Agreed that in places like Michigan, many places in Europe, etc., many Syrian refugees are refusing to integrate and destroying the community, etc. I'm not a "bleeding heart liberal" as someone else called me, and can both acknowledge the problems of some situations, like moronic liberal immigration policies, while also recognizing the fact most Muslims globally are not radicalized, and that "nuking Mecca" is an idiotic and immoral idea for a number of reasons. Outside the United States, most Muslims you meet are good. I helped one from Malaysia just the other day set up her business on Tripadvisor. She was unbelievably kind. She gave me a free meal, constantly thanked me, and asked how I was for weeks afterwards. I mean truly the nicest person you'd ever meet. At the same time, there are stories like that one clueless woman a year or so ago who backpacked through a bunch of dangerous Muslim areas to prove it wasn't so bad, and she ended up getting raped and having her head cut off. The situation is nuanced and I wish more Americans saw more of the world and understood this nuance.
