OPINION:
The terrorist bombings in Belgium and the terrorist attacks in New York, France, Germany, Spain, the U.K. and the U.S. are all indicative of the violent Islamic extremism now pervading the world. Muslim attacks on non-Muslims have proliferated in Europe over the years. Europe murdered 6 million Jews and now has 50 million Muslims. European countries should stop absorbing immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa and deport potential terrorists.
The U.S. should pay attention to the problems in Europe and keep out immigrants from countries that spawn terrorists. Some liberal religious organizations and individuals believe we should show compassion and open our borders to people from the Middle East and North Africa. Hopefully the courts will uphold President Trump’s ban on immigrants from the countries that spawn Islamic terrorists.
Previous immigrants entered the U.S. to build better lives for themselves, to assimilate and to contribute to our country. Conversely many of the immigrants from the Middle East do not want to assimilate, and some are prone to violence and choose to attack non-Muslims.
Existing potential terrorists must be ferreted out and pursued. Radical Muslim leaders in the U.S., such as Louis Farrakhan, should be under constant surveillance.
