(7,650 posts)43. Doesn't matter that more Muslims live outside than within the ME
I don't have a problem with the overwhelming majority of Muslims who peacefully live in the west. They go about their lives just fine without me worrying about them. The bad guys in our midst we can deal with, once the jihadist terror from the ME now being inflicted on the west is halted. Stop the movement of people over the wall, and I think we can resolve deal with the bad guys here in due course. And I think the people in the ME, on the other side of the wall, most of whom are not jihadists, will, in time, on their own, deal forcefully nd successfully with their bad guys, as only they can.

Some here prefer to be on the side of the angels: never a war, whatever the consequences

No, because they're not going to be the ones who have to deal with the consequences.

I don't think building a wall around an entire region is prudent or moral.
