    I wouldn't want them in my backyard. I would work to find shelter for them nearby. I would not mind having Muslims in my neighborhood - I think there are some already.

    Amen! The man that He said that to had an issue with his possessions and power.

    Fairly comfortable in terms of material possessions, but not nearly as good as most.

    Not really. You can get a cheap Windows notebook for a couple hundred dollars.

    Jesus has not told me to sell everything I own, but everything I own is available for the purpose of serving Jesus. I am a disciple of Jesus, and I minister to Muslims in person (yes, there are Muslims in Fort Worth), and I financially support those who minister to Muslims in the trouble spots of the Middle East.

    I do.

    Hasn't happened yet. Hasn't happened to my friends who serve in those trouble spots. One day one of them may be killed - or even I might be killed - but, so what? We are called to be obedient even unto death. Death holds no power over me.

    Hank, please. You are more intelligent than you questions indicate.

    If you mean that I know your answer, then yes.

    None are acceptable.

    If not...
    Then answer my questions and enlighten me.

    I gently suggest you go to Europe and report to us from first hand knowledge. I have contact with many European friends, from the UK to eastern Russia. They report none of the things you suggest. I have had more than one friend ask, "Why are you Americans so afraid?" It is a good question.

    Stop reading just the extreme right. Get a balanced view from. Reading from the right to the middle to the left. Otherwise you are only parroting others who have a definiate axe to grind.

    I do mean it. You are too intelligent to ask such silly questions. I expect them from some on the BB, but not you.

    One such event is too many.

    Hahahahaha, you literally quoted my links to CNN and Wikipedia. Both are left leaning. You have your head buried in sand my friend. To make the claim there are no problems with Muslims in Europe is comical. Countries are leaving the European Union (British) and wanting to build fences (Hungary and more) Social systems are over taxed. Also I included a 60 min. Crew getting ran over and beat for being in a Muslim area. I also included a video of the French muslims beating native French for walking into muslim areas. A customer of mine is French, and she was like, that's all a lie. Yet even the French police have said it and there are videos on the net about it. You can pretend all is well but introducing large amounts of low skilled Muslims help no one. Remer all the French riots? Burning areas of town down....so peaceful and no problems!

    That is probably because the mass refugee invasion did not start until 2014.

    Then let's nip it in the bud.

    It's a military law - Preemptive/Preventative war (which is almost always defined incorrectly).

    I live right on the Mexican border. Our county is 91% Hispanic. As far as I can tell nobody stayed home from work today. All commercial enterprises are fully manned.

    Why would anyone be against immigration? I am against illegal immigration and unvetted immigrants.

    Wish I could say the same for my area. Then again, CA is a different country.

    Funny, if they stayed home nothing happened or they made no noticeable impact.

    I encourage illegals to stay home too. Stay home in Mexico, or Guatemala, or Honduras, or Brazil, or wherever "home" is. :)

    Tried to order delivery from an Italian restaurant and they told me no deliveries tonight and they have a limited menu due to immigrant workers walking out. I told the guy that all of them should be fired. I decided to drive and pick it up. No, they aren't that important.

    This whole country came to a screeching halt, didn't it?
