And who are and where are your sources? Your bible? Your belief? Start by yourself before you criticize others, as the bible famously says:

"Pull out the splinter out of your own eye before you attempt to remove it out of others."

I did give a source, which you will see if you look at the replies to your posts.

"No, there should be no restrictions on Muslims coming in the US" is not giving muslims even easier access than anyone else.

They are getting the same option as jewish people, christian people, or any other kind of people.

Ah, I see. I had been interpreting it as "Muslims should face no restrictions when entering the US," not as "the US should not impose special restrictions on Muslims".

Fucking ambiguous sentence structure. :P

Your policy is one of literally throwing open the doors to the entire third world.

I could accept that if they would integrate in meaningful numbers, but they do not. Why should the west be overrun and have our culture forced to conform to theirs?

Why should they be trapped in a country because they were born there?

Partially, but it's more a case of rampant misogyny, homophobia, tribalism and racism. But banning from dictatorships is a start.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

I don´t have them at hand and would need to search for them, but I can do that later.

In the meantime how about YOU show us some proof otherwise?

Also that countless wars, genocides and other ways of starving people existed in the dozens throughout history cannot be denied either.

And if so you are free to revise history completely and show us evidence that this all never happened.

At least 108 million people were killed in wars in the twentieth century. Estimates for the total number killed in wars throughout all of human history range from 150 million to 1 billion. War has several other effects on population, including decreasing the birthrate by taking men away from their wives. The reduced birthrate during World War II is estimated to have caused a population deficit of more than 20 million people.

Honestly, I would have no problems on banning arabic muslim unskilled immigration as said people proved that they're unable to be assimilated into the local culture. Christians, Jews, Yazidi and pretty much every other religious denomination don't have this problem and integrate easily so they, however, shouldn't be barred.

Burden of proof mate. You should know this concept yourself.
If you claim something, especially something as stupid and blablantly false as you did, then you're the one that need to give proof of the veracity of this assertation as it's not up to others to disprove it.
