Somebody has to be the first to say it.
It's time, for the sake of the security of the United States of America, to immediately suspend Muslim immigration, to preclude Muslims from service in our military and to stop the building of mosques.
(The matters of Muslim military service and the building of mosques will need to be subjects of future columns.)
It should go without saying that I am speaking just for myself here. But these possibilities must be addressed and discussed in a sober fashion. The reality is that we will wind up doing these three things out of necessity if we do not do them out of wisdom. We need to make these adjustments before it's too late rather than after it's too late.
We should suspend Muslim immigration into the United States immediately. Why? Because Muslims bring with them a totalitarian ideology that calls for the submission of the United States to Islam and Sharia law.
Pew released its findings yesterday on its worldwide survey of Muslims, and revealed that two-thirds of Middle Eastern Muslims believe in the death penalty for any Muslim who converts to Christianity, and one-third believe in suicide bombings. This is not a religion of peace or liberty. Every tenet of Islam is fundamentally, irreversibly, subversively and implacably hostile to every value we cherish in America.
Muslim immigrants bring with them a totalitarian ideology whose holy book calls for the followers of Allah to "slay the idolaters wherever you find them" (Sura 9:5). The more devout a Muslim becomes, the more likely he is to obey such a command, as Tamerlan Tsarnaev illustrates, and the more of a threat he becomes to the security of the United States and the safety of the American people.
When I first began calling for an end to Muslim immigration in 2009, I was virtually a lone voice crying in the wilderness. But Andy McCarthy has since called for the suspension of immigration from Muslim majority nations, and Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy has called for precluding "shariah-adherent Muslims" from our shores, in a fashion similar to our post WWII ban on immigrants who adhered to communist ideology.
Since the Boston Muslim Massacre, Laura Ingraham has called for a ban on Muslim immigration, and more significantly, John McCain just yesterday suggested restrictions on immigration from countries with a "significant influence of radical Islamic extremism." Both Marco Rubio and Rand Paul have openly called for considering the suspension of student visas to Muslim males.
Suspending Muslim immigration to the United States is an idea whose time has come.
Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders, based on Europe's bitter experience with virtually unrestricted Muslim immigration, has been calling for this for years, and imploring America to wake up and smell the Sharia before we become we seal our doom.
Of course, the majority of Muslim immigrants do not want to kill us, but they are not the Muslims we have to worry about. The problem is we have no way of distinguishing the Muslims we do have to worry about from the ones we don't. And we can't watch them all.
Dzokhar Tsarnaev is a case in point. All of his friends and classmates said he was quiet, fun, one of us, and so forth. They all expressed shock that he went jihad on Americans. The only way to have prevented him from participating in the Boston Muslim Massacre would have been not to allow him in the country in the first place.
While this may seem unfair to Muslims who have no hostile intentions toward us, that is not our fault. The blame for such a blanket policy lies with the Muslims who do have hostile intentions toward us and have been responsible for no less than 55 terrorist attempts on our soil since 9/11. If friendly Muslims are looking for someone to blame for being unable to enter the U.S., that is where their finger should point.
Is banning Muslim immigration constitutional? Of course it is. No one has a right, constitutional or otherwise, to immigrate to the United States. In our system of government, immigration rules are the exclusive province of Congress. One of its express powers of action, as set forth in Article I, Section 8, is "To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization."
In Kleindienst v. Mandel (1972), (Mandel was a Marxist ideologue) the Supreme Court affirmed that "the power to exclude aliens is 'inherent in sovereignty, necessary for maintaining normal international relations and defending the country against foreign encroachments and dangers – a power to be exercised exclusively by the political branches of government' . . . .The Court without exception has sustained Congress' 'plenary power to make rules for the admission of aliens and to exclude those who possess those characteristics which Congress has forbidden'...[O]ver no conceivable subject is the legislative power of Congress more complete than it is over the admission of aliens'...The power of Congress to exclude aliens altogether from the United States, or to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which they may come to this country, and to have its declared policy in that regard enforced exclusively through executive officers, without judicial intervention, is settled by our previous adjudications." (Emphasis mine.)
Bottom line: Congress can ban Muslim immigration if it wants to. And it should.
I don’t have a problem with any of that, while we’re at it get the UN out of the US and send them no more money. No aid other than humanitasrian in emergency sitituations to muslim countries and drill our own oil and stop our dependence on muslim countries.
