Nashville, Tennessee has one of the fastest growing foreign-born populations of any major US city. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, “The 2000 data showed an increase of 210.1 percent in the immigrant population since 1990, which compared with a 6.5 percent increase in the native-born population (which includes children born to immigrants) over the same period. That meant that immigration accounted directly for 45.4 percent of the overall population increase of the city.” Though much of this increase is comprised of immigrants from Southeast Asia, for our purposes we will focus on the Muslim population which accounts for up to half of all immigrants claiming refugee status to the United States.  more...

Muslim Boy Scouts!

If I remember anything about my days of scouting, with weekly Den Meetings and monthly Pack meetings, it is that EVERY meeting started with the Pledge of Allegiance.
I'll bet my tax refund there is no pledge recital in Nashville's meetings, and if I am correct, what does Boy Scouts of America have to say about that?

salam or peace;

I know for a fact that Mr Fadi Ezzeir is not Kurdish, Congressman Cooper office verified that the allegations against Hasan and the Somali community that was aired on channel 4 (WSMV) were not true.

I hope that you will check your information before you publish them.  Nobody is a member of the Ikhwan organization in Nashville, and I can assure you that the Muslim Brotherhood organization does not have any major influence in the country of origin (EGYPT).

You need to do a better job of explaining your statements.  Islam and Muslims are not your enemy and I like to invite to any of our Islamic centers in Nashville and you'll discover that most of us are not even committed Muslims-most of our centers have no activities except for the Friday prayer.  If you want to modernize "civilize" us, you are doing it wrong.  Study our history from our sources, open a dialogue with us, and visit our centers.

May God guide all of us to do the right things.

An overview? I don't think so. How disappointing to read such a slanted, biased, Ann Coulterish article.

Very ,very ,small. Sad and small.

Asalaamu alaykum to everyone who will come across this. i was shocked to see such words about  Kasar Abdullah. thos of you who don't know this Beautiful and wonderful muslim sister are missing alot, and may will believe that she is radical and whatever was said about her... if anyone out there knows Kasar Abdullah well enough that person is got to be me..  Kasar is the only muslim sister who has dedicated most of her time on helping muslim children. Kasar is not  radical or a hater of other religions, Kasar doesn't breach bad or ugly against anyone out there, All what Kasar is doing is helping the muslim community around her to be better muslims, stronger muslims, muslim are not just muslims by the word and the looks, but muslims who know what Islam is and what it is all about.  she helps thos little muslim girls to understand and love themselves as muslim, and she does teach and explain the beauty of Islam and Islamic way of living in the most beautiful and peaceful ways there can ever be................... We as muslim should support this sister, we should love her and let her know that she is not alone out there and we all are looking up to her and wish for our kids to be just like her....... i believe the Islamic school of nashville should change its name to Kasar Islamic School.  Kasar is worthy of everthing she is. she is actually more and better then what she or you guys out there think or believe she is...  lets get to know her better and support her.   she is the best we have in the Nashville Area............ with respect to everyone who gets to read this.
may Allah guide us all to the right path and guide and protect our children.   thank you Kasar for being the way you are.

Always American
Let me put it to you lightly—I'm not a fan of this cult. I despise it with every bone in my body. If they ever force me to submit to it's “ways” I'll go to my grave fighting it. If there is anything in this world worth fighting against it's that despicable “religion.” I believe it's more dangerous than the Nazi Party or Communism ever were. Why? Because it portrays itself as a religion. In our country your not supposed to hate anything anymore. Some things need to be despised. I'm affraid to even write this because I may OFFEND them. Well, I'm offended that Islam creats wars that leave people as refugees.

What a racist, uneducated, alarmist, piece of drivel with broad sweeping generalizations and inferences not based on fact. And shame on you all who just follow along without fact checking. Because an organization is Muslim, or because a person is Muslim, does not mean they are a terrorist organization, or a terrorist. One thing does not necessarily follow the other. This is like saying because the KKK is a hate group based in America, all Americans are out to kill everyone of another race. Ridiculous.

