Well we're talking about Muslims in America and how we're at "war" w/ an overwhelmingly peaceful, law-abiding population b/c of what one guy did. I'm just trying to wrap my mind around the logic.

You need look no further than this post - Somali migrants and the insinuation of doing the unAmerican thing of stopping all Muslim immigrants

So with that logic:

Ahmad Rahimi (aka NJ/NY Bomber) - should we ban all Afghans from the USA ? Yes ? so how about ..
Dylan Roof - should be banish all SC white supremacists from the States ?
Seung Hui Cho (aka VA Tech shooter) - should we ban all South Koreans from the USA ?
Timothy McVeigh - bainsh NYers from the USA ?

Well you see where all this leads. BTW that was in order of the number of people they killed. There are others of course but some would apply a selective filter (bias) on who they consider a safe/real/whatever American.

We live in a free country and accept the dangers that this "freedom", including our 2nd amendment rights, bring to our lives so let's not pretend that we don't know who is really under attack with these posts.

100 or so Somali Americans have flown off to join Al Shabab and ISIS.

It's not just 1 guy.

Seems to me like there has been more than just one attack by an Islamic extremist....


Fort Hood, Texas, November 5, 2009. Major Nidal Malik Hasan shot up a military base in Fort Hood and murdered 14 people. Hasan was in contact with al-Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki prior to the attack and shouted "Allahu Akbar!" as he fired upon the soldiers on the Fort Hood base. After being sentenced to death, Hasan requested to join ISIS while on death row. It took six years for Obama to acknowledge the shooting as a terror attack instead of "workplace violence."

Boston, Massachusetts, April 15, 2013. Tamerlan and Dhozkar Tsarnaev set off two bombs at the 2013 Boston marathon, killing three and injuring over 260 people. The Tsarnaev brothers later shot and murdered Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier. The Tsarnaev brothers were self-radicalized through online jihadist propaganda and through a mosque with ties to al-Qaeda.

Moore, Oklahoma, September 24, 2014. Alton Nolen beheaded a woman, Colleen Huff, at a Vaughan Foods plant and stabbed and injured another person. While Nolen's motives are unclear, he appears to have been another radicalized Muslim who was obsessed with beheadings.

Queens, New York, October 23, 2014. Zale Thompson, another self-radicalized Muslim, injured two police officers with a hatchet before being shot dead by other cops. Thompson reportedly indoctrinated himself with ISIS, al-Qaeda and al-Shabab–a Somali jihadist terror group–websites and was a lone wolf attacker.

Brooklyn, New York, December 20, 2014. Ismaayil Brinsley shot and murdered two police officers execution-style and his Facebook page featured jihadist postings and had ties to a terror-linked mosque.

Garland, Texas, May 3, 2015. Two gunmen shot up the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, where a Mohammed cartoon contest was taking place, and were killed by a police officer. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack.

Chattanooga, Tennessee, July 16, 2015. Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez shot and killed four Marines and a sailor at a military base in Chattanooga and was believed to have been inspired by ISIS.

San Bernardino, California, December 14, 2015. Two radical Islamists, Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, shot and murdered 14 people and injured 22 others at an office holiday party.




And this is just the past 8 years. Oddly they are all affiliated with the same ideology....imagine that ?

We should stop 99% of immigration into the US regardless of origin.

ONE guy. Right. An overwhelmingly peaceful law abiding population? Is it April first already?

A Muslim in America is still a MUSLIM. Period.

Islam is an ideology
Somali a nationality
White a race

Jihadists come in all shapes and forms.
