When you read the excerpt from above it leads you to believe that the Syrians will be a great addition to the U.S.Bubba wrote:He became aware of it only after the comments posted. He assumed everyone knows "Muslim Agenda" translates into "Muslim Extremist Agenda", a pretty bold assumption given some of his posts in other threads.

When you see polls (and I admit you can't tell the accuracy and there may be an agenda behind them) that show many more Muslims living in the U.S. would like to live under Sharia Law than you would expect you're lead to believe they don't want to assimilate and hold onto their fundamentalist values. We do have honor killings in the U.S. although they are rare.
So, how many Syrians do you think we should let in?
As for how many Syrians should be let into this country, I have no idea. You have to realize, however, that we already have Syrian immigrant communities here (albeit limited) and that additional immigrants can, with reasonable ease, assimilate into those communities and into American society.
See:

And why they’re likely to be a boon rather than a burden to these cities.

Here's an excerpt:
Syrians could benefit their new homes in many ways
Syrians tend to have high levels of education and a varied skill-set. This puts them at an advantage in the American job market, especially compared with lower-skilled refugees from other countries.
Of course, they will go through an adjustment period. They may face language barriers and their degrees may not translate to the American job market. To get back up on their feet, they might need help from state and non-profit service providers for a while. But Capps predicts the Syrians will soon be in a position to contribute to the economy.
"There could be some bumps on the road. Like the experience of a lot of other refugees recently who are highly skilled, many of the Syrians may wind up in some low-wage jobs that are not commensurate with the social status they had before,” Capps says. “But because of high educational attainment in general and high past job skills attainment, my assumption and hope would be that they would rise in the labor market relatively quickly."

You're right. Maybe this makes more sense than I thought. They are a very peaceful religion and I respect that.XtremeJibber2001 wrote:They don't worship cows. It's about what the cow represents to them.
