Many latinos are trying to convert to Judaism.<\/p>\n<p><A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.unz.com\/isteve\/modern-family\/\">Steve Sailer writes<\/a>: In general, I didn\u2019t expect this San Bernardino atrocity to turn out to be another Muslim massacre because Southern California doesn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s time-tested ability to put a chip on the shoulder, and that could be trouble.<\/p>\n<p>COMMENTS:<\/p>\n<p>* Latino\u2019s sensual, pleasure loving culture goes headfront against Islamic puritanism, so I suppose you can relax about that possibility.<\/p>\n<p>* This notion that \u201cLatino\u2019s\u201d [sic] culture is more \u201csensual, pleasure loving\u201d suggests this is a guy who\u2019s never been to the barrio. Latino America is dominated by Mestizos from Mexico. He\u2019s 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.<br \/>\nMostly my own bigoted impression is that Mexicans aren\u2019t going to cotton to the discipline and rigor of Islamic observance. Mexicans have a certain fatalism which produces, I think, a not unwelcome apathy.<\/p>\n<p>* The Persians also once had a \u201csensual, pleasure loving culture\u201d. Arguably they still do even today, but that hasn\u2019t prevented a minority from imposing a rather unpleasant version of Islam on most of the Iranian population.<\/p>\n<p>* The FBI is now saying that they were both radicalized before they met. If that\u2019s true, the \u201cfiance visa\u201d was utilized specifically to bring in another terrorist. A sort of \u201ctwo terrorists for the price of one\u201d program.<\/p>\n<p>* Re Hispanics converting to Islam, there was the case of Jose Padilla: From Taco Bell to Al Qaeda<\/p>\n<p>Hispanics as potential converts for Islam calls to mind a line from Theodore Dalrymple\u2019s essay in Taki\u2019s: \u201cIslam rushes in where Marxism can no longer tread.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>* I\u2019ve always suspected that sexual frustration fuels a lot of the anger you see among Muslim males (and females). If Muslims got laid more, they\u2019d be happier people and less likely to be radicalized.<\/p>\n<p>One reason you seldomly hear about Persians getting radicalized is because they\u2019re too busy with sensual pleasures. If Pakis and other Muslims were able to join in on the fun, there\u2019d be fewer Tashfeens and Syeds.<\/p>\n<p>In his speech two days ago, Trump speculated that Syed Farukh committed the shooting because he couldn\u2019t get women. He even joked that maybe Tashfeen was the first woman that Syed ever had. I really think Trump was on to something.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, Syed\u2019s brother was married to a Russian immigrant. Not only was he not a jihadist, but he\u2019s actually in the US armed forces.<\/p>\n<p>* I recall a Hispanic convert in Baltimore area was convicted of terrorism charges a few years back. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This would not surprise me.
