    Fear means the terrorists win, but sticking your head in the sand and pretending that Islam isn't a global problem is just silly. Putting it in the same bracket as other religions is ignorant.

    The only terrorist attack on North American soil this year was committed by a white Christian.

    Go on.

    The issue extends beyond America. Some of us don't want America going down the same fucktarded path as Europe. HTH. Obama, Merkel, Cameron, Hollande, lots of work ahead to clean up their incompetence.

    Quite the contrary. He seems to think he has all the answers, while those who have spent their lives dealing with the nuances and complexities of shit like this just collectively have their thumbs up their asses.

    He also knows more about ISIS than the generals do.

    Isis (/ˈaɪsɪs/; Ancient Greek: Ἶσις IPA: [îː.sis]; original Egyptian pronunciation more likely "Aset" or "Iset"[1]) is a goddess from the polytheistic pantheon of Egypt. She was first worshiped in ancient Egyptian religion, and later her worship spread throughout the Roman Empire and the greater Greco-Roman world. Isis is still widely worshiped by many pagans today in diverse religious contexts; including a number of distinct pagan religions, the modern Goddess movement, and interfaith organizations such as the Fellowship of Isis.

    Isis was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the patroness of nature and magic. She was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans and the downtrodden, but she also listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats and rulers.[2] Isis is often depicted as the mother of Horus, the falcon-headed deity associated with king and kingship (although in some traditions Horus's mother was Hathor). Isis is also known as protector of the dead and goddess of children.

    The name Isis means "Throne".[3] Her headdress is a throne. As the personification of the throne, she was an important representation of the pharaoh's power. The pharaoh was depicted as her child, who sat on the throne she provided. Her cult was popular throughout Egypt, but her most important temples were at Behbeit El-Hagar in the Nile delta, and, beginning in the reign with Nectanebo I (380–362 BCE), on the island of Philae in Upper Egypt.

    In the typical form of her myth, Isis was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, goddess of the Sky, and she was born on the fourth intercalary day. She married her brother, Osiris, and she conceived Horus with him. Isis was instrumental in the resurrection of Osiris when he was murdered by Set. Using her magical skills, she restored his body to life after having gathered the body parts that had been strewn about the earth by Set.[4]

    This myth became very important during the Greco-Roman period. For example, it was believed that the Nile River flooded every year because of the tears of sorrow which Isis wept for Osiris. Osiris's death and rebirth was relived each year through rituals. The worship of Isis eventually spread throughout the Greco-Roman world, continuing until the suppression of paganism in the Christian era.[5] The popular motif of Isis suckling her son Horus, however, lived on in a Christianized context as the popular image of Mary suckling her infant son Jesus from the fifth century onward.[6]

    Or, the more likely scenario is that the vast majority of the Islamic immigrants live their lives in peace and assimilate, like the Turks in Germany did sixty years ago. To be sure, Europe has to do a better job of letting these immigrants feel they have are welcome and have a stake in the system. People who feel they have a stake in the system tend not to want to undermine it, and recent immigrants can be the staunchest supporters because they know firsthand what it's like elsewhere. It's still fair to ask "Yeah, well, why do we have to do that?" Because it's the civilized and humane thing to do to help people who need help. And because it makes good economic sense; Europe needs a labor force for its aging population. The US has a larger young labor force than Europe in part because of its immigrant population. So it makes good economic sense, in addition to being the Right Thing To Do.
    How about the rich muslim countries take them in where they fit and can kill their wives and daughters in peace without going to prison? Oh yeah they won't take them because they fear terrorist attacks as well. If your own kind who are well off won't take them it's a clue as to why we shouldn't.

    I don't think it's that simple. Irish and Italian immigrants were generally less well-off, so they stayed in the cities in poor conditions, stuck to themselves, and retained their Old World ways. There's still a Little Italy in New York, from what Spike Lee movies tell me. I hear some cities have Chinatowns and such, too. The German and Scandinavian immigrants were more likely to be better off, and thus more likely to leapfrog the entry-point cities and get to the hinterland of Minnesota and Wisconsin, etc. But even there they retained much of their customs and language for many decades after coming here. My grandmother was born in Michigan, but to her dying day in 2000 she spoke fluent Finnish, taught to her by her immigrant parents. There may actually be more of an outcry now about learning Engrish and assimilating, since the more recent waves have been from non-European areas and are seen as more threatening to the "American way of life," which most still associate with European history and culture.
    My grand parents immigrated from Italy. You are poorly informed. They came here worked hard and left the ghetto. Every ethnicity generally landed in a ghetto of sorts made up of their own kind. Irish, Jewish, Italian, Greek, Polish etc etc. They worked hard and tried to fit in. They learned english, became citizens and strove to fit in and be Americans. Their children went into the military, married Americans and they called themselves Americans. They didn't abandon their ethnicity but being an American always came first. They were not Italian-Americans they were Americans of Italian decent.

    The main difference is that they did not belong to a religion that demands they conquer the world and force it to convert or die. They didn't perform honor killings murdering their own children. They didn't rape inappropriately dressed women and blame the woman. They didn't stone people to death in the streets. They didn't want to establish their own laws and legal system and not be answerable to our laws and justice system.

    That many fail to see these differences is ridiculous.

    This. They need to keep their shitshow in their own conference. You don't see Pac 12 teams immigrating to the SEC and trying to force a system of basketball on grass on that conference.
