It seems the USA is blind to the folly of allowing a culture inherently opposed to the principles that have governed the USA since its founding, namely ultimately expanding the franchise and rights in society to all, to grow and develop its own entrenched interests. It is one thing to have this happen with the Amish, and in the case of the Medieval Jews and for a long time blacks in the USA, that separate culture was in fact the end of segregation and thus....yeah.

But with this kind of thing, a culture hostile to its wider environs and a self-propagating cultural virus.....it is like the USA is laying the seeds of its own destruction.
