There are around 1000 Muslims on the NYC PD, many of them war veterans yet people continue to spout this irrational paranoia.

Let's not be disingenuous. this same thing happened with the Japanese -now you cant stay out of their restaurants- What i said about all those famous people- there might be new famous new talents in the new refugees-- you don't know that there aren't any - the refugees of Cuba were running for office! Many refugees have become excellent Americans- JUST so happens this era --they are the Muslims= when you old be the Martians?

Fertility rates in Muslim-majority countries are closely related to women’s education levels. In the eight Muslim-majority countries where girls generally
receive the fewest years of schooling, the average fertility rate (5.0 children per woman) is more than double the average rate (2.3 children per woman)
in the nine Muslim-majority countries where girls generally receive the most years of schooling.
The Future of the Global Muslim Population

Tacticaily-speaking, I've never understood "All are bad" as rules of engagement.

The numbers aren't good.

The world’s Muslim population is expected to increase by about 35% in the next 20 years, rising from 1.6 billion in 2010 to 2.2 billion by 2030,
according to new population projections by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life.

This is your definition of a muslim apologist. I don't follow you here. If someone calls you a bigot then maybe you are a bigot. Have you thought about that? IDK, so I am not calling you anything but to associate a person calling another person out for their bigotry as an apologist for the target of said bigotry is nonsense. If you are 65+ in age or know anything about the history of the US, you may or know those that called people "n*gger lovers" when they told you that blacks should have equal rights, yes? I think this is pretty similar to what you are doing. I don't care what you did or didn't do but I do think you need to make sure you understand what you are talking about before you expose yourself to those that may be a little more knowledgeable than yourself.

Hmm, I said as far as I can tell. I did not make a declarative statement on the subject.

Do they have to be able to walk out? What happens if they disappear? I need answers before I can honestly answer your question?

No not refugees but some may have been, anyway they turned out all right, so why are we worried about refugees who are primarily women and children coming to the US.


By the way those are the Muslim policemen that will be patroling Muslim neighborhoods under the Ted Cruz plan.

Already do.

Both of our rental properties have families that were refugees.

If you will recall, four American Catholic nuns were abducted, raped, executed and thrown in an unmarked grave in El Salvador in the 1980s presumably by Catholic members of a National Guard death squad. So, what conclusion are we to draw from that? That Catholicism is a dirty violent religion, or that the four nuns like their Indian co-religionist were caught in the middle of an internecine power struggle between waring factions?

Yeah that's too logical!
1980's? If you go back far enough you can find past conflict between who ever you like. This thread was about dealing with a threat that exists right now.
