    "Thing is that US will be islamic anyway in a near future due to the fact that islamic famillies have more kids(up to 4-6) while normal americans have usually have 1-4."

    Could you please describe the difference between Islamic Americans and "normal Americans"?

    Yeah maybe, but I can live with it, I think its better then bombing those counties comparatively speaking.

    What's the policy now? we don't have an open immigration policy, do we? We deny visas all the time? Didn't we revoke a ton of visas after 911?

    Which do you think is morally worse, denying someone entry to the US or blowing them up?

    You seem really pro blowing people up, but its terrible thing not to let them in the country? I don't quite get that.

    I'm sure people could reapply for entry in few years , I guess I look at it like this, if allowing certain groups, or nationalities entry into the US decreases our safety, then screw it, don't let them in.

    Arn't we in the middle of "War on Terror"

    What's 1% of 280 million? How near is that future? I'm not great at math, but seems to me that they would have to multiple like rabbits.

    But I am not going to get involved, bash any religion or group of people.
    Instead, I just have to put this in now!

    No Mormones is not a big group. Moslems is a big group there's 1,5 billion of them today which is an 246% increase since 50 years ago.

    I don't say this because I'm afraid of moslems, I say this because it's true.

    I think some are overreacting ... muslem number is under 1.5 billion !
    more closer to 1 billion than 1.5!

    I am glad that cartoon thing is over :)

    Not according to Western Liberal Know-It-All's who loudly proclaim that "terrorists aren't real Muslims".

    And in today's headlines...

    "Mob burns hotel, banks, KFC
    Thousands demonstrating against Muhammad cartoons set fire to Western businesses"

    Boy howdy, I bet that promotes economic development in the region.

    You know what I really do not understand is why the "west" has all this hatred directed at it. Weren't these cartoons created and published in EUROPE?

    I love the protestors holding signs, "Down with Bush", "Screw the West", "American Sucks"... Have yet to see a sign that says, "Down with Europe", "Screw Denmark"... Nope,not seeing it.

    I'm not sure why I am even raising this point. I know the answer to this question.

    It could be a result of the crusades that came from west.

    Also, America is known for the center of freedom of speech, that's just what they are demonstrating against.
