I’m not getting into what the US should or shouldn’t do in Somalia or Afghanistan to fight Jihadists in the war on “terror,” but this article in Foreign Policy has a couple of lines I want to respond to.
This is the paragraph:
No wonder U.S. officials fear that Somalia is becoming a major al Qaeda safe haven — with an ominous connection to the continental United States, home to many Somali refugees. Some of these U.S. citizens have gone back to fight for Islamist groups. And in the future, there is always the danger that other immigrants, radicalized by the U.S. attacks, will wage war directly on their adopted homeland.
I don’t believe for a minute that short of becoming a Muslim nation and adopting Sharia law, any of the radical Somalis and Afghanis are going to like us any better no matter what we do. In other words, varying degrees of ‘niceness’ will not diminish the numbers of radicals who wish us harm. It’s all about Islam and its dominance in the world, we are just the biggest obstacle in their way.
That is why we should be restricting Muslim immigration!
