I agree with your idea of turning away any further Islamic immigrants. However, the analogy with returning Jews to Europe in WW2 is not apt. Those people were returned to certain death at the hands of the fascists. The Islamists trying to come over here will just be returned to their America-hating, Jew-hating brethren. They will not be in any danger whatsoever.

We're in agreement. I wasn't attempting to draw a parallel in their status; the Jews came here as refugees and were turned away (to a certain death). The arab immigrants aren't coming here to "escape" persecution. There are many lands that the arabs could "escape" to before they got to America. When the Jews came to America, Europe was in disarray.

My point was if our nation could turn people facing certain death away then we have no need to be letting people in this country who at best are seeking economic sanctuary and at worst to take over this country from within. The islamist way is not compatible with our constitution. Not all muslims are islamists. We've also got a global collective of anarchist-socialists who want to topple the government. What I don't understand is how the foreign aggitators are permitted travel visas to come to America to riot at WTO and political conventions.
