Why can't we just say religion, in a radical nature, is to blame.

Not just religion. Right-wing political radicals have killed more in the US since 9/11.

And the point was never as simplistic as "they don't condemn terrorism", but that they have incompatible cultural values on a wide range of issues ranging from free speech, women's rights, due process, the rule of law, etc, and they tend to resist assimilation.

You just described right-wing wackos, too.

Persian culture hasn't mixed with American consumerism well. Most of my people in the US are shamefully concerned with money and appearances. Like I said, I'm not a fan of Persian women at all

Isn't that proving his point?

Seriously though, we're going to have fucked up people in America. We should try to fix the problem. How the fuck does that make it a rational policy to let more fucked up people in? I'm not gonna lie, I don't see how massive immigration is anything other than a way to diminish the economic value of the average American. But assuming we need a continuously growing population for some fundamental principle of economics, why not let in argentines, Venezuelans, Vietnamese, spaniards, the Portuguese....

Why does this one group of people bear no responsibility for their actions and get unfettered access to the western world even as they REPEATEDLY demonstrate their hatred of us and our values? I wish one of you bleeding heart liberals were
A) a woman and
B) forced to live in ANY majority Muslim country.

After comparing that experience to your cultural relativist ideology, you'd change your tune in 30seconds.

Heard an interesting exchange with a moderate Muslim leader yesterday. He was ver polite and unequivocally sought to distance himself and his religion from terrorism. In every regard he seemed to be a good American citizen. He expressed the importance of loving one's country, serving one's country and expressing tolerance towards one another.

Not surprisingly, he supports sharia law. It is an integral part of Islamic tradition. He insists it has no place in non-majority Muslim nations, but should be applied as the prophet intended.

This is the crux of the problem. Words can be interpreted in a variety of ways, especially those written hundreds of years ago. It's not so bad if the original message was infact peaceful. You will have power hungry men seek to infiltrate the organization for their own gain, but when the original message is peaceful the words can only be twisted so far.

When the message originates with hate, then it can still be interpreted or construed benevolently as this gentleman has done, but it is far simpler to accept at face value, giving rise to the problems the world faces with Islam.

The text is corrupt. As an organism, Islam boasts a far more robust defense than any other religion. Sharia proscribes death for apostasy, so their is no abandoning the faith. Sharia does allow exemption for non-Muslims, if requisite fines/taxes are satisfied, funneling wealth from non-adherents to the church.

When even the most upstanding of Muslims support Sharia, cultures who embrace Islam embrace their demise.

Last line summed that up well.

Very well put.

It is a symptom of contemporary progressive liberalism afflicting the US. The tenets of which are:

Victimization is Noble - He who has suffered at the hands of another is courageous and incapable of wrongdoing. He has transcended morality and due unto him is praises.
Failure is Virtuous - He who has failed has only failed to the gain of he who has won and unto him who has failed is granted impunity for retribution against the victor.
Criticism is Hateful - He who accepts and does so without question shall be accepted without question. He who questions harbors malignancy of disapproval in his heart and shall be silenced by the lecherous hand of perverted justice. He has demonstrated his contempt for his fellow man and indubitably luxuriates in his own success and forgiveness is not for him.

It is ruthless faith of intolerance and the bane of every reasoned man.
