Title: Refuges ?
Post by MnSpring on 11/16/15 at 13:03:24

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

Refuges.
Are many of them, ‘legitimate’, and truly want a better life?
   SURE.

Are their many, ‘Terrorists’, riding the back of, ‘legitimate’ refuges.
  ABSOLUTELY !

So, their is the problem.
One group says, all refuges are good, another group says all are bad.
In history, it has been proven, in several cases, BOTH Ways !
(Which had depended upon, where they came from, and why.)
So, what is learned from past, experience?  
What do we do today?

It it, spread the Fairy Dust and sing, and let everyone in ?
(One day you are eating Rocks & Twigs, 24 hours later,
you are watching Cable T/V, eating your fill of Pizza, and drinking Sugar Pop.)

Is it, rigorously, ’vet’, them ?
(Segregate, make sure they go though the demanding process, of becoming a Citizen)

Or, is it somewhere in-between ?

Does it make a difference if they are coming from a Country/Place, that had NO history of ANTAGONISM, to anybody. That was ravished by flood/fire/etc. That were disheveled in appearance, down trodden, dirty, and had only the tattered cloths on their backs. And were very happy for a piece of stale bread soaked in water.

Or, if they were  coming from a place that had a long history, of Terrorism, and were dressed in good cloths, caring knapsacks, wearing ear/finger rings, laughing smiling, and Demanding, their food, be a certain thing and prepared a certain way.

Would you treat, both groups the same way ?

So What do you think, is the Solution?

NOTE: This is a Opinion, not a, ‘my way or the hy-way’.

The Stockholm International Peace Institute is where I got my data. They seem to consider the US as the biggest arms exporter.
Wiki also, on various pages.

"The United States remains the leading arms exporter increasing sales by 23 percent, with the country’s share of the global arms trade at 31 percent. Ninety-four countries imported US made weaponry, with the Middle East accounting for 32 percent of the purchases."

"India, Saudi Arabia, China, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan have become the largest importers of weapons in 2010-2014, according to SIPRI."

Hovis, I was addressing the fact that the USA is in fact a PROXY for the Brits. Hiding the sins of the UK, with plausible deniability. The money is still funneled BACK to the crown.

Well let’s see.

 Colt, Remington, Winchester.
The Leading Firearms Manufactures in the US in the early 1800’s
(and others not so well known)
ONLY, sold their firearms to ‘One’ side,
in the US, ‘War Between the States”. ?

Oh, and the UK,   ONLY,  sold,  ‘Endfields’,
    (A, type/brand, of firearm)
to, ONLY,  one side?

Perhaps it time to get back to the topic:
Are their many, ‘Terrorists’, riding the back of, ‘legitimate’ refuges.

Why allow any able bodied 18-35 year old refuges into any country? let alone "millions displaced" - stay in your countries and fix it - some women  children families and such "running" for sure but doesn't look to be the majority. of course given how terrible the US is according to the mizzu students and notable politicians why would any want to come to US at all?

Look, our first obligation is to our families. Everything else falls in line behind. The question is not IF a few bad seeds will end up getting into the US if we let in 100,000 refugees, the question is HOW MANY will get in and can we trust the mechanisms currently in place to stop any attacks these guys might try.

Seeing that the parents of the Boston bomber fits the profile of potential refugees and we had no warning that attack was going to happen,  seems like the answer to that question is no.

War is hell. Innocents suffer. They already used the immigration crisis to slip across the border and attack so why would we presume they won't do the same here or are already planning attack now?

Except for the robbery, those things are accidents. And you could even argue that your being in the convenience store at the exact time the robbery is going down is an accident too. Letting potential terrorists into the country when we don't have to is not. It's just stupid.

About 12-15 years ago, a Great number of, Somalians were, 'Evacuated', to Minn.

In fact, (it IS a FACT), the Second highest population of Somalians, in the WORLD, are living in St. Paul Minn.   The Highest number are in the Country of Somalia.

On the local news, Now, it is reported, (SEVERAL TIMES by SEVERAL Stations), of ALL  the  Somali, people in the USA, Leaving to fight for the, 'COWARDLY  TERRORISTS",
1 in 4, come from MN.

Gee, 50 States, and MN is:   1 in 4 of, ALL, the rest of the States.

