How many students from Muslim countries have studied here and either remained here as productive, peaceful citizens, or gone back to their home countries to improve the quality of life there?
Unfortunately we'll never know until it's way too late and, one day it will be too late. Also, ironically, we will have provided them the education and protection to plan. I pray it's not you're family or, any of ours. When you can guarantee me that you can point out the US Muslims that will put their country before their religion and/or their own people, then I will be with you. Unfortunately I see no way you can do that. Also, if you can tell me how we can protect ourselves and our homeland without making them leave, or at minimum stop them from coming here, I'll go along happily.
Why not other religions, races, etc.? I don't see any of them hell bent on the destruction of America and it's people.
Never before have we had another race/religion of people from outside of our country come here with their only intent to be committing murder on our innocent citizens and death to all American. I'm not satisfied with "well, it's inevitable in a free society". We can be a free society and also be a free society that uses our head and takes action when it's obviously needed to protect our people.
I also submit to you that your way of life in this country is going to end up being much more compromised the longer we continue down this path. There will end up being more of your freedoms and more of your rights jeopardized because of what we will have to do internally to try to protect the innocent from these people that hide behind our freedom. It's time to look beyond the nose our face.
Finally, In this way, a country is much like your home. Everybody is welcome in my home as long as I know who they are, they ask permission and they do no harm. But the minute one race/religion of people kill some of my family and then promise to do it again and again and not stop until we're dead, they're not going to be welcome to come and go in my home anymore.
Oh, and lets say I have taken some them into my home to live there over the years but now have found out that some of the very people I have taken in are conspiring to kill my family, I'm going to be forced to ask them all to leave since I can't tell which ones are conspiring and, since the innocent ones aren't doing anything to help stop the others or telling me who the others are. They leave it all up to me and my family.
I'm sure that some people would tell me that I have to let them stay and let them keep coming in even though the killing of my family is forcing me take measures to protect them and, those very measures are going to end up jeopardizing some of their freedom and rights of privacy in order for me to do what I have to do to attempt to keep them protected and alive.
In fact, I imagine my family members would quickly ask me to remove them and tell me it's not right to subject them to these people, especially since I am finding out there is still planning and conspiring going on for more killing and death of my family. I think they might even demand it of me. Now, if I don't take this action, who's to blame when the rest of my family ends up dead?
The minute a nuke goes off in this country, peoples attitude will change. Well, it will be a tad too late. How much more plain does it have to get, no one is making this stuff up, it's real and a real threat. Heck, they have already committed acts of mass murder and mass destruction that no one would have ever thought possible. They are still attempting, still trying, still conspiring, doing it in other free countries, changing tactics and becoming smarter, going to our schools to become educated, and so on.
We're going to look back someday and feel pretty stupid. And. we're going to assume some of the guilt for allowing them to even be here. I fear that someday, it will all be very clear to us.
Sound radical? Would you rather be forced at some point to destroy a bunch of innocent Muslims or keep them alive and just not them in our country during these times. I don't think it even qualifies as radical when you compare it to 911, bombs on mass transit, suicide bombers and threats of nukes and chemical bombs used inside this country.
