"Islamophobes" don't seem to be gunning down and blowing up people.

The phrase "Islamophobe" is simply code for 'racist', because that's all you have to defend yourselves against the truth - that Islamic radicals simply want death to all that are not Islamic radicals, and no one 'made them do it'.[/quote]

"Islamophobe" perfectly describes people like Ted Cruz and Ben Carson who want to discriminate against all Muslims, even those fleeing the violence of ISIS. Do you agree with Cris Christie that even Syrian children under 5 should be barred from entering the US? What do you think of those Americans who turned away the St. Louis and refuse to let Jewish refugees enter the US? Do you identify yourself with them?

Jews were not shooting up European civilian sites in terrorists attacks.  Jews never posed a security threat to the U.S.  Europe has a huge problem of unassimilated Muslims that leads to disenfranchised young men turning radical and posing a security threat.  Do you now see a concern in Europe that Americans want to avoid here?  It's a straw man to think those of us who are concerned about homegrown Muslim extremists can't also recognize that the vast majority of muslims are peaceful and just want to live life.  [/quote]

The Americans who opposed allowing Jewish immigrants into the United States felt that their position was justified, just as you think you are justified in your views. If you want to avoid disenfranchised young men in the US, a good start would be to develop a more welcoming attitude. I can't think of a better way to alienate them then by adopting a national policy opposing them. Are we so weak as to allow fear and prejudice to drive our policies?

Name me a muslim majority country that you would raise your daughter in.  That you would be openly homosexual in.  That you would openly practice Judaism in.  The answer is zero, and you know it.  The key to Muslim immigration is ensuring we are bringing people in that abandon their old world prejudices and assimilate to American values.   We don't want to replicate Europe's failure of letting in Muslim immigrants en masse without a plan to assimilate them into society.  Unassimilated muslim men are a unique security threat that unassimilated Asian, Jewish, Buddist, Hindu men aren't.[/quote]

You are ignorant and prejudiced. My college roommate came directly from Lebanon. He is a Shia Muslim who had virtually never been out of the southern suburbs of Beirut. He adjusted perfectly to life in the US, becoming an accomplished electrical engineer who is likely responsible for some of the appliances in your kitchen. He is far from unique. People used to talk about the Irish in a similar manner. They would bring there papism, drunkenness, and crime and never assimilate. People talk that way today about poor Latinos.

The hysteria you people are demonstrating is incredible.
