Whether we take them or not, they are leaving. They have to go somewhere. Taking them in with an emphasis on vetting and assimilation will produce a net gain in moderate Islam. They need to have their own Enlightenment. They need some goofball prophet to have a Joseph Smith moment and pump out an Allah-inspired New Testament.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
