Phat writes: I totally disagree. On what grounds do you disagree? Mohammed was a warrior, not a turn the other cheek, meditate quietly type of guy. Parts of the Quran and Hadith can properly be interpreted as the holy jihad of the kind being practiced by these fanatics. It's unreformed. It needs moderate Muslims to do away with all the primitive abhorrences in their holy books just as liberal Christians have with theirs.Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien.

As does Christianity. The difference is that Christianity manages to ignore its more revolting ideas and was reformed through secular and economic development. Islam has not been reformed and the worst parts of it are still practiced literally in under-developed countries with low education. Like Christianity, it's going to take centuries to grow up and grow out of its worst aspects. And like Christianity it'll take a few more centuries to merge into a fuzzy sort of general niceness with little reference to its fundamental idiocies.
I don't know who made up that bunch of pernicious lies but it's sheer evil. There is noi comparison whatever. Islam is murder and has been from the beginning. Hey keep your Muslims while they slaughter you. Have fun.

Our new government is looking at incoming refugees as an opportunity, not a problem. Opportunity for what?

No you can't fight them and you can't change them. The best you can do is hope to keep them out of your own country.

Governments are supposed to protect their citizens. Inviting in a horde of dangerous people is not protecting their citizens. Asking them to give up their apartments to this horde, as some have bgeen asked to do in Germany, is not protecting their citizens. Jesus never said anything to support creating dangerous situations.

How do we make this stop? ... (1) ... stop making terrorists. Terrorism is a response to repression and unjust treatment. The Schrubbia administration ended up creating more terrorists than they killed or captured because of the way they treated the people, the civilian populations, with detached disdain. Drone attacks cause more people to be outraged and prepared for desperate measures to counter. (2) ... stop glorifying their actions with 24\7 coverage gloating over how horrid and terrible it is and how planned and organized they were and how we are going to wage war on them, don't give them names and don't mention their claims (leave that for police investigations). Stop calling them "terrorist" and call them what they are: crazy criminals. You don't solve crazy or criminal behavior with wars, but with psychiatric treatment and criminal investigation, just prosecution and appropriate detention. Everything we need to know could have been covered in 5 minutes. Enjoyby our ability to understand Rebel☮American☆Zen☯Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

Governments are supposed to protect their citizens. ... And visitors and guests.
... Inviting in a horde of dangerous people is not protecting their citizens. ... People that are refuges and immigrants are people that were fleeing death, destruction and mayhem in their home lands. They are not about to cause death, destruction and mayhem in their new homes. They are not the fanatics, and you know it.
... Jesus never said anything to support creating dangerous situations. Such as bottling people up in concentration camps instead of welcoming them?

It's sickening to see all the religious outrage standing up and saying.. "see! you have angered GoB! We Are the chosen primates!" They all fail to see the divisiveness of their fairy tales.

Hey keep your Muslims while they slaughter you. So, you've given up everything to help refugees, and Tangle is being slaughtered by Muslims. Seems like a lot of people I know are having a rough day.

'Just wait' Islamic State reveals ... Claims. The word is claims. You know how they're bad people? I think they may occasionally tell fibs.
