As semimojo indicated these statments about Japan are false.

All in all it is true that Japan has overall strict immigration policies preventing uncontrolled third-world mass immigration and a strong local cultural identity that disfavors the creation of hostile parallel cultures.

However it is not true that Japan specifically bans muslim immigration or prohibits intermarriage. That’s utter nonsense.

As one particular example: since the 1980’s there are ten thousands of Iranians who came as guestworkers in Japan - many have stayed. Now it is businessmen and also students from various majority islamic countries that have a presence in Japan.

There also are mosques in Japan:

Regarding Arabic/Islamic studies:

Arabic Studies in Tokyo University of Foreign Studies:

There even is a Saudi-funded “Arabic Islamic Institute” in Tokyo: http://www.aii-t.org/e/

It certainly speaks in favor of Japan that their policies and societal strength virtually forces all immigrants to adapt to Japanese mainstream culture and not vice-versa. As a final information, let me however add the dependance of Japan upon oil imports from islamic countries:

Easy. Deport all Muslims, close all mosques.

How Do You Stop a Future Terrorist When the Only Evidence Is a Thought?

First, establish a short checklist.

Is the "person of interest" muslim? Yes/No

Has the "person of interest" expressed a public interest in committing acts of terror or otherwise doing harm to innocents? Yes/No

Depending on the results, remove the "person of interest" from the ability to carry out his evil plans. Quietly. How that happens, or by whom, doesn't matter much, as long as they don't find the body. Repeat as necessary until the problem resolves itself by migration back to whatever middle easter piss-hole from which they crawled.

Remember all the muslims that fled the US after 9/11?

[AndyTheBear]

If someone joins a club that tells everybody who joins it to terrorize and kill people outside the club until everybody is forced to submit to the club, and has a rule that people that try to quit the club are to be killed, and people that question the wisdom of the club are to be killed, and that people that merely pretend to be loyal to the club and are not utterly and truly committed are to be killed...if that person wants to immigrate to your country without renouncing the principles of his club in favor of decent civilized behavior, and you let him in, and he kills people....do not blame yourself for endangering lives of innocent people. Instead work your hardest to disarm the innocent people and to import more people from the club.

The KGB knew how. You make the consequences to him, his family, and his loved ones so draconian, immediate, and inevitable that the thought dies in his head before it ever reaches the state of execution.

It just depends on how serious you are about stopping terrorism.

[Little Ray]

Don’t let them in to your country in the first place. There should be no more of place for Islam in the West than there is for worshipers of the Aztec pantheon.

[TangibleDisgust]

the answer is profiling.

only the infantile thinkers on the left consider this an inhuman tactic in the war on terror.

it is the only rational way to protect the citizens from threats hiding amongst them.

who in their right mind at that secrurity company thought it was a good idea to hire and arm a muslim immigrant from afghanistan who had a history of making jihad friendly comments all the way back to 9/11?

he should have been profiled right out of that job. and the FBI who dropped the ball when they REPEATEDLY investigated him, bears partial responsibility for what happened.

[TangibleDisgust]

there is an idiom that most people here in the West don’t understand. it’s called “to the ninth degree” or “to the nth degree” and is used to mean “to a great extent or with extreme thoroughness”. it’s not uncommon to hear English speakers say this about one mundane thing or another.

the story of its origin is not generally known though:

How do you stop...? You don’t obviously. Instead you disarm his victims and give him free reign. Fundamental transformation.

[Gator113]

Japan has it right.

[SolidWood]

Except that the statements about Japan are not true.
