Following the brutal murders committed by an Islamic terrorist couple in San Bernardino, California, there were a number of polls testing the opinion of American citizens regarding potential Islamic immigration. President Barack Obama was inviting thousands of Syrian refugees to settle in the U.S., purportedly Syrian families who were fleeing a civil war in their country.
Prior to the San Bernardino killings, Muslim Jihadi killed 130 Parisians in multiple locations, showing that they could strike anywhere with brutal and broad based strategies. Following these two incidents, ISIS, the Islamic terror organization, declared that they were using the American refugee program to sneak murderous jihadi into the U.S. under the guise of families fleeing the violence in Syria.
Obama used the refugee program to bring in tens of thousands of families, in spite of the objection of the residents in several states that were used as dumping grounds of these families. Obama was completely disinterested in the objections of the citizens who were being forced to host these families, particularly after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino.
The attacks put new emphasis on the inability to effectively vet the incoming individuals, particularly after some of the officials in the immigration department confirmed that they could not accurately check to see if the incoming migrants were Muslim terrorists. Obama then went on a shaming tour to insult and denigrate American citizens who were worried about their own safety, and he demanded that they accept without reservation the coming crowds of unvetted Islamic immigrants.
Several of the GOP presidential candidates weighed in on the debate, most prominently Donald Trump, who stated that Muslim immigrants should be prohibited from immigrating to the U.S. until the immigration service had been upgraded and could ensure that immigrants coming in were not a danger to American citizens. With that, a firestorm erupted, with Democrats and Obama calling Trump and anyone who agreed with him a bigot and a religious persecutor. However, many citizens agreed with Trump and indicated that the job of the president and his immigration department is first and foremost to keep Americans safe.
In polls conducted by both the NBC News/Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post/ABC News, a majority of U.S. citizens opposed Trump’s proposal, although a Washington Post/ABC News survey showed that a majority of GOP voters supported the idea.
There is a very clear division of how the problem should be dealt with when questioning Democrat or Republican audiences, a situation which will undoubtedly change after the next Islamic terror attack on America soil takes place, as it inevitably must. However, it is interesting to contrast the relatively magnanimous spirit of Americans towards Muslims in the wake of violent attacks with polls of various Middle Eastern or majority Islamic nations on their attitudes towards America.
Opinion of Islamic nations towards U.S., next page:
We do not hate all Muslims — our Corrupt government is bringing terrorists in — there will be war in America soon — We hate our government as much as you do .
I dont believe we should give a damm if they hate us or not. We are at war with Islam. A religion. If you are a muslim you are suspect a priori based on the religion. Does yhis mean all muslims are guilty? No. But if a club is shot up by thugs; when the police show up, no one is leaving until all are questioned, statements taken, and hopefully the perpetrators taken into custody. The same principle applies to our war ahainst the form of Islam that gives people the right, and the duty, to massacre all those who wont accept their ignorant, immoral, teachings. Teachings that they believe were given to them by an illiterate warlord who flew to heaven on a winged horse and split the moon in half. Now, i can prove he didnt have a winged horse; and i cant prove he didnt have a golden unicorn either, but both seem equally improbable in my judgement. These are not spiritual people, these are maniacal, religious maniacs that need to be ridiculed and confronted. Relentlessly and often. The left, (of which i am a member) seems unwiling to do this out of fear of offending a religion. Well if your religion is causing you to murder indiscriminately, and you believe this is divine revelation then you need to be offended. We refused to offend tje catholic church and they were systematically raping children in almost every country on the planet. I could go on endlessly. The Solution? Remove religion from the public arena. You are free to worship in whatever capacity you choose in the privacy of your homes, synagogues, mosques, and churches. However, you should not be allowed to impose, or attempt to impose those beliefs on others. Whethet through shame, intimidation, or legislation. Pay taxes on all religiously held property at fair market rates with tax deductions for charity work that doesnt involve prosyletizing.
three thousand lives were taken and more none of it ok very sad to kill no good
Your Govt aint to great either,BS laws restricting womans rights etc.,plus forcinf this sharia/khoran BS on the world.Stay in your own country,God devided people in race/language/continent,stop forcing this migration BS.If you want so see a fkup come to South Africa,we’ve got hundreds of religions/races each trying to forct the other to accept his and defy his own beliefs.It Doesn’t WorK!
yes
They must never come here
Yes, any Muslim that practices or believes in Sharia Law hates the US and will NEVER, EVER assimilate.
Americans will never comply or accept Sharia Law. Where are the peaceful Muslims that are willing to stand up for Americans? I haven’t seen any. Yes, they hate us because we will never conform nor accept their practices which are not peaceful.
We cannot coexist, the people of America will NEVER accept Sharia law, and this is our country, to ask that we accept it is not acceptable. If you come here, you accept our laws, without question, or you can leave. It just that simple!!!
it is about why ??
