I didn't make up the title Radical Islam. Society did. Besides you never hear the term Radical Christian or Radical Jew now do you.
To claim that languages aside from English have no place or history in the United States is a narrow view that isn't backed up by the facts.

I wouldn't agree with a petition like that. I don't have any problems with legal immigration. What bothers me is our Government not doing everything within its power to protect our border with Mexico keeping illegals out and doing more to deport the illegals already here.
Want to live in America learn to speak English.

If Americans should be required to speak English then the United States ought to adopt English as its official language. As it stands presently, it is not.

You do realize your country was founded to get away from garbage just like that right? I mean, you do get why the US exists right? To be free from political and religious discrimination.

Well, that would be a sensible way to do it. They can get their educations elsewhere. They can take their money to a different country and help their economies grow.
It will only be a matter of time before there are enough Mulsims, radical or not, who will have a loud enough voice to influence matters on a national level.

Hmmm... If you are worried about them, taking over you, then just do what people have done forever. "Be fruitful and multiply" That ought to get em!
If Muslims cause vastly more terrorist violence looking at them first isn't racism, it's reasonable risk assessment.. (Why racism? What does race have to do with anything?)
Homegrown Terrorism Cases, 2001-2012
The New America Foundation and Syracuse University’s Maxwell School have examined cases of homegrown jihadist and non-jihadist terrorism in the United States since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Key Observations:
At least 380 people were indicted on terrorism-related charges in the United States between September 11, 2001 and December 31 2012.
207 of those people are identified as "jihadist" terrorists, and they subscribe broadly to the ideology of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda.
174 of those people are "non-jihadist" terrorists, who subscribe to violent, radical interpretations of one of the following ideologies: rightwing, leftwing, animal rights activism, environmental activism, or anarchism.
51 rightwing extremists and five anarchists were able to acquire explosives or bomb-making components. Five of the rightwing extremists obtained those weapons through government sting operations. Click here for the data.
23 jihadist extremists were able to acquire explosives or bomb-making components, 12 of whom obtained those weapons through government sting operations. Click here for the data.
The pool of non-jihadists is overwhelmingly made up of rightwing extremists: 80 percent, followed by animal and environmental activists at 15 percent.
At least 29 people have been killed by non-jihadist extremists since 9/11, while 17 people have been killed by jihadists.
Just 5 percent of jihadists indicted since 9/11 had carried out some kind of violent attack, while just under 50 percent of non-jihadists committed a violent crime before they were charged.
Just 16 percent of jihadists were able to acquire weapons before they were indicted, while 38 percent of right or leftwing terrorists possessed weapons (often in large quantities) at the time of arrest.

You are saying, you support stopping all immigration but only for a select group because of their religion.
Yes, no other religion is trying to destroy us.
And yeah, it's my bizarro world
