I am a Christian of Arab descent. I grew up in Jerusalem together with my Muslim neighbors and friends. It infuriates me to witness the bigotry of a large number of politicians, particularly Republicans, toward Islam, the Syrian refugees, and the Sharia law.
The leading Republican presidential candidate has gone mad. Donald Trump has called for surveillance of U.S. mosques, the creation of a database of Syrian refugees and would not rule out creating a registry for all American Muslims. Trump also called for deporting the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in America and building a large wall along the border with Mexico.
Dr. Ben Carson, the neurosurgeon, presumably a smart man, who trails only slightly Trump among Republicans, insisted in a CNN interview that for a Muslim to become a U.S. president he or she has “to reject the tenets of Islam.” He also said he “would not advocate putting a Muslim in charge of this nation.”
On Nov. 19, the U.S. House passed a bill, with 289 members supporting it, including Democrats, that seeks to enforce unreasonable security demands on the U.S. admission of Syrian refugees – people who are fleeing a war-torn country and a brutal, inhuman and a savage terrorist group – ISIS. These refugees are part of the largest wave of refugees since World War II.
To add insult to injury, some 32 mostly-Republican governors signed off on orders saying that they would refuse to cooperate with federal efforts to resettle Syrian refugees fleeing the barbaric Islamic State group, known as ISIS.
Sadly, America has done this before, and we have not learned from our mistakes. During last century’s two World Wars, we did it to the Italians, the Germans and the Japanese. And, in peacetime, we persecuted Blacks (take note Dr. Carson), Jews, Asians and Latinos.
The First Amendment’s fundamental religious freedom guarantee and Article VI of the Constitution forbid religious tests for any government office.
This past week, the Democratic National Committee fired back. The DNC launched an ad titled “Inciting fear isn’t presidential.” The ad shows clips of an unlikely figure, President George W. Bush, saying, “We do not fight against Islam. We fight against terrorism. That’s not what Islam is about. Islam is peace.”
Between 1989 and 2006, the United States welcomed with open arms, as it should have, 325,000 Jews from the former Soviet Union countries. Are Jews human beings while Muslims are savages and terrorists?
All of us, except Native Indians, are immigrants to this country. The parents of Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are first generation immigrants and look at what their sons have achieved. They are members of the U.S. Senate. Why are then these two self-righteous bigots opposed to legalizing the status of illegal immigrants in this country (who are mostly Latinos) and not welcoming refugees from Syria?
Americans of Arab heritage have contributed greatly to this country. Apple founder Steve Jobs’ father was a Syrian immigrant. Professor Elias Corey won the 1990 Nobel Prize for chemistry. George Mitchell was the Senate Majority Leader. Candace Lightner founded MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving); and Danny Thomas founded St. Jude’s Research Hospital.
ISIS does not represent Islam, nor are they practicing Muslims. They are a bunch of thugs, murderers and rapists who commit their crimes in the name of Islam. The Quran only permits fighting in self-defense or to protect “churches, synagogues, temples, and mosques.” Any wars committed in the name of Islam have nothing to do with Islam. They are politically motivated.

China’s Central Bank is moving forward with capital markets reforms that could make it easier for Chinese citizens to invest in South Florida real estate.
The country’s monetary policymakers announced on Friday they may soon allow residents of a Shanghai free-trade zone to buy overseas assets directly – a trial run for the rest of China and part of a broader effort to loosen capital controls.
The move would also open up Yuan-denominated bonds to foreign companies. Chinese citizens currently face tight limits on the amount of money they can invest abroad. Those looking to convert funds from Yuan into Dollars to buy, say, an apartment in Brickell, often have to do so through companies or by smuggling cash to Hong Kong.
The announcement comes despite an uptick in capital outflows from China in recent months, which would normally provide an incentive to tighten capital controls.
In September alone, investors pulled $194 billion from the country, according to Bloomberg. “A lot of people suggested that if the economy slows, if there’s more volatility, the Chinese will drop the reforms,” Andy Rothman, an investment strategist at fund manager Matthews Asia, told Bloomberg.