Yes, the,  Majority of, Somalians, 'here', are Not leaving for the land of, (rocks and sand),  because, they,  have discovered riches,  HERE, in 'exploiting'  the , 'Fairy Dust Sprinklers', (Greener Pastures).

While, the simple Majority, (or less than),  are, learning to live in this community.

Hello, is ANYONE LISTING ?

Let's bring,  MORE,  'TERRORISTS"  to the USA.
Let's,  EDUCATE them.
THEN, They can,  'GO BACK', and Use that  education, which, YOU  paid for, to do harm, to the Country, who  GAVE them everything !

Perhaps it is time, to have the,  Federal, Senators, and Representatives,  house the, 'refuges' from a country who has a very long history, of, Terrorism, in, THEIR  House !

YES,  Exactly !
Key words here are: " ... find work and shelter ..."  It's  been that way for 300+ years.

But, today, it is: 'Come here, get a free education, then, 'go home', and use that free education to, work to, to destroy, the people that gave you that free education'.

Sorry, terrible things happen ALL over this world, ALL the time.
We feel sorry for you, but,  YOU, have to deal with it,  
BECAUSE, we here, need to take care of our own first.

That ain't, 'hiding under the bed",  it's  just,  'Reality'.

There are 300 million plus guns in the US and only a very tiny, tiny fraction are ever used in crimes, yet you are so afraid, you torture yourself changing the definition of words in the 2nd Amendment, are willing to give government more control over even more of our lives, demand that I hand my security over to someone else's responsibility under all circumstances, would be willing to pass laws preventing me selling my property to another individual and on and on and on... there is no end to how far you would go to get rid of guns.........  all because you are afraid.

It is not a moral solution for the safety of our children  to bring and potentially dangerous terrorist and murderers.  we have no way to vet the refugees to see who is a killer and who is not  because the simple fact is, there are killers among them.

Kinda, is the end results of your "moral" decision sustainable without impinging on the rights of others?

I not sure how we even vet these refugees, which seems to be the question that needs to be addressed before we can even debate its merit.

I have a pretty good idea. Howcum we got so pissed off when Russia bombed Isis? Ohh, I know how it was sold. Russia bombed our good guys, fighting against Assad,, yeah,  but
Syria was ON THE LIST that Wesley Clark had.
Syria was on the list.



Read this, LOOK, realize that we ARE  involved in military action, in another country and the country was
On a list ,,
And the list is OLD
and the Reasons we are there?
Are THEY as old as the list?

Understand

Manufactured consent

Problem,reaction,solution

The decision to be involved in these wars was made at least , what, fourteen years ago?
But WHY are we there?
IF the Reason for being there is Newer than the list, doesn't that set off alarm bells in your head?
How could ANYONE have known that today's events would be happening?
Gee, just a little hard to explain,, innit?
Once the evidence is all inspected, what are the rational possibilities?
I see only one.

And a little something from the General
[ GEN. WESLEY CLARK ]
Well, in a way. But, you know, history doesn’t repeat itself exactly twice. What I did warn about when I testified in front of Congress in 2002 , I said if you want to worry about a state, it shouldn’t be Iraq, it should be Iran. But this government, our administration, wanted to worry about Iraq, not Iran.

I knew why, because I had been through the Pentagon right after 9/11. About ten days after 9/11, I went through the Pentagon and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz . I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff who used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in. He said, “Sir, you’ve got to come in and talk to me a second.” I said, “Well, you’re too busy.” He said, “No, no.” He says, “We’ve made the decision we’re going to war with Iraq.” This was on or about the 20th of September. I said, “We’re going to war with Iraq? Why?” He said, “I don’t know.” He said, “I guess they don’t know what else to do.” So I said, “Well, did they find some information connecting Saddam to al-Qaeda?” He said, “No, no.” He says, “There’s nothing new that way. They just made the decision to go to war with Iraq.” He said, “I guess it’s like we don’t know what to do about terrorists, but we’ve got a good military and we can take down governments.” And he said, “I guess if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail.”

A good seminarian, was climbing a tall hillside. As he reached the Snow line, he saw a Rattle Snake, that was cold, wounded, and hungry. As a good, kind, (abet naive), person that he was. He picked it up, took it down the hill, got it warm, fed it, fixed it’s wounds. Then the snake, promptly bit him.

