Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sa&#039;ad" data-source="post: 102688" data-attributes="member: 8439">I disagree with prejudice being a morale as I have often been able to ferret out prejudice in educated individuals by making a statement about the Founding Fathers' quotes on liberty, security, and political isolation.  It seems that the prejudice is not only against Muslims, but Sikhs, Mexicans, Canadians, and immigrants in general.  What they state as their reason is that many illegal immigrants fail to pay taxes, lower the wage scale, bring down property values by over-occupancy, drive without licenses or insurance, and disrespect our values by the illegal immigrants assumption that tolerance is mistaken for weakness.  There is a joke about what do you call a person who speaks two languages, three languages, four languages, and finally one language.  The answer to the last question is an American.  America has alway been a land of assimilation.  The Italians, Chinese, Germans, Polish, etc. all came here initially as legal immigrants, worked hard (as do the illegal immigrants), took English Classes, spoke their native language in their homes and neighborhoods, and spoke English when conducting business or legal maters.  I feel as much love for people of all religions and no religion as I do for those who share my beliefs; fortunately, most of the Sikhs in this rural area are doctors and are known for their high morality and kindness.As to the last paragraph of the above post, I too do not understand the lack of pride and antipathy toward turbans.</blockquote>
