I'm curious why you refer to that as "normalcy". Was that kind of lifestyle really "normal" for the Arab world? Did people outside of major cities live like that? Were the major cities like that for a long period of

"Also, I'm currently in US and I don't feel my way of life is being destroyed by Muslim people." Given they constitute 1% of the population, would you expect to feel that way? Why would a visible 1% minority group openly

Most terrorist acts in the U.S. are committed by white people By death count? Even if this is so, there are vastly more white people in the US. What's important are the per capita numbers. and the people pushing to make their religi

"Refugees are the people that will help your descendants a few generations down the line when the tides have turned." Or you could increase your own birth rates, so your descendants can help your other descendants.

Besides, the US really doesn't have much of a safety net, so even if I wanted to live "on the dole" here I don't really know how that's possible. Social security disability is certainly one way. Having children is

You said "If you collected statistics about Americans in the back of a squad car, you'd conclude that Americans are a bunch of criminals (shocker of shockers).". I'm challenging you on that. I think your statistics would

Are you saying that police officers, by virtue of the fact that they primarily interact with criminals, would conclude that people here on, say, student visas are a bunch of criminals?

The statement you responded to implies that cops and so on will speak negatively about illegal immigrants but will not speak negatively about (certain types of) legal immigrants. That doesn't mean none of those types of legal immigrant

>These will all be true regardless of the immigrants status and background. Are you seriously suggesting that immigrants of all backgrounds are equally likely to be beneficial to this country?

What should happen when there is a conflict between Europeans "bettering themselves" and economic migrants "bettering themselves"? Would you like to see Europeans roll over and ignore their own economic interests? Or do

Were you under the impression that wealthy people are supposed to follow the same rules as the commoner? I think that depends on who or what is doing the supposing. I certainly don't expect the wealthy will ever live by the same rule
