How is it ignorant to not want people who want to kill us move into our countries? The fact that we allow so many Muslims to move to America as it is is really amazing and shows how open and tolerant we really are.
How many millions of Christians do Muslim countries open the countries up to?
QuietTruth:
Wasn't there like a survey done a lil while ago that showed crazy numbers of American Muslims who see nuthin' wrong with terrorism?
Not that I give a shit about anythang, but that's scary.

I was referring to this:
"A solid majority of Americans (63 percent) believe most Muslims in this country do not condone violence, and 40 percent tend to believe the Qur'an itself does not condone violence (28 percent feel it does). But 41 percent of Americans feel Muslim culture glorifies suicide.
Most Americans surveyed (52 percent) view Muslims who live here as more peaceable than those living outside the United States. (Only 7 percent think Muslims here are less peaceable.) Still, there is a high level of concern among Americans about Islamic radicals inside the United States. A majority of Americans report being either "somewhat" (38 percent) or "very worried" (16 percent) about radicals within the American Muslim community."
And like I said, it's not a surprise. Americans still believe there are WMDs in Iraq, they believe there was a link between al-Qaeda and Saddam, etc... so I'm not surprised to see this from the hicks.
As far as your response goes... I agree, this country does do a lot of good (but unfortunately does just as much bad)... and most Americans are good people... a lot of them are just too ignorant to know any better.

And by the way, I take these and most other poll numbers with a grain of salt.
