[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that [b]we know that two of the people involved in the Paris attack are citizens of France and one is a citizen from Belgium[/b].  They have a Syrian passport for one of the people, but they have confirmed that it was stolen or a fake; thought they do know that this man entered Europe via Turkey and claimed to be a refugee.

So why are we trying to keep Syrians out when [b]the wrong doers are citizens of France and Belgium. Even the "shoe bomber" was traveling on a British passport.[/b]  If you are concerned about terrorists coming to America, isn't this legislation too narrow?

You have correctly identified my objection to importation of refugees.  It's not that I think the refugees are terrorists, almost none of them are.  It's the children of Muslim immigrants who are radicalized.  I have zero desire to replicate the failure of Europe in absorbing large numbers of Muslims.  And yes, I am aware how politically incorrect that sounds, and that it is only a small percentage of horrific apples ruining things for the vast majority of peaceful Muslims.

[/quote]Actually what you need to do is understand the difference between Europe and the United States. As troubled as we are in our race and ethnic relations, Muslims are actually much more integrated into our society while in France they are marginalized, endure residential segregation, and high unemployment. The United States is more enlightened in this matter which leads to less radicalization.

Okay that's my educated rational response addressing the core of your argument. My appalled emotional response is - are you saying that you really believe it's okay to keep people out based on what their children who haven't even been born yet might do?

Okay back to logic - anyway, based on your argument we shouldn't let any Muslims come to the United States refugee or not. Because who knows what their children will do. Do you really want to stand by that argument and defend it?[/quote]
