According to research from both Gallup and Pew Research, Muslims in the United States are rapidly liberalizing and adopting a more secular view of government. For example: "in 2007 that 50 percent of U.S. Muslims favored taking a “literal” interpretation of the holy book, while 33 percent opposed doing so. By 2014, the literalists had dropped 8 points, and the non-literalists rose 10 points." This demonstrates how Republican policies are widely based in cultural and racial prejudice, not reality. The idea that Muslims are unassimilable is largely false, and the data shows liberalization even with increased immigration.
That's funny that you believe that, you are a product of sensationalist mass media. Between 1970 and 1990 there were considerably more deaths from terrorism in Western Europe than between 1990 and 2015. The level of terrorism in European countries is not related to numerical amounts of Muslims, but prejudice policy that denies them human rights.
So how, where and when they come to the country DO matter. Let's not pretend it doesn't matter. Bottom line, you don't want to import so many people of ANY backgrounds from war-torn countries.
Just what we need, 1000s of refugees with untreated post traumatic stress disorder. Nothing can go wrong with that

Exactly!
Feelings of hatred and revenge, and the desire of acting on that feeling of revenge, directly affects the peacemaking process. People get used to using violence to settle their disputes, and it is difficult to find a way to unlearn those behaviors. You end up with a warlord economy which is incredibly hard to break and which does lead to a constant renewal of conflict--as it will in these war torn countries.
Ok, so some Muslims are "liberalizing". The lib /proggs swoon. Still, liberal Mosques will burn, daughter of Muslims will be killed for being Westernized, liberal Imams as well, suicide attacks, shootings, knifings etc. While we give Muslim immigrants time to assimilate. What happened to the leftist mantra of "just one dead child is to many?"
Mmm hmm. I guess the murders and atrocities that happen in the time it takes Muslims to catch up to the 21st century is just a price we have to pay for multiculuralism.
Again, the study is on Muslims in the United States, not refugees.
Few have a problem with Muslims who are here.
Most Democrats I know don't want *refugees* allowed into the country.
Only the ignorant think it's the right thing to do. For who? Certainly not America or Americans.
The problems the UK have with Muslims will echo here in the US.
