About 20 million visitors a year enter the United States under the Visa Waiver Program, which allows them to stay 90 days. It was started in 1986 to boost tourism and tighten the country's relationship with its closest allies. There is one Muslim Kingdom on the list. Should we move a nation from status that permits visitation without a visa to a total ban because of issues that they have little ore no conern about?
Brunei's population was 408,786 in July 2012. Brunei gained its independence from the United Kingdom on 1 January 1984. Islam is the official religion of Brunei, specifically that of the Sunni branch, as dictated by the Mudabh of Shafi'i. Two-thirds of the population, including the majority of Bruneian Malays and Bruneian Chinese, adhere to Islam. |

Very good post Both the Bible and Quran are very violent books Conservatives highlight the Quran violent passages and are silent on the Bible's violent passages Mankind would be better off if both books are ignored Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Products of their violent times.
To be fair, the whole Christian religion has been tamed by humanism. The upsides of the religious wars of the 17th and 18th centuries, was a radical reduction on the power of the churches, as well as the separation of church and state. Islam hasn't, quite, and it's more complicated due to the fact that Muhammad was a military conqueror as well as a religious leader.
Unquestionably. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

When people hijack airplanes and crash them into skyscrapers in the name of the Bible give me a call. The President is a fink. |

 Considering the number of popes, and the fact that 9% of the American Presidents were murdered, no pope has been assassinated with certainty for a 1000 years. ISIS would be insane to go after the pope. Of course, that comment may not mean anything. But it would be a global tragedy. |

No call but raping children was pretty much encouraged by the Church by not discouraging it. My point has been that these are extremists that don't represent Islam Now you have stated that Islam is not compatible with the West I disagree but I hope you don't support violence against Muslims in general due to Christian hate http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hate-crimes-against-muslims-have-tripled-since-attacks-in-paris-san-bernardino_567428bbe4b0b958f6564f3d Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Encouraged? No. Covering up actions by gay priests, yes.
Not a very reputable article. You cannot draw a conclusion about an increase in hate crimes over such a short period. I will always maintain islam is not compatible with western values, until the day I die I will maintain this. History is on my side. Meanwhile, Hobsons Choice for the media in reporting this little muslim hate crime! The President is a fink. |