“I don’t think that’s the way the Chinese government views it. They are not worried about the scale of the outflows.” ISG World, an Aventura-based brokerage, recently partnered with one of China’s top real estate firms that has more than 60,000 agents spread throughout 17 cities.
It’s the latest move in Miami’s real estate market, where eyes have turned to Asia now that a strengthening U.S. dollar has sapped the energy of South American investors.
Robert Gorlow, the head of Florida operations for Triple Five Group, revealed new details about the massive American Dream Miami mall and theme park project during a meeting with the South Florida Regional Planning Council on Wednesday.
Gorlow has been working with the developer for two years to build what could be North America’s largest mall and theme park on 225 acres near the southwest corner of Interstate 75 and Florida’s Turnpike in Miami-Dade County. As he prepares to submit a comprehensive plan amendment application with the county for the project in November, Gorlow spoke to the regional planning board members about the scope of the project and showed them a presentation.
Here are 5 new things about the $4 billion project from Gorlow’s presentation:
Size
American Dream Miami would have over 3 million square feet of retail, about 2 million square feet of entertainment and 2,000 hotel rooms. That's larger than the Mall of America in Minnesota. As previously mentioned, the entertainment would include a theme park, the world’s largest indoor ski slope measuring 180,000 square feet, 800 feet long and 16 stories high plus an ice climbing wall, a water park, a giant observation wheel, a submarine lake with marine life such as sharks and manta rays, an Art Deco village with performance halls and a 3,000-seat movie theater, an ice skating rink, a museum, bowling, and mini golf. Gorlow said the previously mentioned sea lion show and residential units would not be part of the project. It would be developed all at once, he added.
Branding
Triple Five Group is seeking a branding partner for the project’s entertainment. Gorlow mentioned DreamWorks and an associated on-site film/TV production studio as a possibility for the project, as Triple Five Group has partnered with DreamWorks for its American Dream project in New Jersey. However, Gorlow said they aren’t in serious negotiations with DreamWorks for the Miami project.
One rendering from Triple Five Group’s presentation has DreamWorks on the side of a building.
Traffic
The developer is working with the Florida Department of Transportation with recommendations to improve the interchange between Interstate 75 and the Florida Turnpike, which was in the works even before this project was announced. The developer wants a new ramp on the interchange so people on Interstate 75 can get on the Turnpike in both directions. It’s also proposed a Turnpike exit at Northwest 170th Street.
“Traffic is important because if the traffic doesn’t work, people don’t come. It’s too crowded and people don’t like it,” Gorlow said. “We have extreme interest in having the traffic be better than anyone would want."
Tenant mix
Gorlow said the retail tenant mix would be very similar to Triple Five Group’s Mall of America, “just about everyone you can think of.” He said there would be over 100 restaurants, with a focus on fine dining.
Water usage
Most of the water for the indoor ski slope and water park will be recycled and retail doesn’t have much water usage. Triple Five Group is in ongoing discussions with the city of Hialeah, which just built a reverse osmosis water treatment plant, and the South Florida Water Management District about water consumption.
Gorlow said the project would probably take four years to open.
For the past few years, the housing market has been unbalanced. Strong demand and lean supply keep pushing prices higher and higher.
On Wednesday, a fresh piece of data confirmed that trend. The Mortgage Bankers Association’s weekly purchase loan data showed that the average size of a home loan was the largest in the history of its survey, which goes back to 1990.
Higher prices have a few different effects on the market. Buyers have to make tradeoffs on the kinds of homes they can afford, or may be shut out of ownership altogether.
They may also adjust their borrowing. Larger mortgage sizes may reflect not just more expensive properties, but also more leveraged ones.
The 20% down payment is a relic: the median down payment in 2016 was 10%. For first-time buyers, it was 6%. First-timers and other buyers of less-expensive homes are more leveraged now than they were at the height of the housing bubble a decade ago.
