Don't know if you're serious, but if you happen to be, take that as an insult if you please: Stupid is as stupid does. Arguments from anus don't get any truer because some fearmongers believe them to be true. Or change some political dime on it.
And by the way, it's not only muslim refugees. Even if they are, there might be some consideration of why people decide to leave their livelihood behind. A look at Syria might provide an answer, but I realize, looking at reasons is too much to ask for certain people.
But maybe you were just attempting to paraphrase Trump. One can never be certain.
I'm a liberal who doesn't understand the fetish some on the left have for Islam.
Let me put it another way, after 9/11, some sensible voice talked about the problem of "blowback". This discussion of the failures of US foreign policy and the backlash it was creating was mistaken as being a defender of either Islam or the jihadi mentality that led to the terrorist attack. Far from it. But just because we find a group of people despicable doesn't mean we shouldn't also look at what's driving otherwise good people into their ranks.
The same blowback is happening in Europe. As the left wing keeps shouting the mantras of "religion of peace" and "terror has no religion" in the face of increasing problems with violence and rape, people are going to be turned off by the lies and more will be driven into the camps of the radical right.
