It’s rare, yes, and it doesn’t affect you or I, yes, I said this already. Also, as I said before, these statistics are likely very conservative, as families tend to hide this behavior.
So, we take mothers, children and the elderly, but leave the father, thus dividing the family? How is that not cruel in its own way?

Was that determined to be fueled by his Muslim beliefs?

You have not shown once that it is unfounded. You have dug your heels in and refuse to accept that people are scared. You’d rather call them xenophobes and racists. That’s much easier.

9/11, Santa Barbara, The Boston Marathon, etc. Not all the perpetrators were immigrants, but I specifically referenced homegrown terrorists in my earlier post. We are battling ideas here, more so than people, and all of these people had one thing in common. Unfortunately, we simply don’t know who harbors these ideas, so there is an understandable…[Read more]

Suddenly you’re not so good with google? https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/bjs/grants/248879.pdf
As this states, honor violence is usually kept under wraps by family members, so we really have no idea how much of this is actually occurring. I’m not trying to stoke fear, as this really doesn’t affect you or I, but I am trying to get you to see that…[Read more]

Also, your constant attempt to rationalize this by equating Mormons to Muslims is ridiculous. I’m a staunch anti-theist, but Mormons are relatively docile. Outside of a relatively obscure and controversial incident 150+ years ago, they don’t even register a blip on the radar.
Now, to be perfectly clear (although you haven’t understood it to this…[Read more]

I had reworded it right after. We’ve had a number of honor killings in the US, and there have been suspected honor killings in Arizona, but only one that, so far, has been successfully charged (sorry, it was 7 years ago, not 5). That doesn’t change my point, and it certainly doesn’t change the fact that this is a far more complex issue than you…[Read more]

I gave you a link to the Pew poll on Sharia law. Beyond that, we have actually been attacked on our own soil, and we’ve witnessed countless attacks in Europe. You continue to mock others who think differently than you, but you are the one who refuses to examine the facts. As far as the honor killing in Phoenix, here you…[Read more]

Did you even bother to read my post, or did you just skim the title? I straight up said it was a rash and reckless bill. I understand the feelings behind it though, which you refuse to consider. You said earlier that the fear is bullshit, but that is exactly the kind of extremist sentiment I’m talking about. If you don’t worry even a little bit…[Read more]

Why does the word “ban” bother you? And, you have not been watching much of the protests if you have never heard anybody oppose any bans.
The fact that it takes years to get in is fantastic.
I disagree with this. While I did say that weakening the vetting process isn’t a viable solution, I think we can improve on it, and possibly streamline it. I…[Read more]

and say “woah, that seems like a horrible idea”. I can’t do that with the immigration ban. While I don’t agree with the ban itself, I understand the sentiment behind it.
