No Judy, you're trying to declare a false victory by saying that I am changing the subject. This thread began with Doug singing: mamas don't let you babies grow up to be cowboys. I responded, no: Mamas don't let you babies grow up to be Muslims. Muslims, not ISIS terrorists. Muslims. Of course you know how every thread degrades in a short time. I never suggested this particular shooting would have been avoided by better vetting, Either you or Ann took it that way. That is where the subject began to change as I recall. I did mention vetting is poor and increased Islamic immigration without better vetting would be a mistake and quite possibly lead to even more or even worse incidents like this one in the future. Why compound the problem? This what I mean by playing loose with the facts.

Mike, you don't debate with integrity, and I'm getting really sick of it. These issues are tough enough when both sides are being as honest and fair as they possibly can be. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : You're making my original point for me Judy. The threat doesn't have to be ISIS or Al Qeda or any other Jihad organization although they;ll quickly take advantage of the situation. It's based on the fundamental teachings of Mohamed and the *holy* Koran and Haditha which advocates the stoning,beheading, tossing off of tall buildings, etc. of individuals that violate Islamic/Sharia law. These forms of punishment are common in a number of Islamic states to this day, chief among them, and setting the standard, Saudi Arabia and Iran. When Immigrants come from these regions, a high percentage prefer Sharia, to the laws of their host country. And while the majority will defer to the law of the land, it doesn't stop their desire or push to have their new country adopt the laws of the old. I don't know, maybe you're not paying attention to what is happening all over Western European nations that have brought in high numbers of Islamic immigrants and refugees. Since I've been *Xenophobic* and *Islamophobic*, let me add a little *Sexism* here, It just seems that some people have this fantasy that we can have our cake and eat it to. "We'll make them change to be what we want." Well, good luck with that. CALLING DR.PHIL! From: "authfriend@...

However, I have read he had become *radicalized* by a local fellow.Just because a guy comes here from Afghanistan in the eighties, doesn't mean he doesn't go back and forth at some point between both countries. I'll stick by my sources and it didn't come from Trump. Trump apparently uses the same unreliable sources. As far as his political views go, he seems to be all over the place. However, the Washington Post had reported that he has voiced support for his *Taliban brothers * in Waziristan on his Youtube station a few times. Because you have a source that says one thing doesn't disprove one thing that I've said. Can you acknowledge that the father's political activities for Afghanistan don't mean he shared ISIS' hatred of the U.S. or was into jihad against America? That's the point I'm making: He was into his own thing that wasn't a threat to this country and was strongly opposed to ISIS. He and his son were on two very different political tracks.

And you believe that? I don't think I said anything about believing it. The story is simply reporting what he said. Of course he's going to try to distance himself and Islam from those actions.His son has been investigated by the FBI twice and they had to let him go twice. He pledged allegiance to ISIS before his attack. ISIS encourages "lone wolf" jihadis to make a public announcement of their allegiance before taking action so ISIS can take credit. Pretty much pro forma. Doesn't mean this dude had any previous connections to ISIS or that ISIS directed the attack. Just because his father proclaimed himself a Revolutionary President doesn't mean he didn't run for Afghan president at one time. Oh, please, Mike. No, he didn't run for Afghan president. Trump got it wrong (surprise!). As I said, he came here in the early '80s. He appears to be something of a flake, but he's obviously preoccupied with what's happening in Afghanistan, and as I said, he's strongly opposed to the Islamic State. There's nothing in the VOA story to suggest he is against the U.S.--in fact, at one point he tried to get U.S. officials to work with him against ISIS in Afghanistan. From: "authfriend@...

If you think his parents should have been stopped back then, you'll need to discuss it with Ronald Reagan, who welcomed the Afghan war refugees. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...>
