I recall Trump wanting a travel ban from Syria. Easily could have happened here. Activist judges blocked Trump's ban, though.

We're not safe.

And this easily could've happened there even with a travel ban, or here for that matter.

The travel ban would do far more harm then good.

If it can prevent multiple people from dying and becoming injured, it sounds like a great plan to me.

No death is worth it.

Except it really can't prevent it, and it creates a lot more suffering for people unable to visit family, or unable to escape suffering because of a racist restriction.

Not being able to visit family is better than being dead or paralyzed.

If we're not actively doing everything we can to limit our exposure, we are complicit and responsible.

You do know that the US has far more of a strict vetting process than pretty much all of Europe right? Even people from our allied countries have to jump through hoops to be allowed in.

Activist judges

I love how when judges make ruling according to right wing political ideology they're called "constitutionalist" but when it's a judge making a left wing decision they're "activist judges"

Yes, the travel ban would have stopped an American citizen from returning to the US.

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/13/us/san-bernardino-attacks-us-visa-process-tashfeen-maliks-remarks-on-social-media-about-jihad-were-missed.html

WASHINGTON — Tashfeen Malik, who with her husband carried out the massacre in San Bernardino, Calif., passed three background checks by American immigration officials as she moved to the United States from Pakistan. None uncovered what Ms. Malik had said online about her views on violent jihad.

She said she supported it. And she said she wanted to be a part of it.

American law enforcement officials said they recently discovered those old — and previously unreported — communications as they pieced together the lives of Ms. Malik and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, trying to understand how they pulled off the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001.

Had the authorities found the messages years ago, they might have kept her out of the country. But their recent discovery exposed a significant — and perhaps inevitable — shortcoming in how foreigners are screened when they enter the United States, particularly as people everywhere talk more and disclose more about themselves online. Despite a tremendous electronic intelligence-gathering apparatus that captures phone calls and emails from around the world, it remains impossible to conduct an exhaustive investigation for each of the tens of millions of people who are cleared each year to come to this country to work, visit or live.

Federal officials said they had discovered private conversations about jihad between Ms. Malik and Mr. Farook on an online messaging platform, as well as emails and communications on a dating site, but not on traditional social media sites such as Facebook. But even those sites, where conversations can be public or semipublic, pose a logistical hurdle for immigration screeners, who do not routinely conduct social media searches during the visa process.


http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/22/us/san-bernardino-shooter-visa-application/
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Virginia, said in a statement that it was clear to him that officials did not thoroughly vet her application.
"In order to obtain a fiancee visa, it is required to demonstrate proof that the U.S. citizen and foreign national have met in person. However, Malik's immigration file does not show sufficient evidence for this requirement," he said.
According to Goodlatte's office, the stamps show Malik entering Saudi Arabia on June 4, 2013. It's unclear when exactly in 2013 she left. Stamps in Farook's passport show that he entered Saudi Arabia on October 1, 2013, and left around October 20, 2013.
"However, even if Farook and Malik were in Saudi Arabia at the same time, this does not provide evidence that they met in person. Additionally, Malik's Saudi Arabian visa was good for only 60 days, so this would cast doubt on the claim that the two were in Saudi Arabia at the same time," the statement read.
Malik came to the United States on a fiancee visa. She later obtained a green card.
Malik and Farook did in fact marry in California shortly after her arrival in the United States, as required under the terms of her visa, a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services official told CNN.
A USCIS spokesman said that officials thoroughly vet every application.

Wasn't trying to make a point, didn't see the guy was actually a Muslim, so yea obviously it's a terrorist. I was just covering my bases, if it was a white guy it would have obviously been some mentally unstable nutjob.

Who are all these Christian terrorists in western nations you're talking about? And by that, I don't mean someone who may have been a Christian at some point, I mean someone whose terrorist attack was specifically motivated by Christianity?

You don't feel sorry, because it's happening in no fewer than 20 counties you couldn't name because it doesn't make the mainstream news and you don't care enough to actually look it up. Islamic terrorism is a big issue because the barbarity spills out of those regions and affects the civilized areas.

But keep making excuses to avoid answering my question. I know none of you regressives or apologists can.
