There is no question that there are Islamic fundamentalists. And yet millions of Muslims have fled tyranny in their mother countries to Europe and N. America to seek a life of freedom. What about them? Send them a message that no one wants them anywhere?

It comes down to whether you think Islam can reform or not. If you think not, than what happens to them? Kill them all? Most? Forced conversion? Deportation? They can only change from within if they have support of their home communities. It’s a risk worth taking in my view. Either live the constitution or be a hypocrite.

“I want my kids to live in a free country.”
“You sure you’re not a terrorist?”

“I came here for freedom of religion.”
“If you build a mosque I will hold my breath until I turn blue.”

“I want my daughter to have an education.”
“I want the school to make her take off her headscarf.”

I do not want to engage in this conversation. It’s a stupid conversation.
