The fact is, the US, Germany and other countries have had Muslim immigrants for generations, and nothing "happened" to those societies until Bush Jr. started playing cowboy.

But, whatever.
because the Muslim population percentage was minuscule, it has only exploded in the last 15 years.

I would say you're either lying or beyond naive if you don't have any such thoughts on any level if you were involved or at least try to put yourself into the position of others in these situations like what these poor people endured in CA. It's called deep reptilian brain survival/thought process....if you were running away from a lion living in a cave and saw a family member get eaten by one but you escaped, you don't go out back in the wild with open arms towards lions. If you do, Darwinism will more than likely come into play.

Just saying, don't make a claim like that and then back pedal by claiming it's semantics. It just sounds propaganda-ish.

I definitely don't have to go back 1000 years either. Christianity being used for wicked purposes still happens to this day. Just try being publicly gay in Uganda or Jamaica, both predominantly Christian countries.

I'm not saying they're worse than Muslim countries, just that it's not as black and white as 'Christians good , Muslims BAD '.

but it is fair to say Islam is the most violent and oppressive than any other religion in the world - today.

I don't disagree with what you're saying. His remark just specifically came off as a low blow, using yesterday's victims themselves as pawn in his 'argument'.

so do cannibals in the Amazon.

Ugandans and Jamaicans do not have worldwide terrorist militias like Muslims do.

Honestly, I think the world would be much better off if all religion (including but not limited to Christianity and Islam) was kept strictly a private and personal matter, like ones sex life.

To me, religion is a theory of what happens to us when we die. What does anyone else have to do with someone's own afterlife?

We do all share a planet together, so why not just cope with that efficiently using tangible reality and logic. People can pray in private (including religious buildings of worship) by themselves or with others who may share their beliefs.

Being vocal about religion wouldn't be illegal, but perhaps it could just be mutually agreed to be frowned upon. Similar to discussing ones sex life.

This is just a fantasy, there's no way this will ever happen. Lol.

Lets give them Syria, since Obama wants all the Syrians over here.
