Considering he created isis and then sat on his hands while they started taking thousands of sex slaves, including children...Yea, may he burn in hell.
I am curious - where in your translation of the Scriptures does Jesus advocate that we wish our enemies to "burn in hell"?

By that standard, all whites need to be deported as well, because some of them commit criminal acts which disturb Europe's peace.

We cannot be disrespectful towards them in that manner. That flies in the face of the concept of democracy. Rather, what we can do is increase the level of authority control for Muslims, and rank them as higher in the scale of suspicion for terrorists. However, we cannot group all Muslims together and see them all as dangerous like that. Most are not. We need to do our best to filter out the bad ones, arrest them, and place them in jail. But we cannot deport all Muslims, because many are respectable, innocent human beings who have done no wrong and who condemn these attacks like we do.

There is a difference between Islam and Islamic fundamentalism. Not all Muslims are radicals like that. I personally know a Muslim person who condemns these attacks, like we do.

Be careful on how you select the words when talking about multiculturalism, because I would like you to clarify your position. Indeed, I agree that some cultures are better than others, but all are actually worthy of the same respect. All humans are human and possess the same human rights. We cannot discriminate them based on race, religion, gender or anything like that. Everyone deserves the same amount of honour, dignity and respect — unless anyone has committed an act that breaks anyone else's human rights (like carrying out a terrorist attack); if anyone every does anything like it, that person needs to be deprived of that respect, but not that person's entire race or religion.

As much as I love these sentiments, it isn't possible and might just be a short-term solution even if it took centuries to undertake successfully.

I think that, as violent as things are now, cool heads will prevail. The Middle East might open up to outside influences and eventually let missionaries in some of the countries--and when that happens we can begin our work. But for that to happen democracy has to prevail and freedom of thouht and conscience needs to exist--right now ISIS and various other regional conflicts are preventing that from happening.

That statistic talks about ‘Supporting Sharia’ — not necessarily supporting terrorist acts to kill Westerners.

There are 3 main types of Muslim. Jihadists (what we saw in Belgium), Islamists (Sharia supporters), and the Tolerable Muslims (anime & Oreo types with western values).

Neither jihadists nor islamists should be allowed into the west. Let them rot where they are.

So the target is the EU. I guess we are meant to get all hard hearted about Muslims fleeing from Salafist Jihaddi groups in Syria and Iraq etc a

Turkey was attacked by ISIS and secularist/Marxist Kurds, so it's not just the EU that ISIS is targeting nor is it just those referred to as salafi jihadis who are committing terrorist attacks.

Most Syrian refugees from Syria are fleeing Assad and his allies (Hezbollah, Russia, IRG, Shi'a militias from around the world, including from Iraq where they are terrorizing the Sunni population) and none of those can be considered salafi jihadis.

In any case, however, I agree with the principle of your post (about not being so cold to people fleeing unjust violence).

That's a serious problem in and of itself. The dangers of Islamic immigration go far beyond terrorism.

You may chose your way. I have chosen mine. I see this threat and i will work towards its resolution. I won´t allow that my families and friends security is sacrificed on the shrine of political correctness.

The fence in Idomeni is a first fire wall. But it is only part of the solution. Those who are respectable and innocent can blame their evil companions for their fate.

Turkey was attacked by ISIS and secularist/Marxist Kurds, so it's not just the EU that ISIS is targeting nor is it just those referred to as salafi jihadis who are committing terrorist attacks.

This attack was targeting the EU- Brussels is its administrative centre. The Paris attack also was targeting the EU in its largest continental city and on the occasion of a France-Germany football match. But despite the political context it is innocent people that have died. ISIS committed these murders deliberately

The attack in Ankara was a mistake by the Kurds. The PKK is not Marxist ( Democratic confederalist with a strong focus on equality for example for women is better). But NATO and the EU regards them as terrorists. Though sympathetic to the cause of Kurdish nationalism I do not agree with terrorism.

Most Syrian refugees from Syria are fleeing Assad and his allies (Hezbollah, Russia, IRG, Shi'a militias from around the world, including from Iraq where they are terrorizing the Sunni population) and none of those can be considered salafi jihadis.

Your a Sunni you do not like Shias and Hezbollah and many of the others are no better than the Sunni Salafists. Assad is the only one protecting Christians - none of the others seem remotely concerned about the genocide against them except perhaps the Kurds in Iraq.

In any case, however, I agree with the principle of your post (about not being so cold to people fleeing unjust violence).

Exactly

Think he regards Poland as the lost territories so he might not agree "invade" is the correct word?
