Quote:I get where your coming from I just think it's safer to say we won't take people from x country becuase it's a risk, than saying we won't take people of x religion or x culture. It's achieving the same end goal but without setting a precident that religion or culture is a choice that has to be approved by the state.

I would gladly accept a Coptic from Egypt but would reject a Muslim from the same country. Ditto an Israeli Jew vs. a "Palestinian" from the same area. It's unrealistic to believe that we are at war with countries, we're at war with an extremist religion. At this time I would not accept a Muslim of any type without deep vetting of his/her background.
