In The Atlantic in the summer, David Frum made a very good case for closing European borders (harbors). The article is worth reading and is even more relevant now:

It has been going on for generations, inflamed recently by a series of wars. So to bring in a large population already locked in a culture of violence, there is a good chance it will show up again, regardless of religious affiliation. The Islamic link only serves to spur those on who are already bent on violence - it could be any cause, really. It is not a fair assessment to paint all of Islam with that brush. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : This *is* Islam. It's called *jihad*! It's the struggle to create an Islamic Caliphate that eventually will encompass the world. One person's *jihad* could be with individual sin or weakness. But Islamic Jihad is the struggle to convert the world to Islam so that each individual can have his own personal Jihad.The cat's out of the bag now, Pandora has left her box.

The answer in the chart shows that the perpetrators are home grown individuals in France who are suicidal terrorists. They're more likely Muslims. The inspiration of the attackers is Saturn, signifying the color black. So, what organization do we know that brandishes a flag flag? ISIS of course!! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <s3raphita@...> wrote : Re "You can call them "Syrian" or "ISIS" or "Muslim" but that is far from the whole picture.": They're Muslims - deal with it. Talking about a WWII atrocity would you make the statement: "You can call them "Nazi" or "fascist" or "racist" but that is far from the whole picture"? It's not the whole picture but it is an essential element of the picture. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : I just heard on CNN that Europe estimates that 5-6 thousand *European* citizens have gone to Syria and Iraq to fight with ISIS and now they are returning. This is my point. There really is no name for these monsters. They can be white, British, Muslim, black or American. The point is, it appears any number of people can be convinced that they have a duty to rid the planet of those who don't embrace the values and beliefs they embrace. You can call them "Syrian" or "ISIS" or "Muslim"but that is far from the whole picture.

Turned on the TV and hear about bombings and murders on large scale in Paris but nobody is offering to say *who* is doing it. Need I ask?
