With all the exceptions for the second amendment we make for the sake of safety, I'm sure we can make one for religion.

Really? Who has come to take your guns? Because I know I haven't had anyone ask for mine yet.

The constitution doesn't apply to these Muslims. They hate our freedoms, that is why they kill us. They don't like our freedoms - look how these Muslims treat women. These Muslims hate everything Obama and Clinton fight for, yet liberals defend them?

There's a reason some of the gulf states are refusing to take any immigrants. Imagine - parts of the ME refusing to take them yet you think we should because who cares who gets slaughtered as long as it's not you?

Why would you accept that from anyone? Freedoms stop at the line of abuse. Then we take your freedoms away. Period.
Exactly.

I think you're in a black/white mode of thought with no gray. That's like stating the obvious and saying "all men aren't rapists". Of course that's true. And the vast majority aren't. But there are more than a few who are. And if there's a particular group of men/an area where rapes are occurring much more than average than the general population, you call a duck and duck and monitor more carefully to prevent further rapes from occurring and take necessary actions. One's "freedom" ends when the freedom of others is threatened. The rest of "they want us to do this/that" is noise/nonsense. You react to reality and do things to cut the risk that could potentially cause great harm to a population.

"Yet".

Waiting until something happens to do something about it has never worked to prevent it from happening.

The nation-state as an organizing unit isn't particularly compatible with multiculturalism. The nation-state is state based on a nation, not many nations within a state. The nation-states that are often touted as the most functional, such as Denmark or Norway, are successful due to the fact that they are states comprised of a nation of people with similar cultural and political values.

Highly diverse countries such as a the United States share very few cultural and political values. The various regions of this country do not share very many cultural or political values anymore. With each election, that lack of shared values becomes more stark and apparent. The end result is a political system that barely functions and that no one is happy with.

Even after WWII, Germany did not rise up to be the powerhouse nation it is in Europe because it sought to be diverse. It became powerful because it recognized the value of a united Germany, not because every other culture was allowed to carve it up for their own purposes.
