Two Kinds of Muslims

I Want a New Left has a post up about Joan Didion who recently passed away. She was some kind of famous author, her name didn't ring any bells with me. In any case, he posts this bit which is pretty good.

There are two kinds of Muslim immigrants, and we need to find a way to distinguish them. One kind likes the West and is coming here to escape oppressive conditions. The other kind hates the West and wants to impose oppressive conditions on us. We should allow the first kind in, but we absolutely must keep the second kind out. The second kind hates democracy, which they view as merely rule by humans, while they view Islamic law as rule by Allah. (Any secularist should be able to smash that kind of thinking to smithereens.) Like I said, we need to keep this latter kind out, for obvious reasons.

I've said similar things before, here and here.
