Of course, the rapid left-wingers probably like the symmetry of this.

They helped Hitler, and Bush=Hitler, so its only natural the US would resettle them. |
Yes I do know quite a bit about the Meshketian Turks and my point was tongue in cheek about the formation of an active muslim cell in Vermont based on the fact that these particular families are muslim. My point was that Vermont in particular does not assimilate any group into this state. Folks that were not born here are always outsiders and I am not talking about aliens but US citizens without a Vermont birth certificate. If you are going to bring a group of families into this country and hope to enable them to be assimilated into this country as solid citizens you have to provide the environment to do it. You just do not plop them down in the middle of the Green Mountains without any infrastructure to support their needs and make them part of the community/culture. That is not going to happen here. While I do not expect that these folks to come in here with a terrorist game plan I do expect those cells that are in the proximity to see this as an opportunity to exploist this target audience as at least unwitting accomplices to their cause. They have something in common with the Meshketians while no one else in this state does. Vermonters are naive to most things that occur outside the borders of this state unless it has to do with things like deer wasting disease. So to answer your question, NO I did not "hear they are Muslim" and that they "must be terrorists or their supporters". I might have been born at night counsellor but I was not born last night. So if that makes you
get over it, because that was not my intention. But then, perhaps, I need to pick my words a little more carefully.
