To be honest I was not very comfortable with these appointments either, however after researching the appointees vs stereotyping I was OK with this decision.
Don't get me wrong- stereotyping has its merits or the stereotype would be different (example- stereotype is goth people dress in all black, if they dressed in all yellow the stereotype would be they dress in all yellow. Still true but different than dressing in all black ya see..).
Anyway- IMHO we clearly don't understand this religion well enough to protect our borders so why not get a head start with someone that does?
Did you know, according to Middle East ethics it is rude to rest your leg on your knee with the bottom of your shoe pointing at someone? See- having someone that knows stuff like that helps. Yea- it's crap to me but then again I'm not in the DHS trying to talk with people that find it offensive either.
Just saying- I'm trying to open my eyes up to make myself a better person vs taking at face value all the time. That is my personal reason- don't take that as I am saying anyone is not a better person, etc. Know how crap can get twisted in interpretation on the net...
Wait a second- is Jayboat and them Canadians rubbing off on me? Phack!
