No I did not assume. Sorry you feel that the title and first sentence was okay, but I did not. Differing opinions.
Looks like Islamic Terrorists are at it again!!! I'm just shocked....

Obama only stops short of calling it the same. Anytime these despicable tragedies occur, the retort is "Don't paint with such a broad brush, Islam is a religion of peace" from the regime.

I felt it insensitive and inappropriate. Sorry we differ in that opinion.
Edit: @Guard Dad I did not thank you for your concern. They are okay and have checked in.

“I’m tired of hearing people say that this is radical Islam. No, it’s not. This is traditional Islam. Radical Islam is Zuhdi Jasser . . . those radicals that want to change the basic fundamental aspects of the way Islam has been practiced in the Middle East for over 1,000 years,” Glenn said.

I'm saying that quite literally, we cannot close our border because our border consists of a line on a map, not a defensible border. All closing the border crossings and stopping the international flights would do would be to stop law abiding people from traveling. That is no more security from terrorism than gun control is a cure for violence.

Lover of BS!
You didn't assume?
You called his post "repulsive". The only way you could find it to be so was if you "felt" his post was uncaring, inconsiderate, and/or insensitive.
The first thing he said to me this morning was about the attacks. He was heartbroken - and like many Americans - ANGRY, and rightly so.
He began this post because there was not yet another on the board. As with any other topic, it was started to begin a conversation about the subject. It wasn't meant to do anything other than that. BS enjoys exploring political issues and how they connect with our world and culture. THAT is not assumption - because I KNOW his heart, his feelings, and where he is coming from.
Just because I, BS, or others here don't personally know someone who may have experienced the attacks firsthand, it doesn't mean that we don't care about the situation or the people there.
For YEARS, I have sat back with restraint as members of this board have come out against my husband and accused him of feeling a certain way - just because it's the way they "feel". An opinion is one thing, but ASSUMING the state of mind of another is something quite different.
He didn't say anything that could remotely be read as being insensitive toward anyone other than terrorists themselves, yet you called his statement repulsive.

Would that we could, but history has shown that guns don't change minds, especially the minds of those who think that death is a reward. I think that Cruz had it right, that we need to go into the Islamic enclaves in our cities and both root out the radicals and share the word of individual freedom. It is extremely difficult to combat religeon with reason, but we have to try. You know we have a problem when fully a third of the Muslim population of the US thinks it I OK to kill an infidel for insulting Islam.

Given the climate in Molenbeek, it certainly seems plausible.
Remember when they told us that "no go zones" do not exist ? ? ? They lied.

Um, okay.
Edit: I am going to leave it at that because this is just not a good disagreement to have. We can disagree on what we both think or feel regarding this thread and that is okay with me.

I put the over / under on suicide bombers in the United States at less than 9 months.
What I'm saying is we have to at least try and secure as much of the boarder and immigration as possible. We absolutely can not stop all crime on the streets, but giving up and failing to try will see it grow exponentially. We see what open borders has already done to Europe. I applaud any candidate who is serious about closing the border. They may not accomplish the goal, but I know one thing for certain. People like Clinton and Sanders will not even attempt securing our borders because they have stated as much. That's one thing I believe they are honest about.
