Muslims "act like the United States owes them"

More on this story. "A Somali influx unsettles Latino meatpackers," by Kirk Semple for the New York Times, October 16:

GRAND ISLAND, Nebraska: Like many workers at the meatpacking plant here, Raul Garcia, a Mexican-American, has watched with some discomfort as hundreds of Somali immigrants have moved to town in the past couple of years, many of them to fill jobs once held by Latino workers taken away in immigration raids.

Garcia has been particularly troubled by the Somalis' demand that they be allowed special breaks for prayers that are obligatory for devout Muslims. The breaks, he said, would inconvenience everyone else.

Just as "devout" Muslims should pray, so too should they not willingly go and immerse themselves among infidels, voluntarily -- which is what every single Muslim who immigrates to the West is doing. The same Koran that commands them to pray also commands them to combat and fight the infidel (9:5, 9:29) -- or, at the very least, stay away from him: “O you who believe! Take neither Jews nor Christians as friends…whoever among you turns to them is one of them” (5:51).
So why are these "demanding" Somalis "turning to them [non-Muslims]?


"The Latino is very humble," said Garcia, 73, who has worked at the plant, owned by JBS U.S.A. Inc., since 1994. "But they are arrogant," he said of the Somali workers. "They act like the United States owes them."

Garcia was among more than 1,000 Latino and other workers who protested a decision last month by the plant's management to cut their work day — and their pay — by 15 minutes to give scores of Somali workers time for evening prayers.

After several days of strikes and disruptions, the plant's management abandoned the plan.
