Even more stupid, is listening to Senator Ted Cruze (son of Mexican Immigrants), telling the president to only allow Christian Syrians into the US. ::)
What I understand is that the "concerns" go deep than just what happened in Paris. How is this different from what we've dome in the past i.e. bring in loads of undocumented people (refugees) from elsewhere? To think this doesn't have xenophobic underlying to it, is to think Santa is real
Sickening.....this bothers me more than refugees / immigrants from wherever.

Side note:
So the question...who exactly did the poll ask, it turns out there is no surprise there. Xenophobia at its...
Well....it's a reality of the world we live in; unfortunately we aren't created equal, and empathy most of the time is reserved for people whom others consider to be like them. The question has been asked...why aren't people in Beirut getting the same love?
You don't....regardless of where the refugees are coming from, empathy always gets in the way of stringent checks / rational thinking. This is the reason why some use refugee claims, as well as capital punishment as excuses to get into a certain country. There is no doubt something needs to...
Beginning to hate you say? Another reason am glad I never became part of it in the first place, and it looks like am not missing much.
Side Note: If France knew of the ISIS weapon depot and camps as claimed after their planes "bombed these sites", why didn't they do it before the Paris attacks?
@Tuan..you alluded to this in your post above.
This is interesting and I guess you can say the people have a point

You left out Russian, Bosnian and North American Muslims i.e. people born and bred in these countries and practice Islam. You are right about religion NOT being a race, and it's amazing to see some people refer to it as that.
So if Prof. Stephen says so, then it is right then? Wow.... what else has the Prof said about the state of the world today, or the recent police brutalities in the US? Let me guess, it's not on his radar
Good to know. As I mentioned before, I despise when people utter buffoonery comments that are so xenophobic even when they try to hide what they really mean. The same person that will make a comment like "these people come over here....", is the same one that will claim "I can't be a racist /...
Do you "oppose" it for every country / race/ culture that wishes to come here, or is it just a particular? I ask because you can see how this can come across if say you think it's OK for Ukranians, Bosnians, Americans (yes some claim asylum here), Polish to come to Canada.
It should be one rule...
I can easily say the same about you...takes one to know one right? NO...I refuse to be part of this "they", "these people", etc that has xenophobic undertones to it. It's like when you listen to racist people speak (I am White Anglican by the way), and they refer to non-Caucasians as "these...
Sorry for your loss....but just because I have listed my own personal tragedy, doesn't mean I do not know what it's like to lose loved ones. Criminal code or no criminal code. The guy that behead someone a few years back on a bus in this country....please tell me how that differs from what ISIS...
