In my most humble opinion, A moderate Muslim is like a Unitarian Christian or a liberal Jew, their religion has more to do with their politics and feeling good about themselves than any basis in any religious text. They may be good people, but they don't really adhere to the teachings of their faith that they don't agree with or feel comfortable with. So a moderate Muslim is more like non-practicing Muslim. I know this Muslim friend, he drinks alcohol, and seldom visited Mosque. Pray 5 times? Not happening. I think he is the moderate Muslim. He has no problems joining the armed forces to defend the country he lives in.

There are some key differences between German Muslims and American Muslims. Most American Muslims are quite successful and are productive members of the society.

Have you ever thought why Germany has thrown open its doors to asylum seekers like never before? It's not simply post-Nazi guilt, they at one time, thought these guest workers can solve the aging population problem.

However, EU citizens, suddenly awakened to how easily Middle East instability can be exported to their heartland, are the outsiders who stand most to benefit from solving the refugee-generating conflict. Their economic and potential military resources will almost certainly be directed more to that goal.

They're escaping...and trying to set up camp in the US and make it "just like back home" without the folks who will rape/kidnap/kill/cut off the head of a baby....b/c somehow their twisted brains can't understand that what they BELIVE IN is the REASON that went down in the first place. It will all come full circle. Eventually.

And the dumb short-sighted progressives and liberals THINK this is a good thing.

But yes, let's bring their archaic ways to the US, coddle them, pay for them, let them run cities/towns like it's Iran/Iraq/Syria...it's all good. /eyeroll

We are saving their lives and lives of their children AND we give them free stuff and western freedom and coddle them. The least they could do is be grateful and assimilate to the culture. If I had to run to some foreign country and they were kind enough to take me in I would dress and live as they do because they did something amazing for me and I would feel that debt of gratitude.


Something is really wrong here.

If only liberals cared as much about Americans as they did the rest of the world, they'd be spending time and money working to get better care for our Veterans or some other worthy domestic cause.

"Does the United States allow private sponsors to resettle refugees?Not right now, although efforts are underway to change that. While citizens can volunteer or donate money, and may use the word “sponsor” to describe their work, they never steer the process and are not able to affect the total number of refugees accepted.
“We don’t turn over responsibility,” said Lavinia Limón, the president and chief executive of the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, an agency that handles resettlement for the federal government. “It’s nothing like the Canadian model.”
(The United States, with its far larger population, takes in many more refugees than Canada, though Canada has resettled more from the Syrian crisis.)
How are refugees resettled in the United States?
The president determines the number of refugees accepted each year in consultation with Congress, which appropriates the funds, and the government contracts with nine agencies, six of which are faith-based, to resettle them. Refugees are given federal money to learn English and pay for essentials, and they are expected to start working in the first couple of months.
Financial help and volunteer work from citizens and charitable organizations are important, too, because “the government funding isn’t really enough to do this right,” said Melanie Nezer, the chairwoman of Refugee Council USA, the coordinating body for agencies that handle resettlement."

Muslim refugees should be settled in Muslim countries.

To be a good Muslim is to be like Muhammad.

Not all Muslims are terrorist, but Muhammad was.

Just ask yourself what all the do-gooders are calling any German (or anyone else for that matter) who objects to Europe or America being overrun by Third Worlders.

Nazis.

When Germany wanted “cheap labor” they could get this much easier and with much less trouble from the rest of Europe, where unemployment is still high. (Besides, there is still considerable unemployment in Germany itself.)

But even if Germans act in the most blatant manner against their vital interests it is always a secret plan for world domination by those evil Nazis, yes?



America is for Americans. we are a multicultural society already. Take care of our own people.

Right by using taxpayers money.

You mean the US government pays churches and other non-government organizations to sponsor refugees. It's a scam, buying people off, creating conflicts of interests and wasting tax money to resettle these "refugees" in our neighborhoods.

Be careful bro. Some nutcase sitting in a cave in Afghanistan might declare a fatwa on you for defaming the big M!

Don't worry, I got your back.
