Why do we need Muslims in the west?


The entirety of my response was in the context of the Middle East. The goal being to bring the fun parts of the west to them and chip away at the Islamist movement(s) with some good ole soft power.

In the West? I mean, there's a bunch of em getting an education and doing research that provides innovation in technology and the sciences. If they add something, that's not a bad purpose. It's pretty much the same idea for any immigrant group.

Don't cover it.
The concept of terror is to use a relatively isolated event to affect an entire population. The only way to do that is to use news networks as a tool. No news = no reward for terror.

No.

I am saying there's a lot of research to go around. The more, the merrier in that arena.

But it is what you're saying. You're suggesting that the 320 million people living here already aren't "enough" to do the research.

What is your solution? Genocide? Forced relocation. The Algerian French example shows that these people aren't wanted in their original countries and aren't wanted in France. It will be incredibly costly, and will create massive problems in the interim, and almost ensure that Islamism will survive long term.

There's not a finite amount of scientific research to be done.

Every problem looks like bombing the shite out of it is the answer.

And there's certainly not an infinite amount to be done, either.

Every group has shitty sects. But when average people believe that they are doing gods work, you have bigger problems.
Depends what "gods work" looks like. The Bible teaches that God's work (or will for us) is to obey God's law (think 10 commandments) towards one another and preach the gospel so that people will be saved. Aside from maybe thinking that preaching is annoying, it's very benign at worst and a positive influence on society at best. You get into trouble when you start imposing requirements and laws on people in the name of God where they don't exist in the source material.

Atheism typically goes with naturalism, materialism, and moral relativism, which allows adherents to justify any and all behaviors without any incentive to be "good" except for the possible repercussions meted by others. If you don't think there will be any negative consequences, you can do what you want without any sort of underlying "rightness" or "wrongness" holding you back, since such concepts ultimately reside in your own brain.

Aside from political genocide perpetuated under an atheistic worldview, you can see the results with those who feel suicidal and angry (or just want to be remembered) and want to take out as many people as they can before they go. You can justify just as much violence (if not more so) as an atheist as you can following a particular religion.

You don't think we're veering into the ridiculous with this argument.

Simply put, they can add something to the economy and society. And they currently are. You can decide if the value is worth the risk of a few Islamist getting in.

Wrangle them all up and ship their asses back to whatever dirt hole they came from. especially the second generation ones that seemed to be much easier radicalized. Then we can promise to never, ever step foot one in any of those shitholes again. Tyrant killing his people, good luck on your own.