Salam Alaikum Everyone. I happen to know many of the people this author "tried" to write about in this article. I am a convert to Islam, and very proud to be a part of the Muslim Community in Nashville, Tennessee. The Imam you speak of AbdulHakim was very nice to me when I went searching for answers after 9-11. He was kind and so were all the sisters that I met at the Islamic Center on 12th ave. As well as Dr. BinHazin. I was not FORCED to do anything nor was I treated in a bad way by an Muslim. I think this author should have done more research, talked to more people, and opened her mind and maybe her heart a little before writing this article. And I invite anyone to visit any of the Mosques in Nashville, you will be greeted warmly and welcomed. I have met many of the Somali and Kurdish in the area and they are all very nice people. You have to open your mind to the possibility that even though we are from different places, speak different languages, cook different food, have a different religion that really all people are the same in reality. We all need food, water, shelter,and education, we love our children and our elders, and we want the next generation to have better and be better than the one that we were born into. And another thing, we are all from immigrants in this country unless you are 100% Native American. That is what made this country strong, and will continue to keep this country strong with all the diversity. My words may not be the most eloquent, but I hope that my point was made and that you recieve it nicely as I wrote this with love in my heart for all people Christian, Jew, And Muslim in Nashville.

This article is amazing, very informative and factually accurate. 

For anyone who thinks the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoots are not a threat by now, they are either on the side of the bad guys or they are purposefully ignorant so as to not worry about what is transpiring, being the equivalent of not going to the doctor for fear you have cancer.  Surely that will keep me from harm.  What ludicrosy.

Keep up the good work, and please inform me as to your latest works.

As I read through the comments, I was humored to read the words of salam and peace who said that he can tell us for a fact that the Muslim Brotherhood is not a part of its founding country of Egypt.  I wonder if he's willing to change his tune now?

I despise these people who take advantage of our good will, our money and our freedoms to decimate our culture. I despise you that you come here and make demands of our communities like separate swim days.  No, build your own damned swimming pool if you want special days. Where are the liberals now and why aren't they shouting, "Separation of church and state"!  You can't come here and make demands.  Why didn't Dell fire these people for leaving their jobs.  A christian would be fired for the same behavior.  Go pray in the bathroom during your breaks.  Please don't hire these people and give them our jobs.  Go home, Pigs!

And those of you treasonous Americans who are protecting this people while they dismantle our society, shut the f#$k up about how peaceful Islam is.  Have you watched the youtube videos about the Islamization of Europe?  They block the streets and people can't get to their homes just so that they can pray.  Muslims are disrespectful of our culture, our customs and our way of life. Jessica, I hope one of those suicide bombers blows you away or rapes you for not wearing a veil.  This is happening to British women who are non-Muslim.  I am going to keep my guns safe because I;m ready to start target practice. Damn, liberals are helping people destroy our inheritance and giving control of our soil to foreigners. F@#K liberals and Muslims!

Phuck off Hanan.  I don't want to hear that BS about Islam being paceful and how ashamed you are of me.  You are not my fellow citizen, you are my enemy.  You killed 3,000 of my people and fellow citizens.  Remember!  Go home. I don't want you here.  I hope our militia will start taking you out one by one.  I don't want you teaching my kid about Mohammed the pedophile in boys scouts.  Wait the phuck up people.  Who are the idiots who brought these people here, anyway.  Round them up Nashville, and let the farm boys take him deer hunting.

Americans are so ill-informed!  Like Herman Cain says, "Stupid people are ruining America". Liberals and the uninformed.  I try to warn people, but they stick their hands in the damned sand.  Muslims infiltrate countries and become parasites worse than illegal Mexicans and blacks who sponge off of welfare.  Give me blacks and Mexicans, but get rid of this Muslims at all costs.

We deserve what we are now facing. The voting public has put a bunch of politicians into office that are socialists and out of touch with everyday life. The influx of immigrants that refuses to be integrated must be halted. These Muslims are like a parasite that will comsume us....on purpose. Wake up America. We are doomed to follow the fall of the Roman empire and we are doing it to ourselves.
