59. Not the same situation at all

Look at Europe. They are being overwhelmed. Terrorists are threatening them and they are threatening us. They have bombed a Russian plane. They have killed over 120 people in attacks in Paris.

The obvious question is...are we next?

The Viet Cong just wanted us out of their country. The Italians you speak of were not part of some systematic religious doctrine. ISIS are religious maniacs in a part of the world that is incredibly unstable, incredibly violent, and filled with religious bigotry. These terrorists blend in as civilians. You cannot tell the difference.

But even beyond that....look what has happened to France. They have let in so many Muslims who have failed to assimilate into the French society. So now these immigrants are mostly unemployed, living off the government, and living in slums. And they are very easy to radicalize in this state. So some of this terrorism in France is homegrown.

The same thing can easily happen here. You let in a large number of refugees, they refuse to assimilate to American culture, and you start seeing radicalization. In the US for example, it is 100% legal to draw a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad. But according to a radical interpretation of Islam, doing that requires death. This has happened in Europe. Remember Charlie Hebdo earlier this year? Remember the Dutch filmmaker several years ago murdered because he criticized the way muslims treat women? Remember in Copenhagen earlier this year a muslim gunman opened fire in a cafe trying to kill an artist that drew Muhammad as a dog?
