Editor, Times-Union: Muslim immigration is a major issue in this presidential election. Ann Coulter’s column “Hashtag: We Are Neville Chamberlain” (Times-Union 3-25-16 Friday 4A) points out: “When people are killing in the name of their religion, it’s not an irrelevancy to refuse to keep admitting more practitioners of that religion.” Why do Muslims keep streaming into America and the Western world? Why can’t the “perfect religion” produce a society its own followers want to live in? Muslims don’t immigrate and assimilate. They colonize and proselytize. Even refugees from tyrannical Muslim leaders carry the jihadist mentality and vision of the world-wide caliphate with them. They not only want to drag their own failed system with them, they want to force it on us at taxpayers’ expense (Sullivancounty.com “Problem of Muslim Immigration Rise of Islamism.”) At least some liberals are catching on. At ForwardProgressive.com, Allen Clifton has written two articles on Islam that defy mindless liberal support of “the religion of peace,” aptly titled “I’m running out of ways to defend Islam” (1/8/16) and “I’m simply running out of ways to defend Islam” (7/17/15). It’s easy for Muslem leaders of even non-terrorist states to condemn terrorism while committing violations of human rights daily. Even non-terrorist Islamic states are hostile to freedoms we have in America. Why do liberals want more people with this anti-freedom mentality in our country? Both Allen Clifton and Cal Thomas agree we must not accept this violation as “the new normal.” (See “Must Terrorism Be the New Normal,” Times-Union 3-29-14 Tuesday 4A). Cal said, “There is still time to turn things around.” The website BareNakedIslam.com has petitions to “Help Stop/Limit Muslim immigration into your country.” I like their motto – “It isn’t Islamophobia when they really ARE trying to kill you.” William M.
