals of my people to make a statement about them, I'm sure if you were man enough to say where your people came from I can find your dregs and worst and make a stupid comment like you.

I understand what you're saying, but I had to say something back to people who throw stones and live in glass houses. I look at all the Hispanic people coming into America today and they aren't at all Hispanic. The majority of them coming from Central America are mostly of Indian descent and have very little if any Spanish in them. Therein lies the difference in the way they behave in this country and the way they were brought up in theirs. Being Cuban is a nationality not a race and the fact that you understand that pleases me. The Cubans you see coming here today didn't grow up in the same Cuba as I did. They grew up in a dirt poor communist dictatorship with no religion, no food, no freedoms, and no decency. If a black man in this country comits a crime, and his last name is McAllister or Buchanan, he is labeled as an Africa-American. If another black man commits a crime and his last name is Garcia or Rodriguez, he is labeled a Hispanic. Why is that? They are both black and African descendants of slaves brough over here by whites. It's all part of the idea to lump us all in and put us all in the same category which is a disservice and an insult to any race.
As far as me saying what I had to say about Italians, you brought in other nationalities that I also suffered under. It is not right for anyone to paint all Hispanics with the same brush either. How come it's ok for others to do it and not me? I lived in the Italian neighborhoods here in Philly, I saw extortion, murder, drug dealing prostitution etc... I lived in the Irish neighborhoods and saw worst. So really there are good and bad I saw in all the peoples here in America but I don't go around expounding their people's worst attributes. Both my sister married Irish guys. One is devout Crhistian just like my sister, the other Irish guy she married after divorcing her first husband who was Italian who went to jail for racketeering.. This Irish guy turned out to molest my nieces and went to jail for it. So you see, I can bring out any derogatory comment on anyone who wants to lump me in with criminals because I have seen the worst of all peoples here the U.S. and yet I don't lump them all in one criminal group. However I'm tired of standing by and letting people insult me and my heritage and not say anything about it.
