It seems that a better answer is to halt Muslim immigration--

You got that right. Unfortunately we're trying hard to catch up to the Europeans' self-destruction. Some 70,000 to 100,000 muslims are allowed to legally, permanently immigrate to the USA every year.

Just as Christ admonished his disciples to evangelize the world...so too did the followers of Islam seek to convert others. Of course they did this for about a thousand years in a manner marketly different from the Apotle Paul and his group. Jihad literally means "struggle" rather than the popularized Holy War but they mean exactly the same thing when used as invective to agitate the masses into violence. From it's inception, Islam used extreme violence to spread across Africa. When the armies of Mohammed swept into those African Kingdoms with their polytheistic belief systems and said "convert or DIE" it was a pretty simple choice. Indeed, it was simple even to others all over the place. Islamic armies marched halfway across Spain.

The point I'm trying to make is that parroting the popular mantra that it's really a faith of "peace" and that it's been hijacked by extremists is a crock and has been thus since the beginning. The religion has insinuated itself into the very fabric of American life. In the text book I use when I teach world history...Islam occupies a total of FOUR chapters. Christianity and Hinduism and Buddhism and all the rest....take up a portion of one chapter...the same one for all of them. My peers who teach this are mostly liberals who embrace the tripe..but for those of us who know the reality, it's still very difficult to communicate that in a liberal school system without being immediately and terminally (to the career) being branded a racist. I usually deal with this by glossing over the four chapters and having lots of class discussions which leads the kids to form their own conclusions. Most of them get it right, but some don't.

Underrating this stuff is going to prove deadly unless we take action soon. This is the overriding threat to freedom in the world today. I am very much afraid that no matter what we do, no matter how well we negotiate, no matter what...this is going to come to a winner take all confrontation in a global sense. I could see this coming down to that "final" battle as foretold in the Bible.
