Good grief. I lived in Millcreek for nearly 30 years and married into a Muslim family 18 years ago. Comments like this are so sad. Many Syrian families lost everything except what they could carry with them (perhaps including the gold chains mentioned) and are now trying to start new in a foreign country. How scary it must be for them to have to leave their communities and try to make new friends, re-establish careers or businesses, and raise children in a place where they don't speak the language nor understand the customs and how to navigate the system. A little compassion, curtesy, and curiosity could go such a long way with our new neighbors to create a community where everyone feels safe.