He looked at the snake, and asked why?

The Rattle Snake, said: “ It’s what I do, I am a Rattle Snake”.

Once durning a fierce wind storm up here in the Pacific Northwest, a baby bald eagle fell from its nest, to the ground, it landed in a chicken coop. The eaglet parents were killed in this global warming event.
The hens decided to mother this little guy cuz it's what they do.
Well time went by and one day the coops OP/ED pecker was strutting across the coop telling everyone he is smarter than all the others....
When an acorn fell from a branch and hit him square atop his head.
He then started telling everyone to take cover as the sky was falling.
They all ran around like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to escape this disaster, that is all but the fledgling eagle.
He told the thingy he was wrong, that it was only an acorn.
This rooster didn't like being wrong and called him Huey.
The eagle said I am smarter than you and I can prove it,
As he took to flight and soared high into he air, grabbing an acorn from the tree to show everyone the truth...
Well thingy rooster didn't like this so he decided to form an alliance with the fox to get Huey.
He had to go to the foxes den and ink the deal. But it started to rain on his way back and it washed the bridge out. He was trapped by the rising water and started to scream for help....
The eagle heard him and went to see what was up. He was flying high overhead when the thingy rooster saw him and he pleaded for help. The eagle laughed at him and said if he was brave as him he could soar like an eagle, instead of being a chicken in the ground.
This is when the fox offered to swim him across. The chicken agreed, but the fox ate him mid stream.ghe eagle was laughing and did not see little red riding Hillary  :( :(exit the forest with all the guns she confiscated to protect the world from tyranny....
She saw this American symbol and thought it was laughing at her
So, she shot and killed it.

The moral of the story, you wanna guess before I tell you?

Circumstances may have been different. The mindset of the immigrants back then was to put yesterday behind them, BECOME an American, embracing the new home, embracing American ideals, ready to work, in a nation that embraced them and gave them opportunity to succeed , socially, economically and gave them the freedom to BE. Today, immigrants demand OUR society accommodate Their beliefs, and their holidays, so completely that Americans can't wear proamerican shirts on cinco de mayo...
Todays immigrants aren't all just escaping a war torn country. Some of them HATE America. And,
Syria was on a list, fourteen years ago. We had already decided to have some kinda conflict. Yet, the REASON for the Need for our being involved is nowhere near that old.
It almost seems like the problems that so demand OUR attention have been created.
We have defense contractors who literally live or die , depending on whether or not there is conflict that demands the use of those weapons. We sell weapons. And there are allegations that we have armed Isis. We certainly have failed to locate and crush them.

Does it not seem strange that this rag tag band has taken oilfields, and transport trucks, they're running millions of dollars worth of oil a month. They aren't supported by a nations tax dollars. They're fighting a war AND making money. They're GROWING in size, and wealth, while WE spend approximately what the next ten countries combined, steadily driving America deeper in debt.

Observed Reality conflicts with the propaganda.
What we are seeing is impossible.
We Have intelligence gathering resources and the capability to find the transactions.

Isis exists because someone Wants them to exist. Once again, we are being lied to.

I normally don't get into discussions about Politics - but I really do believe this issue is very serious, and we are helping the Muslims to take over the US.  Not all of them are coming here to blend in with our way of life, and the ones who are peaceful are not going to do anything to reign in the violent ones.

A German's View on Islam (the Silent Majority)

The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men -- PLATO
NONE ARE MORE HOPELESSLY ENSLAVED THAN THOSE WHO FALSELY BELIEVE THEY ARE FREE --J.W. von Goethe

Hard to argue with this:

A German's View on Islam - worth reading. This is one of the best explanations of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read. The author of this email is Dr. Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist.    A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German
people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.

'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the
return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come.'

'My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.'

'We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that
Islam is a religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims
just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.'
'The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history.
It is the fanatics who march.  It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically
slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are
gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is
the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the
fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.'


'The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the
'silent majority,' is cowed and  extraneous. Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China 's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.'

'The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a
warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way
across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the
systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by
sword, shovel, and bayonet. And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery? Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?

'History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all
our powers of reason, We often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: peace-loving Muslims Have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our Enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world Will have begun.'

'Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.'
'Now Islamic prayers have been introduced in Toronto and other public schools in Ontario, and, yes, in  Ottawa,  too, while the Lord's Prayer was removed (due to being so offensive?). The  Islamic way may be peaceful for the time being in our country until the  fanatics move in.'


'In Australia, and indeed in many countries around the world, many of the most commonly consumed food items have the halal emblem on them. Just look at the back of some of the most popular chocolate bars, and at other food items in your local supermarket. Food on aircraft have the halal emblem just to appease the privileged minority who are now rapidly expanding within the nation's shores.'

'In the U.K, the Muslim communities refuse to integrate and there are now dozens of "no-go" zones within major cities across the country that the police force dare not  intrude upon. Sharia law prevails there, because the Muslim community in those areas refuse to acknowledge British law.'
'As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts - the fanatics who threaten our way of life.'


They are refugees....but they are also on a mission.

Exactly. The radical Islamists  keep telling us over and over exactly what they intend to do. I don't understand why so many folks refuse to believe them. Even if only one in every thousand of theses so called refugees is actually a Jihadist, that's one too many. The rest are complicit by their silence.

We are $ 18 Trillion in debt, an amount equal to $ 58,188.40 cent for every US Citizen.  When we are so far in debt, why is it a good idea to increase that debt by bringing in refugees that we need to feed, cloth, house, and educate?

Completely irrelevant to the current situation. There was no mass exodus of "refugees" from the middle east trying to go anywhere in 2001. And those guys were Saudis. The simplest way for a Saudi to come to this country was with a visa.

We can't properly ascertain that someone who applies for a visa from a country with a stable government and which is supposedly one of our allies, is not a terrorist, yet we are
supposed to believe that somehow our government can figure out if one of the Syrian refugees, with no documents, no help from what's left of the Syrian government, or possibly forged or stolen documents, might be someone who wishes us harm.

The simplest thing to do is simply to keep them out.

Inarguably logical.
These aren't even immigrants, in the sense of the word used during earlier times. Back when people came here for the opportunities to create a new life, to find work, in a growing and prosperous nation, a place where they could leave the poverty and oppression and lack of freedoms, maybe speech, maybe religion, whatever, America was the land of opportunity and they wanted to come here and Become an American. These people don't all want that, and, America is no longer that land of opportunity. How can it be? With massive unemployment, how do we justify that label?
And how many of these refugees Blame us for the turmoil they are fleeing?
I've said it many times.
Our economy is hanging by a thread,those who created the problems and harvested the labors of the people are doing their best to keep the game going until some events occur that they can use as an excuse to justify the economic collapse. They NEED social unrest, and whether the refugees actually blow things up and kill people or not,things Will blow up and people will die, and martial law, declared or not, will be enacted. Curfews, peace keepers, men with guns, keeping us safe, of course, first, in order to Really keep us safe, they must first take our guns,and the economy will crash, DUE, naturally, to the Ohh so unfortunate, but Necessary actions to return our disrupted society to calm and peaceful...
Farfetched? It can't happen here?

As Dave so clearly, logically pointed out.
This DOESN'T make sense.
When policy flies contrary to reason, there is always a reason.
Policy ALWAYS has a reason. You have a reason for what YOU do.
Do you really believe that there isn't a better place on Earth for these people? Do we, as a nation, already divided, need another group who will Not become Americans, and will not be economically self sufficient, while WE are struggling?

One thing I'm certain of, Texas history books have been rewritten so as to protect the feelings of certain people, particularly in the story of the Alamo.
Truth never changes. If the history books can Change in order to tell a story to be more palatable, they can be written so as to teach what is politically advantageous, in the first place.

In short, I trust history books as much as Fox news. At least, those dealing with relatively modern history. The Roman empire, Genghis Khan, stuff like that, probably as accurate as they know.
Pyramids?? Nope, don't believe that a pyramid that showed no sign of being entered , yet has no inscriptions, and no body, was a tomb.

The USA is in the top 10 richest nations.

I am going to say one more thing...then retreat back into the RSD and Cafe' where I feel more at home.

Christianity is a peaceful religion, and one that offers you the opportunity to worship GOD in the church and religion of your choice.  The Christians are supposed to spread the Gospel, and witness to others, and help the others to be saved from the wickedness and sin in the world.  If you are not a believer and choose to turn away - that is a choice you are free to make.

