[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]And what's your short game? I have zero issue with energy independence ans getting out of bed with the Saudis . I have less of an issue with Egypt - the Muslim brotherhood is another headache. But what's your plan for the next twenty years while all of that is underway? [/quote]

I already suggested on short term effort: try to drive a wedge between the terrorists and other Muslims. Clearly recognize that most Muslims are valued neighbors and that the terrorists, regardless of how they describe themselves, are not representative of Islam. Try to demonstrate that the US is a land of opportunity for Muslims who are welcome to pursue the American dream. Also, since refugees are a concern, rethink our policies that are helping to create refugees.

A) you have repeatedly stated this has nothing to do with Islam so why would the terrorist care if they are told their actions are not representative? Just curious. Or would you have the Muslim community actually tackle this from a young age in some proactive way to teach the kids values that would supercede these nihilistic power mad ones?

b) the US is historically and currently welcoming. Many Muslims have made great lives and communities here. Heard of Deerborne? Seen the mosque on Mass Ave? The only Muslims I worry about are the Somalis etc refugees being relocated to work in chicken factories and do jobs no one wants to. If thats our refugee support program, we aren't doing anyone a favor. Bound to be resentment.

C) there is the largest movement of refugees on the planet. Many are economic. Rethink our policies on most of Africa? Afghanistan? Pakistan? Quite a scope. How about invite them to stay near where they are from and offer support as they work towards the change they want?[/quote]
