WDavE 332 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Let me guess at this point. If one of you Muslim family members or friends went radical. You for sure would turn them in to the government. Is that correct? I was in the military and part of the vetting process when the Cubans came ashore. Eglin AFB or Hurbert Field.We had no idea who they were or where they were from. Alot of them lied to the point, we would play a game as to who could catch the most lies during my their next interview. The only part of this executive order that I would have changed was travelers with green cards already. But I would have at least interviewed them.

AUUSN 823 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 The businessman-president is supposed to be, above all else, competent. There was none of that evident in the terrible implementation of the president’s executive order banning entry into the U.S. of not just refugees but visa holders and legal permanent residents from seven Islamic world nations. The merits of this policy are dubious even to those Americans who believe in an abundance of caution when it comes to preventing potential terrorists from infiltrating the United States. Merits aside, the implementation of this policy was stunningly inept. The order banning even longtime residents from seven suspect countries in the Middle East and North Africa was signed on a Friday evening without forewarning. The local authorities and agencies tasked with implementing this sweeping policy were given little guidance from the White House and, as such, were forced to improvise. The result was utter chaos. https://www.commentarymagazine.com/politics-ideas/a-disastrous-day-donald-trump/amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says "Delight yourself in the Lord;and he will give you the desires of your heart." As far as the Quuran, all I need is the one verse saying kill the infidels. That is exactly what the Sharia Muslims believe and surely you have plenty evidence of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The meaning of that passage is pretty clear in context. Only under certain conditions. If they oppress and if they fight Muslims first. Other than that, Muslims are to incline towards them in peace. Actually, in the Quran says you should even help your enemies if they come at you in peace. Many sentences from the Quran can be found and taken as if they were advocating violence, but in reality you should read the entire chapters (not only short passages taken out of context) because before or after a sentence that says anything about violence, come these specific conditions.

AUDub 11,175 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 And none of this is to say I don't have some major problems with Islamic teaching, Proud. Let's just get our criticisms in order. And there are valid criticisms. The idea of the death penalty codified in Sharia Law for leaving the faith or poking fun at Islam (apostasy and heresy are nebulous terms and this is a controversial topic in Islam) is worrisome . This is of course, not followed everywhere, but when there is a preacher in London who runs Sharia courts, insisting that the death penalty is right, or that Pamella Gellar's "everyone draw Muhammad" event warranted death or that we need to kill all of the gays, then we need to be concerned. When you have other organizations looking up to him, there's very good reason to be very concerned. I also don't like blanket claims that Islam is a "religion of peace." It's not. It's like most other religions. The religion is in and of itself neither a religion of peace nor a religion of strife. It's all in the believers and the way in which they choose to interpret their holy texts. By and large is nothing wrong with Muslims, their agenda is the same as everyone else; to live peacefully and offer a good life for their children. The root cause of our recent issues are social deprivation, inequality and persecution, and the places where these extremists arise tend to be some poorest and most socially unstable places on earth. This wasn't so much an issue when the Islamic world was relatively stable. But when these relatively secular governments failed (or were overthrown, hint hint) fundamentalism took hold, state sponsored terrorism rose and here we are now.

Ben....I think we are in close agreement. I can't interpret the Quran as you attempt to do. I will accept that not all Muslims want to kill infidels. The problem is that many do and these are focused in the Sunnis that compose ISIS. They want to establish a Caliphate and impose Sharia law. They are vey patient people and are willing to infiltrate us and other countries over time to carry out their evil ambitions. That is why I support the extreme vetting being imposed by Trump. Like him, I am not supporting a ban on all Muslims, just trying to keep the radical Islamists out. I would note that Trump is still allowing 50,000 ME refugees this year. That's a lot more than Obama had planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