Islam is not a peaceful religion.  They are supposed to spread their religion all over the world, and is perfectly OK to lie and kill anyone that is not a believer.  Killing Christians is fine....you are not supposed to live in peace and harmony with your Christian neighbors.  They are raising and training their youth to be Suicide Bombers and Martyrs and to kill as many Christians as possible.

That is the basis to the strong Christian opposition of bringing Muslim refugees to this country.  It is not that Christians are not compassionate people - it is the fact that the Christian people don't want their children and grandchildren fighting a Holy War on US soil.

No refugees in '911', no refugees in 'Paris', but refugees might start a holy war on US soil.

Maybe if people took the time to look at Islam they would be aware that it is no more or less peaceful than Christianity.

But to see that, maybe you have to look at it from a non-Christian and non-Muslim perspective.

It's a waste of electrons to type in all the quotes from the Koran that show it to be peaceful, respectful and tolerant*, just as it is to type in the 'smight the unbelievers' parts of the Bible. And vice-versa.

(I'm sure I remember one of the forum members set out to read the Koran, a few months ago).

I can see why the USA doesn't want to take in Syrian refugees, but I don't think the USA can see the irony in the situation.....and that is where the danger lies.

I have seen people be wrong in this forum but you take the cake, my friend.

"You Ethiopians will also be slaughtered by my sword," says the LORD.  And the LORD will strike the lands of the north with his fist.
Zephaniah 2:12

   Stand in silence in the presence of the Sovereign LORD, for the awesome day of the LORD's judgment has come.  The LORD has prepared his people for a great slaughter and has chosen their executioners.  "On that day of judgment," says the LORD, "I will punish the leaders and princes of Judah and all those following pagan customs.  Yes, I will punish those who participate in pagan worship ceremonies, and those who steal and kill to fill their masters' homes with loot.
Zephaniah 1:7

Freedom to be Pagan?

Is any among you sick?  Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.  
James 5:14

No need for a doctor or science, just rely on prayer.

The descendants of Joseph attacked the town of Bethel, and the LORD was with them.  They sent spies to Bethel (formerly known as Luz), who confronted a man coming out of the city.  They said to him, "Show us a way into the city, and we will have mercy on you."  So he showed them a way in, and they killed everyone in the city except for this man and his family.  Later the man moved to the land of the Hittites, where he built a city.

Judges 1:21

Nothing like eradicating an entire city.

Then, with Micah's idols and his priest, the men of Dan came to the town of Laish, whose people were peaceful and secure.  They attacked and killed all the people and burned the town to the ground.  

Judges 18

Go up, my warriors, against the land of Merathaim and against the people of Pekod. Yes, march against Babylon, the land of rebels, a land that I will judge!  Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them, as I have commanded you," says the LORD.  "Let the battle cry be heard in the land, a shout of great destruction".  

Jeremiah 50

The majority of your quotes are from the Old Testament.  The Old Testament shows the wrath of God against sin; the New Testament shows the grace of God toward sinners.

I never said that Christians are never involved in battles or wars - or that a Christian Country and it leaders and politicians have never gone to war.  The Spanish Inquisition had very little to do with Christianity, and more to do with greed and power of people in high places.

As a Christian, I choose to live in peace....and that is how Jesus taught us to live our lives.  I do everything I can to avoid a fight - but I will also never intend to become a victim.

Their are about 270, basic religions in the world.
Their are several Thousand, variations.

For this discussion, will just use two,
and the, ‘books’, they go by.
The Bible and the Quran.

In Both those books, their are references to, ‘killing’ someone for some reason or another.
In Both those books, their are MANY, contradicting  statements.

YET,  How, many of those, ‘Religions’, are,
 STILL, Killing people, because they do NOT,
convert to, ’their’ Religion ?


I can Only think of, ONE !

Let’s see, if a ‘Fringe’ group, called themselves,  ‘Knights Templars’, or ‘Crusaders’.
(Which both went out late 1200’s or early 1300’s.)  700 YEARS  ago !
And, (today),  BEHEADED, people, in the name of that religion.
Do you think the, ‘Christens’, (that, ‘Fringe’ group associated with),
would, DO, something about them. ?????
(Not just give,  ‘LIP’ Service, but, DO, Something!)

