And part of her thinks, why should I write something again, when so many other people can do it for me, and I can just link?

Clash of the Geeks now available to benefit the Lupus Alliance of America.

Jim Hines write a letter to Elizabeth Moon regarding her post on citizenship. I want you to go read Jim's post. Mostly because these dangerous Muslims are students in my classrooms, and I'd prefer we talk about them civilly. Also, the melting pot is discarded by most sociologists these days.

Finally, Nate Bransford, keeping it real and in perspective. Yes, Virginia, I am for the most part a happy writer. Because angst just isn't sexy.

Now I have to do some...math. Not very often we do math in English land, but there you go. It does happen sometimes.

The only assimilation I expect from Muslims is that which I'd expect from any group moving into this country: willingness to abide by this country's secular laws, and toleration of those who choose to practice other religious beliefs (even if they find those practices personally offensive). Expecting anything more than that is wrong.

The Muslims of the 21st century are the Catholics of the mid-19th/early 20th century. We look back on the Know-Nothings now and laugh. Future generations are going to laugh just as hard over this (so-called) "mosque at Ground zero' controversy. You'd think we'd learn from history!
