No, Isreal does not treat Muslims as equals. Generally, Isreal is fairly unpleasant towards Muslims. They have a religous government, so people of a different religon generally fair poorly. Maybe that's unfair of them, but many Muslim countries have religious government that do not treat Jews well. Either way, it would appear to be a good reason not to pick Israel as a Muslim refugee looking to flee somewhere.I think the group of refugees William is refering to are a different group than those fleeing Iraq. Specifically, they lived in Israel until they were kicked out to found a Jewish homeland in the wake of WWII. I do not think the majority of refugees in the former category also fit into the latter, meaning that most people fleeing Iraq do not have a recent family history of living in Isreal or on land now in the possesion of Isreal, thus the former group's rational for wanting into Isreal does not apply to the second group.
why does everythink progress story make it to the top? I swear there has to be a mass group of people timing when i story is added and then digging the crap out of it.
How many of these bias, editorial, "thinksocialism...err progress" stories do we have to endure? Should conservatives start posting Drudge Report and News Max stories? I don't see any difference.
According to interaction.org: Every year, more than 70,000 refugees are resettled in the United States. But you retards wont let that get in the way of your Bush Bashing will you?You may now bury down this lone comment of truth in a sea of stupidity.
I just heard today on savage nation that many refugees from Iraq are already here,now my Q... is are we bringing in the enemy!..these people will never change their religion ,and there aim is to kill us..look AT WHAT is happening in Europe.