Do you think if a, ‘fringe’, group, calling themselves the, "Avenging Angles”,
Cut OFF Peoples Heads,
The, Mormons, would,  DO, something about them ?
(Of course, the, ‘oral traditions’, of the Mormon, ‘Avenging Angles’,
was that they did NOT,  ‘CUT OFF HEADS’, of people that did not believe,
they only, ’Avenged’, wrong doing, among the people, who did, believe in that Religion.)

Gee, perhaps the, Muslims, who believe in Islam, need some, “Avenging Angles”.    LOLOL

Some, ‘religions’, Centuries ago, did Live Human sacrifices.
They continue this practice today, BUT TODAY USE, Efficacy’s, of the human/animal/etc.

But which,  ONE,  is  STILL,   ‘Cutting Off Heads’. ?

And, (outside of, ‘LIP’, service), are ’They’,  (the believers in that Religion),  doing Anything ??????
Do not see, ANY, evidence of it.

So, conclusions.
1.  The, Muslims, who follow the, Quran, are to terrified, of their OWN, kind, to do anything about it.
or
2. You never know, ‘when', a Rattlesnake will bite.
You only know, it, ‘ WILL'.
or
3.  Islam, is  NOT, a, ‘Religion’.

I am not trying to be vague, just want to understand the foundation of how we assign responsibility.

Sure,   ‘Islam’, a ‘Religion,

The point is is,  Simply,    
The people, who ARE,  Believers, in a,  ‘Peaceful  Religion,

Are  NOT,   STANDING UP,    and, ’Taking Care of the’,
“COWARDLY   TERRORISTS’,

This is a comment to some article in Rolling Stone. Guys got the right idea. Treat muslims the same way liberals want to treat guns.

"We need sensible muslim control like a database of registered muslims, background checks for muslims, and a limited capacity of muslims. Nobody needs thirty muslims in their mosque. muslims should be designed to pray and not designed to maximize body count. We're not trying to take all the muslims away, but our children's safety is more important than some right enumerated by a dead white slaveholder. Only some crazy kook should oppose sensible muslim control."

But to cave to fear, fear of anything, then in reality you are surrendering your control to it.

If one was to conquer the threat of fear, one must remove the threat.
In our case, as humans, that would mean removing other humans.
We would have to extend this remedy till no other human existed, except self.

This world is set on destroying itself, it is foretold, and we can't stop it.
It will get ugly, and it will cause grief and tear in the process.

Blind faith is what it will take to survive, and to be redeemed.
Of that I am sure, and yes, it sustains me, just as it has those who have gone before me and have shared the truth.
Non believers have no idea, or concept, of sustainability and rebirth, none. I can't expect them to understand, of what they are ignorant, but  that does not justify me and allow contempt to enter my heart...

Dear MnS,
If I have ever quoted figures that are wrong, tell me.
If you ever want me to provide a source for any quotes or stats, I can do that.
If I've ever insulted anyone's mother, paste in a link.
If I've ever complained or reported anyone/thing to a forum mod, then enlighten us all to it.
If I reply with 'nonsense quotes' I eagerly await hearing as to why they might be nonsense.


But in return, remember that failing to see the humour in the 'text from a girl' pic, and failing to see the message that it wants to get across to the world, doesn't give anyone the right to be insulting.

I really do believe that you don't 'get' that picture (I used it to emphasize, not prove my point)....it answers all the questions as to why a whole religion can't stop the terrorists, and in a clever and imaginative way.

Also in return, please consider that trolling is often saying something outrageous, then sitting back to watch the mayhem.
What have I done to merit the 'Troll' tag you gave me?
Or is it a 'device' to enable you to not respond when challenged on 'Somali numbers' or similar instances.

I'm not insulted by being called progressive, etc, (is that an insult?) I was referring to something much older. (think 'admin')

So please, why the grief?

For this discussion, will just use two,

The Bible and the Quran.

In Both those books, their are references to, ‘killing’ someone for some reason or another.
In Both those books, their are MANY, contradicting  statements.

YET,  How, many of those, ‘Religions’, are,
 STILL, Killing people, because they do NOT,
convert to, ’their’ Religion ?


I can Only think of, ONE !