It's also time to search every mosque already here.
Tagline change.......
While your argument is well-stated, it’s also flawed in one key area:
‘Freedom of Religion’ does not apply to those faiths whose tenets allow them to harm others as part of their beliefs (i.e. human sacrifices, and in most cases, animal sacrifices).
Islam directly states in both the Koran and in many Hadith the fact that non-believers are to be killed or enslaved.
Any person with a shred of intelligence should be able to see that the religion of Islam is detrimental to a civilized, free society. It has NO place in the United States of America. Other countries can make up their own minds about it, but our Constitution cannot be construed to give protection to the wickedness of Islam. All it takes is someone with the balls (and the financial backing) to take it to task. And for the people of the nation to speak out against it.
Unfortunately, I don’t believe either of those ideas can or will happen.
marking for later
Actually, it applies just the same.
Do not mistake my statement on Freedom of Religion to guarantee adherents to muslim/islam to immigrate in order to practice the barbaric aspects of their religion HERE.
All we can do for the ones already here who want to be Johnny Jihad is to exercise our Right to self defense and swiftly send him to a place where he can learn the error of his ways.
Washington said it best;
The bosom of America is open to receive not only the Opulent and respectable Stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all Nations and Religions; whom we shall welcome to a participation of all our rights and privileges, if by decency and propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment.
George Washington , Address to the Members of the Volunteer Association of Ireland, December 2, 1783
By their conduct, nations with primarily muslim/islam populations have no business being allowed to immigrate to this country, IMHO.

Which I agree with, but that really wasn't my argument.
Nobody has the b*lls to admit it; but you are as spot on as it gets.
I’ll bite.
Jews, Catholics, and Protestants aren’t blowing people up in the name of God.
And by the way, your tagline suits you perfectly.
Islam is NOT a religion; it is a totalitarian political ideology MASKING as a religion in order to hide behind our First Amendment while conquering our country.
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Revelation 20:4
Who is known for beheading their enemies? Hmmm?
I posted this on the OFST earlier. Fits here too.
Texas Rancher uses Rattlesnake Logic for Bombing at Boston
** Now the news media will spend days trying to determine why these men did what they did in Boston. They will want to know what America did to make these brothers so angry with us. They will want to know why these men were not arrested before they did something unlawful. The media will be in a tizzy about the new era of home grown radicals (jihadist) and about how they could live among us and still hate us.
* Here in west Texas, I have rattlesnakes on my place. I have killed a rattlesnake on the front porch. I have killed a rattlesnake on the back porch. I have killed rattlesnakes in the barn, in the shop and on the driveway. I kill every rattlesnake I encounter. I kill rattlesnakes because a rattlesnake will bite me and inflict me with poison. I don’t stop to wonder why a rattlesnake will bite me. It will bite me because it is a rattlesnake and that is what rattlesnakes do. I don’t try to reason with a rattlesnake…I just kill it.
* I don’t try to get to know the rattlesnake better so that I can find a way to live with the rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me…I just kill them. I don’t quiz a rattlesnake to see it I can find out where the other snakes are because (a) it won’t tell me (b) I already know that they live on my place…I just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one. I don’t look for ways that I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a non poison rat snake. I just kill it.
* Oh, and on occasion I kill a rat snake, because I thought it was a rattlesnake at the time. Also, I know that for every rattlesnake that I kill, two more lurk out there. In my lifetime I will never be able to rid my place of rattlesnakes. Do I fear them? No! Do I respect what they can do to me? Yes! And because of that respect I give them their fair justice….I kill them.
* Maybe as a country we should give more credit to the jihadist just being a rattlesnake!
I am NOT arguing if islam is a religion. I am NOT arguing whether is is 'right' or 'wrong'. I am NOT arguing if anyone in their right mind would adhere to it.
I'm simply arguing the proper, legal and Constitutional method to keep them out of this country!
Anyone else wanting to nit pick verbiage and/or definitions instead of responding to the point asserted will receive no replies from me.
GEESH! Now I now why I almost never stop by here anymore. :-(
being aware of who wants to cut your throat is not hate. if you don’t want to pull your head out of your a$$ and try to understand the real world, stand in front so you are taken out first. allahu akbar
good analysis
