Muslims and Typhoid Mary

A reader sent me this link which compares Muslims with Typhoid Mary. It sounds like a harsh comparison, but this long article is actually a way the writer is trying to understands Muslim presence in Western countries.

Typhoid Mary, who tried to live a productive and useful life despite her illness, became a liability and a danger because she continued to infect people with this invisible disease.

Like Mary, Muslims have this invisible and dangerous disease, which is transferred to us by their presence here. They may be nice individuals, hard working people, pleasant friends. But, ultimately, everything that their religion brings with them will cause us harm, and even death.

The article is a little long, but it is worth reading for the unusual analogy.
