Some things do not compute

Multiculturalism is okay? No it isn't. Two of my mom's elder brothers were World War 2 veterans. Both survived. A cousin of them did not, he was shot down over the North Sea. The elder brother was a P.O.W. for 18 months, and he was kept near Moosburg which is close to Dachau. The younger was wounded in Normandy.

The reason why so many men were in uniform for the allies was because of a distinction multiculturalism will not countenance - there are very real differences between where Dietrich Bonhoeffer came from and where Adolf Hitler came from. As for the need of immigrants, just because some can live an affluent life does not preclude the possibility of any number of them turning what they learned against those who welcomed them to North America (in my case).

Then, in response to the threat posed by Muslims, why not consider what was ruled out by establishment Jews - conversion from Islam to a different religion that does not celebrate death.
