Dead on. The appeasers are just signing their own death warrants.

Also notice how these noble Muslims are sending the young males to escape war, leaving the women and elderly to fend for themselves.

Why is it we as a people can no longer agree on what is right and wrong? What is good and evil?

We used to be able to agree that any culture or government that is oppressive to to certain groups of people is wrong. A belief system that executes people for exercising freedom or religion, or cuts people's hands off for stealing is evil. Now we have to "tolerate" this. And of course the definition of tolerate now means to welcome them with open arms into our society with no expectation for them to assimilate to our culture. If we allow someone to come into our country but demand that they embrace our culture, then we're called racists. What is that? Where does that come from?

We used to all agree that the local police were largely a force for good, and any group of people that called for violence against the police were wrong and should be marginalized. Now we're told we have to carefully consider the POV of groups like BLM, and if we disagree with their ideas or approach, then we're wrong.

We used to all agree that the homosexual lifestyle was unhealthy, and be able to point to science and statistics to back up the argument. Now we're not allowed to cite those statistics anymore (are they even allowed to collect them?), and any suggestion that such a lifestyle is not as healthy as a heterosexual lifestyle makes someone a bigot.

Apparently the only group of people that pretty much everyone agrees is evil are white supremacists / Nazis. Of course the left in this country (and elsewhere in the western world) will say that anyone that does not agree with them on every issue is a "white supremacist / Nazi" and therefore, anyone not on the left must be shut up. Any disagreement with them has to be rooted in racism and hatred. Its such an immature and simple-minded world-view, but it keeps getting perpetuated in Hollywood, the MSM(D), academia, and anywhere else where the left has seized the reigns of power.

We are the world. We must blur lines. No boundaries. All are equal. All is the same. There is no black or white, good or evil, just varying shades of gray.

Right. That's because people believe that we have become so sophisticated that it won't be a problem. The problem is, that nature doesn't work that way. Humans are just animals like all other species. We may be much smarter, but not that smart. We are still tribal by nature. Denying this is a huge problem.

We've always 'tolerated' other nations when it suits our national interest. It's one of the reasons that America, despite her strong ideals, is probably more practical than ideological.

We do not chastise Saudi Arabia for their human rights record or undemocratic style of government. We say little to China over human rights abuses or the right of Taiwan to be independent. In fact, we consider both of these countries as allies because it helps our economy and promotes peace.

I don't like throwing around a buzzword like 'culture' because it is ambiguous and often loaded. I would say the entire spectrum of intervention is present in today's 'Americanism'. On the one hand, we used to stay out of 'foreign entanglements', which springs from the anti-federalist individualism espoused by Jefferson and other Founding Fathers. It's also evident in how many Americans view domestic issues, wanting the gov't to just leave them alone.

However, that is not the only facet of 'Americanism'. There is also the side of unity and general concern for humankind. This finds its roots in the Federalism of Hamilton et al, who advocated a strong national government, committed to the defense, but also the prosperity of its people. Hence the national banks were set up, and later labor laws were passed, then welfare in the 20th century came about. In terms of foreign policy, this was demonstrated by our foundational role in the League of Nations and the UN, as well as our people's generous and charitable spirit when calamity has struck other countries.

It is the American love for humankind that will always prevent any kind of terrorism to manifest itself permanently inside our country.

It's not in our (or Europe's, in the context of this thread) best interests to assimilate with a largely uneducated, unskilled culture with an incompatible belief set to our own - one that thinks a woman walking in a skirt deserves to be gang raped, or an adulterer should be stoned to death, or a homosexual should be thrown from a building. Europe understands they're in a demographic crisis; they're allowing folks to immigrate assuming they'll integrate, but every other example in history proves they're wrong.

There is no practical reason to invite them over. There is no shortage of unskilled labor. The welfare state cannot support them.

Yep. I've seen some people who think society has 'evolved' past basic human behaviors. That mix of naiveté and hubris is a special kind of stupid. More accurately, it's a disease.

They're blinded thinking that everyone else is just as miserable and self loathing as they are. Muslims don't have the guilt or desire to kill their society that libtards do, they're actually more than happy to kill of western society too and replace it with their caveman society.

VisorBoy, we might not chastise Saudi Arabia for their human rights violations, but we aren't inviting a million of their 20-30 year old males to move to Florida either. You are kinda missing the whole point of the video.
