Boston Marathon Bombing & Immigration?

Think applications from Islamic people asking for refuge will be denied more often?

On what grounds? Religious discrimination?

Why no, that would be unethical and immoral. But watch more Christians from Isalmic countries get approved than Islamists from central Asia. You can easily say that the Christians are facing more fear of death. Especially when you see how the Coptic Christians are being threatened in Egypt and the current distress of Syrian Christians right now.

Syria has killed more Muslims than Christians by miles........

Why would we be more willing to grant refuge to Christians?

Well I am just shooting from the hip here but could it be from a humanitarian point of view that Christians are targeted because of their religion and Muslims are targeted for wanting to over through the gov?

And from a practical point of view because Christians do not come here to escape religious intolerance then decide to blow people up?

Good points Bob.

So according to the "logic" here, it is ok to discriminate against those seeking to relocate here solely based on the actions of few based on their religion? Is that correct?

So, if an individual murders several individuals and wounds 150 or so more using weapons of mass destruction in the name of his religion, then it is ok to ban any others of that particular religion from entering this country? That is correct?

Then, according to your logic, all christians should be banned from entering this country based on the actions of Eric Rudolph who used weapons of mass destruction to kill 2 and wound 150 others in the name of christanity in which he was indoctrinated at an early age.

It only makes sense to screen them a little bit more. Plus since there is a limited number of slots open, rescuing the imperiled Coptic Christians of Cairo makes more sense than giving sanctuary to Russian muslims who feel so "imperiled" in their home country that the parents moved back and their son, bomber #1, visited them.

Why should christians be given priority over those who are being persecuted in other countries for reasons such as political, ethnic, etc.? Why should muslims be discriminated against as you have promoted simply because a few extremists have acted in the name of that religion in a manner similar to that of Eric Rudolph did in the name of christanity?

So Dog is fine having the blood of 248 wounded and killed in Boston on her hands? Let even more in. And don't even screen them. Open borders right? If they sneaked in, make them legal.
