“Fox and Friends” co-host Tucker Carlson on Sunday wondered if countries should change their immigration policies to keep potential terrorists out of the country.
“Will someone somewhere make the obvious point that perhaps France is having these problems because it has the largest Muslim population in Europe as a result of its immigration policies?” he asked. “Is it time to re-think immigration policies in Europe and, by the way, also here in North America, to pay attention to the country of origin? Is it a good idea to let a lot of people from countries where violent Islamism is rife come to this country? What do we get out of it?”
Carlson also said that terrorism is “an Islamic problem.”
“Islam has become rigid, it’s become doctrinaire, fundamentalist, and the world is suffering as result,” he said. “Not all Muslims, of course — most are peaceful and decent people. We all know a lot of them. But there is a species of the religion that has gone completely off the rails, and until you say that out loud, it’s kind of hard to address it.”

“But there is a species of the religion that has gone completely off the rails, and until you say that out loud, it’s kind of hard to address it.” I’d agree with Tucker Carlson if he were willing to apply his statement to fundamentalist Christianity.
If Tucker Carlson, BA Trinity, and his friends The Two Hairdos know so much about geopolitics why isn’t the State Dept., the NSC or even the UN scooping them up to help straighten out word affairs? Is it because sitting on a comfy sofa is so less difficult than actually DOING something?
I know I don’t have to say this here, but they don’t know a damn thing about geopolitics. If they did, they’d know that the reason France has so many Muslims from North Africa is not because of PC “multiculturalism” but a legacy of its desperate attempt to hold on to its colonies - they declared Algeria an integral part of France, rather than an overseas territory or colony like all the others, so for a long time there was no restriction on moving back and forth. Likewise, the reason there are so many in Germany is because they wanted a source of cheap labor, and Turks were their Mexicans.
What Tucker & co. ascribe to liberal soft-headedness, is entirely rooted in cold-blooded capitalist/imperialist motives from decades ago.
We who know a few things could’ve told those who nothing a few things.
Yes, but would it matter? Therein lies the true problem.
