This does not mean those 10% are terrorists
so you guys are denouncing an entire group of people for the actions of less than 10%?
seems legit.

Missed this one cuz it was on the bottom of last page, sorry.
How can you guarantee that within these refugees, there will be no terrorist, or people sympathetic to terrorism?
Can you at least recognize that importing terrorists and/or people sympathetic to terrorism is a bad idea? No one can guarantee something like that, you can't even guarantee that there won't be terrorists or sympathizers emerging from natural born citizens. Why are you assuming these refugees are terrorists or sympathizers? If anything, they're less likely to be terrorists since they are poor, broken people just looking for a peaceful life somewhere.
edit: I hope you didn't miss my post above
I'm not assuming they are.

Fear mongering.
Can you guarantee your neighbour isn't a terrorist or sympathetic to terrorism? No, you can't, you aren't him.
Now there's the risk factor, countries select their refugees, it's not some kind of random refugees batch. Risk is low.
My neighbor has a right to be here. She's a citizen and this is her home.
These people come from a place and a culture that is pretty hostile to America. It's pretty irresponsible to bring them in without assuring they didn't share that same hostility. That's a legitimate concern.
The Tzarnaev brothers were refugees weren't they? It took them over a decade to become terrorists, but they came to this country initially as children. No one thought they were a threat when they did.

Really, this is the amount of refugees people in the US are upset about....
Not really, these refugees, after going through a stringent vetting process, will be welcomed with open arms across the US. We have already admitted over 2,000, which as you say, is a very small number. They are refugees, not immigrants, so its difficult for them to get here.
The vetting process is not stringent. They are only checked against Federal watch lists that we already have. We know nothing about them beyond that. We have no records on the people from Syria and how could we trust any information that might exist from a government that Obama has been trying to overthrow for the last two years?
I wonder where you are getting this from? Looks like you need to do some more research.
How else are you claiming that they are being vetted other than an interview and using our own lists?

Well, I'm not doing your research for you, but I will start you off with the first step in gaining entry is they have to be designated refugees by the UN, who has their own standards of issuing designations. Coming to the US as a refugee is the most difficult path in gaining entry. The Tzarnaev's were not refugees.

Middle eastern Muslims are far more concentrated than that 10% according to polling
Quote: In a 2007 Pew Research poll in response to a question on whether suicide bombing and other forms of violence against civilian targets to defend Islam could be justified, in mainly Muslim countries:
45% of Muslims in Egypt believed it could never be justified, 25% believed it could be justified rarely, 20% sometimes, and 8% thought it could be justified often.
61% of Muslims in Turkey believed it could never be justified, 9% believed it could be justified rarely, 14% sometimes, and 3% thought it could be justified often.
43% of Muslims in Jordan believed it could never be justified, 28% believed it could be justified rarely, 24% sometimes, and 5% thought it could be justified often.
28% of Muslims in Nigeria believed it could never be justified, 23% believed it could be justified rarely, 38% sometimes, and 8% thought it could be justified often.
69% of Muslims in Pakistan believed it could never be justified, 8% believed it could be justified rarely, 7% sometimes, and 7% thought it could be justified often.
71% of Muslims in Indonesia believed it could never be justified, 18% believed it could be justified rarely, 8% sometimes, and 2% thought it could be justified often.

How many people who are sympathetic to terrorism should we allow into the country?

to assert the point that Islam is a totally violent religion. Islam is not a totally violent religion, but it is used for totally violent causes.
My question is, why isn't the citizens/governments aren't cracking down (or cracking down harder) in the region where ISIS is at? I'm sure, with all the people joining ISIS, it shouldn't be THAT hard for a person in these countries, if they aren't at the very least partially sympathetic to their cause, to rat these a-holes out.
If these people who claim their religion is a peaceful one aren't ratting out these violent extremists, then how can they claim their religion to be a peaceful one? I would think that these people, who truly wish for peace, would get rid of violence once and for all.
It's hard for an outsider (in this case, the rest of the world) to crack down on a group of extremists if they are being protected by the government and citizens surrounding them, while those very government/citizens bleating that they are a peaceful people. Short answer: they are. ISIS is as much of a threat to us as it is to you.

Muslims claim isis is perverting islam.
A muslim hater claims all muslims are terrorists.
Hard to chose who to give credit...
Your own cleverness is snaring you here. Please quote me saying I hate Muslims and all Muslims are terrorists. Your either illiterate or severely obtuse. Either way I'm trying to have an adult discussion with you about the source texts and the obvious source for the problems we are seeing.
I'd respect you more for keeping your ignorance to yourself if you are going to act like a petulant child. If you want to engage in a meaningful way read the texts and let's talk. Otherwise I'm not going to bother debating with your uneducated ego on this extremely important topic that shouldn't be swept so easily under the rug of political correctness and self righteous equality. I think the only person here who'd be interested in discussing this would be me. If you want to have a relaxed, mature discussion about this you're than welcome to send PM's.

While those who wish asylum need to meet refugee requirements, refugee status can only be granted to those outside of the country.
They qualified for asylum, which is done from within and -- at least from what I can see -- has a lesser degree of scrutiny.

Is there a difference between the two? Aside from physical location? Nope they're effectively the same thing.