Let’s see, if a ‘Fringe’ group, called themselves,  ‘Knights Templars’, or ‘Crusaders’.
(Which both went out late 1200’s or early 1300’s.)  700 YEARS  ago !
And, (today),  BEHEADED, people, in the name of that religion.
Do you think the, ‘Christens’, (that, ‘Fringe’ group associated with),
would, DO, something about them. ?????
(Not just give,  ‘LIP’ Service, but, DO, Something!)

Do you think if a, ‘fringe’, group, calling themselves the, "Avenging Angles”,
Cut OFF Peoples Heads,
The, Mormons, would,  DO, something about them ?
(Of course, the, ‘oral traditions’, of the Mormon, ‘Avenging Angles’,
was that they did NOT,  ‘CUT OFF HEADS’, of people that did not believe,
they only, ’Avenged’, wrong doing, among the people, who did, believe in that Religion.)

Gee, perhaps the, Muslims, who believe in Islam, need some, “Avenging Angles”.    LOLOL

Some, ‘religions’, Centuries ago, did Live Human sacrifices.
They continue this practice today, BUT TODAY USE, Efficacy’s, of the human/animal/etc.

But which,  ONE,  is  STILL,   ‘Cutting Off Heads’. ?

And, (outside of, ‘LIP’, service), are ’They’,  (the believers in that Religion),  doing Anything ??????
[b]Do not see, ANY, evidence of it.
[/b]

So, conclusions.
1.  The, Muslims, who follow the, Quran, are to terrified, of their OWN, kind, to do anything about it.
or
2. You never know, ‘when', a Rattlesnake will bite.
You only know, it, ‘ WILL'.
or
3.  Islam, is  NOT, a, ‘Religion’.


I would like to challenge the above statements with a little history; not opinion, not hearsay but HISTORY.

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta, officially the "Sovereign Military Hospitallier Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta", still exists today.
Their headquarters is in Rome, a few km from my office. They survived and repelled all Turkish, Saracen and Arab attacks but could not repel Napoleon's Navy in 1798. It was then transferred to the UK in 1814, regardless International Law demanded the Knights of Malta be acknowledged their rightful possessions.

YOU ARE WRONG HERE - AGAIN
IRAQ is fighting ISIS - anthough the best and battle-hardened senior Officers were fired from the New Iraqi Army thanks to US influence in the Iraqi Government, so they went off to the other side - purely out of spite and for revenge.
IRAN is fighting ISIS - although the US call this an aggression into Iraqi Territory, even though Iranians and Iraqis are actually fighting side by side !
SYRIA is fighting ISIS - although it is in the US Cabinet's Book of Planned Invasions that after Iraq comes Syrian, then Iran, hence your smear campaign of Pres.Assad.

WHO, on the other hand, IS FUNDING ISIS ?
::) Hmmm... let's see...  ::)
Saudi Arabia is funding ISIS... and when Yemen objected to ISIS, Saudi Arabia invaded Yemen.
Kuwait is funding ISIS...
The United Arab Emirates are finding ISIS...
Bahrein is funding ISIS...
Take notice, ALL OPEC Countries which must send their tankers through the SUEZ Canal.
But Syria is NOT OPEC, so if it became an OPEC-controlled Colony...  :D no more SUEZ !
Oh, and... there's one more Nation funding ISIS... but I'll let Sen. John McCain explain that to you.

As for cutting off heads etc. ... look up the pliight of the Australian Aborigenes and how the CHRISTIAN Clergy would organize mass abductions of Aborigene children from their families in order to destry and annihilate Aborigene Culture and Religion.

Nobody's without sin, MnSpring. Don't even think of picking up that stone...

PS: as for "Islam is not a Religion"...

Please define "Religion".
By Christian Theological standards, a Religion needs:
- a Revelation,
- a Prophet who received the Revelation,
- a Book where the Holy Words of revelation were written down,
- a Clergy which is trained and academically educated in specific Institutes,
- a Clerical Hierarchy,
- a (number of) Houses of Prayer.

By these standards, among Christians: Catholics, Orthodox, Lutherans, Anglicans are acknowledged Confessions of a Religion;
Baptists, Evangelicals etc. are NOT a religion because they lack a clerical organization ("elders" NOT being clergy) and specific education (Theology in College is NOT Theology in a Seminar)

Islam, be it Sunni, Shi'ite or Ba'ha, are a Religion.

Shinto is a Religion.

