Pennsylvania Terror Under-reported –For those who still think it wise to allow Muslims purportedly fleeing Syrian violence to live here, consider these stories from last week.
Jalil Ibn Ameer Aziz, 19, of Harrisburg, has been charged with conspiring and attempting to provide material support to ISIS. Aziz allegedly used 57 Twitter accounts to advocate violence against the United States and to disseminate ISIS propaganda and acted as an intermediary between a person in Turkey and several well-known members of ISIS.
Note the source is the Marple Newtown Patch using information unsealed Thursday U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. This story was not given major play in the local dailies or television.
And yesterday, Dec. 18, authorities evacuated the Walmart on Conchester Highway in the Willowbrook Shopping Center in Boothwyn, after receiving a bomb threat.
It really doesn’t take a genius to figure out that threats alone can cause havoc.

You have a long way to go before becoming a journalist, let alone a legitimate voice of something resembling unbiased reason and logic. The title your little diatribe, “Pennsylvania Terror Under-reported” is a rather silly attempt to integrate your views with the public solicitation fear and isolationism by the far right. Yet another example of extrapolating judgment without objectivity on the media, the left, the Syrian refugees… or who knows whatever else your agenda might be, but please just do everyone a favor… write a blog, assign yourself accurately as an unabashed right wing supporter and all will be good… because you posing as anything even remotely like a journalist, rather than a struggling opinion hack is a disservice to literate humanity.
So regarding your opening lines ” Pennsylvania Terror Under-reported –For those who still think it wise to allow Muslims purportedly fleeing Syrian violence to live here, consider these stories from last week.”….FYI: Jalil Ibn Ameer Aziz is a United States citizen… NOT a refugee fleeing violence, you jar-head!!

Sorry, I’m with Trump.
If someone holds that a woman’s testimony is not equal to a man’s and that switching one’s religion should subject one to the death penalty, I say keep him out. If someone calls himself a Muslim and says those traditional parts of his religion are silly, old fashioned and wrong, well, then maybe you can let him in.
BTW, how many Syrian refugees have the oil-rich Muslim state’s taken in for resettlement? That’s right 0: http://blog.amnestyusa.org/europe/syrias-refugee-crisis-in-numbers/
Ok Bill… it’s not that the above remarks you make are not all completely unfair (nor even necessarily all wrong IMO) but for me the talking points you are focusing on here are just not really relevant nor focused on what kind of political dialog America should be having together as a united county. and it’s this last part that I think is a corrosive and systemic disease that we, as a nation, are suffering from. It’s not a Conservative problem nor a Liberal problem… it’s the idea that one or the other would cut their nose to spite their face if but only to temporarily relieve the exasperation of feeling insignificant on the whole in the grand scheme of this ridiculous political process. I would not demonize you for being with Trump… I happen to think much of the discussion is important to have, unfortunately for America and its children… we are subjected to a blitz of moronic hysteria ie.. christy “We’re in WWIII right now!” or Cruz “Make the sand glow” with his “targeted” carpet bombing (can we all say “oxymoron” together? Emphasis on “moron” LOL. And then of course the main man in the ring calling for ALL Muslims to be banned… not terribly crafty on his part (even if that’s what he and much of America thinks… that is not what this country is made of… not what made us strong, and not what makes us exceptional (which I do think we are)… but hiding away from our own founding values only make us more ordinary and less exceptional. We should not be aspiring to be more like France in our political resolve. The rhetoric in this country has reached unfathomed heights of ridiculousness… whether one is Republican or Democrat… we all need to respect diversity and overcome adversity together… that is what has always made us “exceptional” not vulgar mysogyny, fear-mongering, intolerance, and unproductive hate-speech. …And don’t get me wrong the Washington Post was no better today with what that cartoon on Cruz’s kids… of course they knew what they were doing (even if their point was cogent and accurate), they knew to go about it that way was wrong… and similarly the comics of Charlie Hebdo did not exactly help their own talking points with the inflammatory cartoons… images and vulgarity are powerful and the people of America deserve a better standard of political discourse. No matter how many lousy Arab nations don’t help their own, which, I agree with you… they don’t do a damn thing… and that goes for helping Iraquis, Afghanis, Syrians, Palestinians and on and on… they do nothing but get rich off of oil, arms, backroom deals conspiring against America and Israel over chickpeas and hookahs …that’s the world we live in, but that doesn’t mean that America should follow suit… I still believe we are here to SET an example for the rest of the world to follow, NOT to be made an example of cowardice by weakening our Constitutional application. That’s how I see it. I’m sure you’re not a complete jar-head, lol (but Trump really? All farmland and no cattle… not even a a stray cow of an idea grazing in a distant meadow of how to fix anything… other than his Great Wall of Mexico)… I’m just as ticked about the state of it all as anyone, but I can’t vote for a guy who is not equipped to constructively and substantively discuss seriously complex issues and work with others to solve them.
You’re comments above are fine and I have little to disagree with, albeit I think vetting people on their values — not religion — is appropriate with regard to immigration.
One point, though.
