Living with Muslims

* I am deeply disturbed by Robert Royal's recent column (NCR, Dec. 15). He sounds reasonable and practical in questioning the ability of people with another Abrahamic religion to assimilate to this country. But what he is actually saying, in a newspaper with "Catholic" in its title, is that Jesus is wrong, that some people are inherently unsuited to live among us, that, we, like Mr. Royal, cannot and should not accept in this country any of the some 1.2 billion persons whom our faith tells us were created by God the Father.
