What irks me the most is the fact they think their way of life is better than ours and they believe that gives them free reign to terrorize other countries with death and murder. Do they REALLY think major superpower countries are going to give in to these kinds of cowardly, infantile antics?

And yes, I mean cowardly. Only a coward would hide among civilians and attack non-combatants with weapons and explosives because they know they wouldn't have a chance against that country's military in an isolated battlefield setting. The reality is they can never win doing that. They may cause fear, anger, and unrest, but you can't take over a whole country or cause a country to surrender doing that stuff. No one of sound mind would want to join a terrorist organization because they feel it's the only way to survive. They may have killed 30 people in these attacks today, but there are still billions of people who want nothing to do with ISIS or the Islamic States.

I'm also wary of the immigrants and refugees. I would be perfectly happy and willing to accept them if they understand that they can't expect to bring in their culture and laws, and that they need to assimilate, adapt, and heed the rest of the country's laws, cultural norms, and morals, or take on the consequences of not doing so. Problem is a lot of them don't assimilate, and Sharia law isn't always compatible with the laws of many other nations that believe in equal rights regardless of gender/race/background. You can't expect the country you're moving into to suddenly change themselves to compensate for you. You don't come as a guest to someone's house, act like you own the place, and then declare what everyone is having for dinner and what they'll be watching on TV. If they can't agree to that, then they need to consider moving elsewhere or they should just stay where they are.
