This is a seperate issue. If you want to discuss US immigration policy, then start a new thread. However, I would agree that the US policy could probably be "opened" up a bit. But that is no excuse for people to break the law to get here.Quote:

Immigration officials also make the decisions in Israel. It's just that you don't happen to like their reasoning for allowing certain people in or not. In their minds there is a "need" for more Jews in the region. But you're ok with that aren't you because that is the "official's" decision?Quote:

Pakistan has blocked the popular video sharing website YouTube because of its "growing sacrilegious content".
Access to the social network Facebook has also been barred as part of a crackdown on websites seen to be hosting un-Islamic content.
Some Muslims need to learn that Islam should not be immune to scrutiny and ridicule. All religion and beliefs experience it and Islam is not special.

Do you have any idea of their teachings and/or impact on societies?Quote:
