CNN article...

Muslims in America

quote:

U.S. Muslims have the second-highest level of education among major religious groups in the country; Jews have the highest. And a greater proportion of them have college degrees than the general U.S. population.


quote:

While in many parts of the Muslim world, women are confined to second-class status, that's not the case among American Muslims. Virtually all of them, 90%, agree that women should be able to work outside the home. American Muslim women hold more college or postgraduate degrees than Muslim men. And they are more likely to work in professional fields than women from most other U.S. religious groups.


Stats and information come from different source:

Because the smart ones specifically come here to go to school, retarded statement in general and especially one presented as a statistic. Makes the entire article just dumb.

If you're trying to convince people on a topic, this is not the way to start the thread...

I also don't understand this reasoning.

Education does not equal being treated humanely on a personal level.

She has a college degree? That's awesome! She must take great advantage of it living in her husband's basement.

So, according to CNN, education = assimilation. I'm going to go with no.

Buy this article logic, Hispanics should be banned from the US because they are not assimilating. Their rates of college education are lower than whites, Muslims, or Jews.

Muslims are an extremely small minority right now. The ones that come here are generally wealthy and have marketable skills, or they come here as college students and then have marketable skills. The many without any education or skills can't come here yet unless they are refugees. But the refugees generally don't have skills that would be effective in the US and they speak no English, so they would be highly likely to be part of the welfare state

I dont need CNN to confirm that. I see it everyday. But whats your point here? That
all Muslims arent bad? Well no shite.

That doesnt change the associated demographics and profile of a militant islamist? Look, normal muslims have a shitty deal in the US right now. But the fault for that isnt on every suspicious or concerned american. I think you incorrectly assign blame to those reacting, instead of those causing said reaction.

There's no fricking way that Muslims have a higher education level than Buddhists or Atheists or Hindus. Especially if you are including the trash that's been coming the past 10 years under Bush the Retard and the Kenyan.

The neighborhood next to mine in Brooklyn (Bay Ridge) has the highest concentration of Muslims in all of NYC, and the violent crime rate in that zip code in 2014 was the lowest of all zip codes in NYC.

But what do I know? I only have 10 years of life experience living in a city full of the bastards.

As we speak many highly educated Muslims in Iran are working on the bomb so that they can assimilate my atoms with the atmosphere! There is a big difference between English literature 101 and advanced improvised explosive devices 304. All levels of education are accepted into the Jihad. CNN has set up a fake news story, don't worry about Muslim extremists they are converting from the religion of peace to science!

CNN and pro Muslim propaganda....this is not unexpected.

Yes, you can't paint the entire group of Muslims, but a disproportionate percentage wants to do our country harm. You cannot discount that fact and it supports a level of skepticism on the part of Americans (or at least the non nieve ones).
