Steve Sailer: Are Latinos converting to Islam in any numbers?

This would not surprise me. Many latinos are trying to convert to Judaism.

Steve Sailer writes: In general, I didn’t expect this San Bernardino atrocity to turn out to be another Muslim massacre because Southern California doesn’t have particularly large, orthodox Islamic neighborhoods. SoCal has no shortage of Men with Gold Chains, but they usually turn out to belong to some kind of Middle Eastern mercantile minority group who are here for the hustle; not banlieue-style lumpenproles. Women who move to SoCal, especially, are usually not really into wearing tents.

But if random Muslim restaurant inspectors are somehow converting their Mexican security guard buddies to Islam, well, that could be a problem because there are vast numbers of Mexicans here.

Fortunately, most of them are more apathetic than aggrieved. But the Obama Administration and the national media are constantly trying to prod them into racist hostility against whites to boost their electoral turnout to win elections for Democrats. Add in Islam’s time-tested ability to put a chip on the shoulder, and that could be trouble.

COMMENTS:

* Latino’s sensual, pleasure loving culture goes headfront against Islamic puritanism, so I suppose you can relax about that possibility.

* This notion that “Latino’s” [sic] culture is more “sensual, pleasure loving” suggests this is a guy who’s never been to the barrio. Latino America is dominated by Mestizos from Mexico. He’s thinking of Caribbean and Brazilian culture. But even if it is so, such a culture can easily feed a growing sub-population of those who come to reject its decadence, especially in a place like America, where it can get out of hand. Witness black American fascination with Islam. If blacks had their shit together, the Nation of Islam might be a very real threat.
Mostly my own bigoted impression is that Mexicans aren’t going to cotton to the discipline and rigor of Islamic observance. Mexicans have a certain fatalism which produces, I think, a not unwelcome apathy.

* The Persians also once had a “sensual, pleasure loving culture”. Arguably they still do even today, but that hasn’t prevented a minority from imposing a rather unpleasant version of Islam on most of the Iranian population.

* The FBI is now saying that they were both radicalized before they met. If that’s true, the “fiance visa” was utilized specifically to bring in another terrorist. A sort of “two terrorists for the price of one” program.

* Re Hispanics converting to Islam, there was the case of Jose Padilla: From Taco Bell to Al Qaeda

Hispanics as potential converts for Islam calls to mind a line from Theodore Dalrymple’s essay in Taki’s: “Islam rushes in where Marxism can no longer tread.”

* I’ve always suspected that sexual frustration fuels a lot of the anger you see among Muslim males (and females). If Muslims got laid more, they’d be happier people and less likely to be radicalized.

One reason you seldomly hear about Persians getting radicalized is because they’re too busy with sensual pleasures. If Pakis and other Muslims were able to join in on the fun, there’d be fewer Tashfeens and Syeds.

In his speech two days ago, Trump speculated that Syed Farukh committed the shooting because he couldn’t get women. He even joked that maybe Tashfeen was the first woman that Syed ever had. I really think Trump was on to something.

By the way, Syed’s brother was married to a Russian immigrant. Not only was he not a jihadist, but he’s actually in the US armed forces.

* I recall a Hispanic convert in Baltimore area was convicted of terrorism charges a few years back.
