From NY1:Whether it's protesting the president's decision to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan or developing community programs, Muslim women like Monami Maulik have been at the forefront of advocacy work to help and empower their people.
In 2000, Maulik and a handful of others founded Desis Rising Up and Moving in Jackson Heights, Queens to help undocumented South Asian immigrants and workers.
"Unlike the stereotypes of immigrant women or Muslim women or South Asian women, they are very involved because they see hardship and pain firsthand," says Maulik.
South Asia = Afghanistan and Pakistan. Doesn't this sound like a freakin' fantastic program? Open up the doors to people that want to blow us up...Mayor Bloomberg welcomes you with open arms!

Feed'em, get'em strong, so they can go to Somalia for training. Why dont we subsidize the purchase of razor blades so the legal citizens of this country can kill themselves relatively peacefully.
These folks hate us, why are they here and why do they continue to be allowed to stay here? Kick them out - they subscribe to murdering us from the inside - are we stupid fools or what?
Another Two Minutes Hate, brought to you by Queens Crap!
Go on youtube and there is a video of a Muslim group on 82nd street and 37th avenue stepping on an American flag.
I dont have the exact link and dont have the time to look for it (I have to work) but it's there.

Oh cut the nonsense already! Your unquestioning "tolerance" is destroying this country. We have been accepting to a fault, and we are rewarded by getting stabbed in the back by the very people we welcome with open arms.
unfuckinbelievable
Southeast Asia consists of two geographic regions: the Asian mainland (aka. Indochina), and island arcs and archipelagoes to the east and southeast. The mainland section consists of Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and Peninsular Malaysia while the maritime section consists of Andaman and Nicobar Islands (India), Brunei, East Malaysia, East Timor, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, and Singapore.

Hey, I can use Wikipedia, too!
And when I use it, I use it correctly.
South Asia does not equal Southeast Asia:

We're talking primarily about Afghanistan and Pakistan. In fact, Afghanistan is the main focus of this story, if you bother to watch it.
How many of you actually know people from Afghanistan living here? I do. Most of them are refugees, not terrorists. It's really sad that you describe them all as "the people that want to blow us up."
I'm not naive--I know there are people here that wish to harm America, but painting with such broad strokes doesn't accomplish much. That's like saying everyone who posts on Queens Crap is a racist.
It only takes one terrorist to do some serious damage. Allowing people to enter the country illegally, from countries that promote terrorism, is an extremely bad idea.
Close down this group and deport everyone who is here illegally. Interesting that Jackson Heights isn't too far from LaGuardia. Wait till they get enough of them together to blow up the place. Maybe then these bleeding hearts who want to help these illegals will learn.
I wonder if they have posted in their center a list of the residents of Jackson Heights who died on 9/11/2001?
A good Muslim woman stays at home, bears, and raises children. Any notion of "empowerment" in the Amercan sense is un-Islamic.
Jackson Heights' Muslims fled a culture and government they hated and yet once here, they want to transform what we have here to what they had there.
We don't have the Guts as Americans to fight a Religious Jihad.
We should be bombing mosques in afgahnny Iraq and pakistan , and Saudi land
That is where the real evil is.
Take away their gutter religion and i'll bet they will turn into nice people.
This story was part of a 5 part series on the muslim community. It's funny how out of all of them this is the one the crapper posted.
I suggest you folks check out the others at ny1.com under Muslim in NYC.
The repoter covered all sides even political correctness gone awry in the media. Very rare to see that kind of reporting these days.
UNBELIEVABLE! We are becoming the United States of the Foreign Nations.
Unless you're American Indian...we are all foreigners in this country.
So are American Indians.
"Unless you're an American Indian..."
They too are foreigners. Beringians I call them. By crossing the Bering Strait, they usurped and brutally terrorized the original settlers of the continent, the white Solutrean culture from the Pyrennees region of France and Spain which arrived originally here via the Atlantic Ocean Ice Bridge, ca. 20,000 years ago.
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade actually celebrates the arrival of the White Solutrean peoples onto the continent as the balloons traverse the Great White Way, the original highway of their arrival.
The so-called "Indians" are themselves interlopers.
'strue.