Buddhism is NOT a Religion because the Gautama Siddhartha was NOT a Prophet, he did NOT receive a revelation but meditated his way to Nirvana (Enlightenment)

As for Mormonism - I do not know whether it qualifies as a Religion because I am not informed on its Clerical orcganization (and I will NOT pore over Wikipedia to find out, I simply do not care)
BUT MORMONISM IS CERTAINLY NOT A FORM OF CHRISTIANITY !!!  >:(

Folks...obviously we enjoy bickering over details and arguing POV, why....
Gee, I ain't gonna even guess.
I just want to point out one observation, please

When we formulate our opines on secondhand or gathered elsewhere ( that includes research base data ) information, and forge our own opinion based on that, you should really assign it heresy, for in reality, that is all it is.
Human nature has a commonality, regardless of culture, the primitive and basic 3, which are foremost, are, we all seek/need shelter, food, and companionship, or love.
The first two are pretty easy to discern success, the third, ah, not so....
And of the three, this need is prolly the greatest, for within its confines is propagation, spilled over into other sub-feelings with societal implications dictating its influences.
And too, this leads to transmission, or dissemination, of ourselves, which, can be in conflict with others, because society/beliefs have put a condition on a basic need we all have, using it as a tool to leverage and manipulate humans.

The only escaping is to look inside one self and to extend what you find/need, to others, as in you must give, to receive.

A struggle for man cuz we have lost our own compassion (companionship) , yet, demand it of others.
It becomes a vicious cycle of laws, and political showmanship, that leads to only conflict and fragmentation of the human race.

No it is not.
And. ‘one lines, satirical responses’,

And, when posters ask, for a more detailed response.
(about that ‘one line/word’ response)
And it is given.     It is not Trolling.

I consider trolling, when a poster,
constantly, throws out a comment,
which has, absolutely, nothing to do, with the, ’thread’.
and when asked Several times, by Several people,
to explain that comment.  No ‘explanation’ is forthcoming.
That, is a much different story.

Also, it is, very, apparent, some people,
read things, they, ‘want’ to hear.
Not read things that were, ‘said’.

On the Subject of accepting mass Quantities,
of, ‘refugees’, which are not ‘vetted’ in any way.
I, Very Sincerely, hope I am wrong.
About a number of them, Taking, this or that, for Free.
Then in the future, USE that training, knowledge, education, tools, Against US.
I, really, hope I am wrong.  

Now before someone gets their, ‘panties’, in a bunch.
Their is Quite a difference, between a, Immigrant, and a  Refugee.
And their, Vastly different, ’types’ of Refugees.
( Gee, are people, with ‘black’ skin,  ALL,  the Same ?)
And a refugee, from 30 -70 -150 + years ago,
is the,  SAME,  as one today?

If you go back, and keep going back, Just about everybody,
is a Immigrant, as to the place they are living now.
Just look  at the people called, Native American Indians.
A well believed, Theory, is they are decedents, of Aztec & Mayan, people, that migrated North.

And again, as to, Muslim based Countries.
Still don’t see any, useful forces of them, working to eradicating the problem.
It’s all ‘lip’, service.

And of course, all,
(the people that, ‘want’, this ‘flood’, of people,
who have a very long ‘history’ of Terrorism).
Are ALL, saying,   “In YOUR Back Yard,  Not  Mine”.

Oh, and one more thing.
Next time I am traveling in several Countries in Europe,
(On a very tight budget)
I will also budget to, make, sure, I stop,
each time I cross a border,
and find a store, and then purchase,
the, ‘appropriate.’ clothing, for that country.

O, Wait, how about a ‘Baseball Cap, and Tennis shoes’.   ;D

Like I said before, just because someone doesn't 'get' the connection in a post, or it just plainly goes right over their head, doesn't mean it has 'absolutely nothing to do with the thread'.
Everything I've posted has been relevant (as far as I remember), but post a link to something I've said that you don't see the relevance of, (different opinions aside).

MnS, if you use a 'spell-check' when you write, the words will be spelt right, but they are often different words (words that the 'spell-check' thinks that you mean).

That, my friend, is posting stuff that is completely irrelevant.
But please continue, I always enjoy your posts.

Did you notice that the title of this threads says "refuges" which is a correct spelling, but "refuges" are not the people fleeing Syria, etc.
A 'refugee' can be a person fleeing Syria, etc.
