One SARIN attack on the subway system here, and watching the New York Towers fall eight years ago, will do that to a country. Japanese learn from their and others mistakes, generally, and usually get it right the first time.
You know, I’m not a racist, but I have to tell you that Japan’s immigration statutes seem to be fairly sound to my way of thinking. I would think their Muslim exposure was fairly limited by them.
We here in the U.S. just don’t use common sense. People from all over the Middle-East are raised to hate the United States. The Muslim contingent is particularly suspect. I don’t actually fault them if they wish to think ill of the U.S., but don’t bring your hatred here. Stay in the nation that you like. If we’re not inhabiting your nation, then be thankful and leave us alone. Sadly, they won’t play by these rules.
For this reason I think it’s just plain suicidal to bring more Muslim people here. Until those people as a group decide it’s not an option to kill U.S. Citizens, don’t let them in.
I’m not even convinced it’s a good idea to bring people to the U.S. that don’t like Christians. Are we to become a Muslim nation? The signs of the tail wagging the dog are too numerous to ignore IMO. Even at the sparse numbers there are now comparatively, there is push back across the board. What happens as that percentage grows? It’s the same problem we have with other groups. They come here because of the greatness of our nation, then seek to turn it into the same hell-hole they escaped from.
What is wrong with us as a people, that we can’t comprehend this and take measures to avoid it?
Yes Japan does it right. It just boggles the mind that we can’t. That must change, or we are going to reap the whirlwind. Heck, we already are.
Thanks for mentioning what Japan’s policy is. We could learn a lot from it.
