No, I would not want to move into Fuller park. And not because of the color of the skin or religion of the people that live there. But because of the crime rate. I have the ability to separate the two.

No, their fear has grown because of beheadings, suicide bombers and mass shootings. They would feel the same way towards Lutherans if they were the terrorists

Just as it is unfair to judge all Muslims by the jihadists, it is unfair to blame animus towards the terrorists on "discrimination and racism"---they reap what they sow

Muslims breed like rabbits so they can gradually take over cities. As far as fasting goes, don't be fooled. They fast all day then party all night.

I've heard walk like an Egyptian and party like it's 1999-----but party like a Muslim? I guess that's just about as racist as the rest of your post

My high school graduating class on Long Island totaled 99, and 2 of them died on 9/11/01, so I have no love for jihadists----note JIHADISTS, not MUSLIMS. But to judge all Muslims by ISIS is like judging Southern Baptists by the KKK or Roman Catholics by the Spanish Inquisition or all Cambodians by Pol Pot. And " breed like rabbits so they can gradually take over cities."????? Please replace your tin foil hat-----immediately!

After 75 posts, here's my take on this:

Is there anything wrong with a newspaper article on Islam?--------NO
Do you have to read the article?--------NO
Do you have to subscribe to the paper?----NO
Do you have to like jihadists?-----NO
Do you have to like Muslims-------NO
Do you have to like Methodists-----NO

Someone compared jihadists to homophobia in the 70's----It is NOT the same thing. I don't remember any gay activists beheading people, or blowing them into pieces just because they were heterosexual.

As far as immigration from Syria/Iraq/etc. goes----
If you are a farmer, do you let a fox into the henhouse? Even if there are 100 "vegetarian foxes" for every one that thinks your hens are finger-lickin' good, you don't let it in since you cannot tell the difference until AFTER the carnage has ensued.

So to all those that advocate open borders and letting unvetted refugees into the US, would you take 5 Muslim men in their 20's into your home to live with you and your grandchildren? If so, I applaud your devotion to your principles and wish you good luck with your new "friends", odds are that you will have no problem. But if you are unwilling to do so, please don't expect the rest of the country to take the gamble that you rejected.

Although it is obviously impossible to accurately predict a single seemingly random act occurring statistical analysis is valuable in predicting who it is likely to be so protective measures can be taken and an effective defense prepared.

The actual future of mankind hinges on successfully fighting this. Being overly PC is what the enemy wants from us.

My thoughts on this discussion are similar to my thoughts on the ongoing police brutality/shooting incidents

Are some cops bad? Yes, but that doesn't make all cops bad, which unfortunately is becoming a growing sentiment.

In this scenario, many here are labeling an entire religious group as terrorists. When an unbelievably small percentage are radicals, using the religion as a guise for world domination.

Yet I bet these same people are the ones lighting up blue lights in support of police. (Which I find nothing wrong with).

This is about much more than just fear.

The Barbary Coast pirates used cutlasses at that time. The Marines also used cutlasses. The firearms of those days were single shot pistols and rifles.

The leather collars were used as personal armor against cutlass wounds to the neck.

Leather Neck always sounded better than Gyrene or Jar Head.
