We've still failed in many ways to integrate blacks, Chinese, and many other groups.

It's not about a threat to our security, but a threat to our culture. Making 15% of your country Muslim when over 50% of those Muslims support enacting Sharia law is problematic. You can see in that article that, after immigration by Muslims, the Dutch experienced their first two political assassinations since the Enlightenment: Muslims killing Dutch artists and cartoonists for religious reasons.



I never did this. Islam spans many different cultures, but it does have some core values that tend to be preserved across cultural lines.



You don't find the way they assemble their narrative disingenuous? They conveniently exclude 9/11. That's like me saying Smallpox isn't a dangerous virus because it has killed so few people since we cured it.

That said, I don't necessarily disagree. It's more about culture than the threat of terrorist violence.

Do you differentiate yourself from the anti-immigrant ranters of the past? Or do you just think they were right?
