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.

well liza echevarria, you got everything mixed up, first of all you mistranslated the quran, i give you only one verse from quran and you could translate it as you like, /if anyone slays a human being-unless it be [in punishment] for murder or for spreading corruption on earth-it shall be as though he had slain all mankind; whereas, if anyone saves a life, it shall be as though he had saved the lives of all mankind/ and we do not hate nobody,we hate their actions, you are talking as if we appose a threat while ISIS killed many innocent Muslims then it did to you, and do not act like if your government is innocent, remember what happened in Iraq Afghanistan and many other spots in the world, your government was responsible for the death of many innocents Muslims. if islam was as you saying, you wouldnt be breathing now, since we are almost 2 billions, and do not judge two billion because of several extremest whom were pushed by political or economic motives, so please think, understand then talk ….bye Liz
Omg this is so not from the quran
I saw a video this morning of Muslim men skinning a live rabbit and thinking it was funny. In our society they would be locked up and under psychiatric care. These people brutalize others and think nothing of it. Who is going to finance the damage??? There will be carnage because these people are antisocial by our standards. Obama is numb to it because he is that way himself. SICK BY MY STANDARDS. CRIMINALS INSANE.
they dont hate all of us they just hate stupid radical christians that act just as bad as daesh
kit’s interesting that the question the meme asks? isn’t really addressed in the article, whether it’s about how many approve or disapprove of accepting large amounts of un=vetted refugees into our country. It seems to slam Trumps idea of holding off on immigration until we get the vetting process better and like the liberals media seems to want to show America’s denial of Trumps proposal but fail to explain how Trump has such a huge following in the polls……

They hate everyone that isn’t Muslim!
Soo true!! No way is that acceptable…..We have to protect & uphold our laws, liberties that protect us..even if it opposes the President’s personal religious beliefs. Thats why the laws were written because of this very thing..however, he is always breaking the laws of our constitution by ignoring it. And he is really pushing to change things with his idealalogy here..
And gee all those billions Obama gives them of our money and they still hate us….do you ever think americans hate them and are sick of there jihad murdering ways. 9/11 was enough for me and now San Bernardino and all the other cover ups. This sick president needs to be stopped.
