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.

I don’t know why you are complaining, the U.S. government is doing more to help you, listening to what you want, when muslims murder people here in the U.S., Obama blame U.S. citizens and not muslims who commited the murders, I think muslims have it pretty good here in the U.S. THIS IS REPLY TO SALAHUDDEEN BELLO BALA

Where is America killing Millions of Muslims?…..please prove this staement,thanks
They don’t hate the U.S., they want us gone and they own it.
Wtf?
Hell yeah
They HATE EVERYTHING but allah!
America is playing the blame game, its a whole lot of conspiracy in play if you believe in the media alone then you are far left behind.
Muammar Gaddafi was eliminated out the cycle as America claimed it was for the best of his region claiming peace shall reign in the region but after that chaos engulfed Libya and America didn’t even care to look back and this shows clearly America had a single mission which is to destabilize each and every Muslim country in the whole world one after the other
Yes because they are jealous of us, and our lifestyle, and the Freedom we have, that they don’t have. They can’t even worship who or what they want. If. They were not so,,, serpressed, they would be free to choose what kind of worship they could have. But if they choose anything other than Muslim they would loose there head . what kind of worship that holds someone in fear of there lives all the time. Look at all the Christian they have beheaded or tortured ,sexuly abused, then killed, even little children. They even made mom and dad watch them kill their children or denounce CHRIST JESUS, turn to Muslim, does that sound like love, no. That is why they hate us because we can worship in freedom.
yep but they love camels and sheep. Literally and factually
