They don't wear buttons that say "Hamas" or terrorist. It is not an issue of asylum, it is an issue of the mind set of a large portion of an immigrant population and the lack of ability to know what that mind set is, to control the influx into the country, and to prevent terrorism without unfairly discriminating against immigrants who would otherwise be valuable additions to the community.
And, as I said, I think Europe is poised for a much bigger problem in this area than we are.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
