16 year old Michigander Muhammad Altantawi is accused of murdering his mother for being too American.

Allegedly, the father - who was not living with the mother, convicted of welfare fraud and domestic violence, and had a restraining order against him by the mother - would constantly berate the mother to his kids for being too American and young Muhammad also believed that his mother was too Americanized and was trying to "Americanize" him.

The kid will be charged as an adult.

His father should be arrested the dude clearly seems to be at least a potential Terrorist sympathizer. It is amazing that the kids is 100% Syrian, I know some middle easterners can and do pass for White but he looks completely European with no Arab admixture at all IMO.

That IS what Syrians look like. Syrians are caucasians. White. That kid is a prime example of the typical Syrian appearance.

Talk about being disrespectful there, you punk. I don't trust many Muslims but, Muhammad, you ARE an insult to Islam.

Agreed.

Arabs, Italians and Greeks are as "different" as Indian Mexicans and Indian Guatemalans if talking DNA.

Impossible. People who oppose Syrian refugees are racists, and you can't be racist against whites.

Racist is the wrong word. People who oppose Syrian refugees are bigots and bigots can be opposed and bigoted against anybody of any race or ethnicity, including their own race or ethnicity. Bigots are usually uneducated and very ignorant about facts.

I oppose Syrian immigrants in bulk but not specifically, largely because most of their country makes "Bubba the hood wearing wife beater from Philly or small town Mississippi look normal.

I would also oppose letting into the country 100,000 17th century catholics from Spain. (look it up)

Has nothing to do with race, gender, religion nor pigmentation but rather the fact that I've seen plenty of information suggesting that the average Syrian has some viewpoints towards women, gays, jews and many others that I personally oppose.

The irony that you would call people bigots for not wanting to let in......even worse bigots.....(on average) is palpable.

Now keep in mind, I'd gladly welcome Syrians that passed some sort of screening.

Look at it this way, If Yellowstone erupted and all of the US had to emigrate to <insert country name here>, who would seriously want a bunch of racist uneducated white folk with meth addiction that made their living illegally? Wouldn't your own country want to cherry pick the doctors and so forth?

But wait! If you opposed getting piles of refugees from Americans most uneducated and impoverished areas with dim views towards oh.....muslims....I guess that would make you a bigot? No, not really...but that's the argument you're making.
