America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
many forgot what the brotherhood part means :
Brotherhood can be described as a body of people bonding together in a common cause, a kinship of fellow human beings. That song could be thought of as portraying a greatness that develops as the bonding of the people becomes stronger over time. It spoke of brotherhood, unselfishness, and success through nobleness as the formula for creating a society in which people were able to overcome their differences and prejudices and learned how to work together in harmony.

I don't think all Muslims have horns but I do think the evidence is overwhelming that an immigrant who is Muslim is far more likely to commit violence in their new country than any other groups. A religious Hindu immigrant also looks different from the majority population and has significant cultural differences but I have not heard of one attack carried out by a Hindu. As for a temporary ban while the vetting process is examined being Islamophobic... remember that Radical Muslims think nothing of killing moderate Muslims. The San Bernardino shooter killed an Eritrean man who attended mosque with him but was liberal enough to attend a work Christmas party. One of the biggest victims of terrorism are the Muslims who are moderate and not being stuck in an 8th century mentality. Given that France is 10% Muslim I'd bet money that at least some deaths or injuries last night were Muslims.
Any other groups you don't like that you feel don't belong here?
You don't sound American. I don't think YOU belong here.
It is impossible for a Muslim to be an American.
Everything they have is anti-American and I don't want that kind of filth here.
A quote from an 1899 book by Sir Winston Churchill, "The River War," in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener's campaign in the Sudan:
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."
Strange as it may seem but if Winston Churchill were alive to say that in London today he would be arrested for thought crime.
As todays America is a product of immigrants from around the world what constitutes todays American?
I wonder if way back when the native American Indians had similar thoughts on the influx of immigrants at the time and would have gladly rallied around the concept of no more Europeans..
Ridiculous argument....At one time in history did any other group of immigrants that came here had the agenda of wanting to kill Americans?

They were too busy killing and enslaving each other to organize properly.
Wouldn't that be great. We would still be living in teepee's and dying at the ripe old age of 29 if they were still in charge.
Or in Mexico City where they would celebrate by cutting the beating hearts from children offering them to their sun god or whatever. Damn, why did the Spanish ever stop that?
As far as the native American population goes there weren't many of them and as the world population grew we were supposed to leave them alone forever?
Anthropologist Russell Thornton has the population at 5 million for the continental US, 2 million for Canada and 65 million Indians for Central and South America and the Caribbean Islands.[4] These numbers do not necessarily represent the high mark for the native population. There are numerous instances of large native civilizations dying out long before Columbus arrived. Some anthropologists believe the population peak occurred around 1200 AD.
At 5.4 million there are more native Americans today then there were when Columbus landed.
Side note: Why did the peaceful Pueblo Indians build their cities on cliffs?
America! America!

Wonderful liberal sentiment.....It would be great if Muslims were coming here because they really did want to assimilate into our country. Unfortunately some of them are coming here to obliterate our way of life and try to turn us all into Muslims or kill us if we don't
