Guido, I understand the historical analogies and its highly accurate, but that doesn't exactly leave or put a lot of Italian-Americans in the late 19th/early 20th centuries in a favorable moral/ethical light.
And as bad, heinous, and horrific the Mafia were and still are, they pale in comparison to an idealogically fringe radical, misgyonist, sexist and anti-Semitic fundamentalist Islamic terrorist group that throws homosexuals off of rooftops, views women as servile, almost slave-like roles, won't allow them to go to university, get academic degrees, get good jobs and wear hear-to-feet chardras or veils and are fined or beaten by morality police like in Iran if they break these societal conventions of Shariah law.
