The "concerns" enumerated cannot be answered in sound bites or 20 minutes with David Gregory. Some of them are incurable absent personal exposer. Some are pretty much a requirement to disprove a negative because they are built on BIGOTED emotional responses rather than anything related to evidence.

Hell, one of your "concerns" is fucking distrust of religion, for crying out loud. What on earth are they going to do about something like that?

The best way to foster understanding of "other" is to spend time together, to share burdens, to participate in common joys and sadness.

No group yet has "explained" their way out of such a trap.

This tact is some bogus passive-aggressive bullying, "Do what we say or you don't mean what you say and deserve our attacks".

You don't put people in no win scenarios like that and it is dishonest to pretend the "concerns" are rational.

You have placed a burden of proof that cannot logically be met and that is against everything we are supposed to be about on innocent Americans.

Americans ought to take such desecration of out values personally because if we don't there will be another black mark in our history and it will be fodder for global extremism by proving that our words are empty and our principles a thing of ease and convenience.

You think this foolish display sells to 1.5 billion muslims or is it more likely that some will see hate and intolerance that tells them our pitch of inclusion is bullshit?
