"STATE OF THE DAY" IS NOT DESCRIBING THE REAL ISSUE. The arab/Iranian Islamics are partially to blame. They want people to believe that all followers of Islam agree on the same things and they all are against Israel and hate Christians and Jews. THE MAJORITY OF FOLLOWERS OF ISLAM ARE NOT ARAB, THEY ARE NOT IRANIAN, THEY ARE NOT FROM THE MIDDLE EAST EVEN! The majority of followers of Islam are ASIANS!!! Indonesia, an Asian not Arab country, has the largest population of followers of Islam in the world. China has a huge population of followers of Islam and there is news everyday about how the government of China is persecuting these people. On the other hand the followers of Islam in the middle east and Iran, never talk about the persecution of their fellow followers of Islam in CHINA, though they love to talk about Israel and the USA and their alleged persecution of followers of Islam. (Jewish and Christian majority countries) The Asian followers of Islam do not care about Jews, or Christians they do not know any. However, these people do have conflicts with the followers of the prophet Siddharta, otherwise known as the Buddha. I have no way of knowing who is right or wrong in that situation. All I can say is we should all try to get along with each other.

Perhaps we as a country do not actively seek Muslim immigrants from the Middle East. But I do know that my family going back were part of the Irish immigrant movement and they freaked out the wasp types but because of education we were able to assimilate well. Taking in large swaths of immigrants and plopping them out in some rundown town in east Peoria where they stay tightly locked in is a problem. Also, freedom of religion here is not something we want to lose no matter how flawed their religion. Not sure who thought encouraging this was a good idea. Except osama bin laden and crew. We short never have taken that bite taking on the Middle East. Lots of evil intent.
