There are probably legal reasons why we can't do that. Also IS won't be defeated. There power may be reduced by they are an ideology that will not die out. It is worrying though, as one of the Paris attackers was apparently a Syrian 'refugee' who travelled through Greece back in October.

It's not about being enlightened or liberal or anything. Do you really think is possible to "close all borders"? (Well, maybe a tad easier in the UK since it's an island). Do you really think that most of the refugees are terrorists? (Or even many of them)? Don't you think terrorists will already be there and be citizens? -------------

IS stated back in September that they would exploit the refugee stream to get more Jihadists into Europe.

It is a very difficult proposition, weighing the humane concern for refugees against the need for security. Free movement across borders as advocated by the EU is both a boon for commerce and a bane for maintaining order and self-determination. The issue is particularly stark in France where jihadists (many naturalized or natural-born citizens of the country) trek back and forth from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, train in combat, and arrive in Paris with impunity, ready to spread mayhem. And there is no Charles Martel to drive back the Moors, because there is no horde at the gate. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

I definitely have no inclination to sign anything like that. Immigrants are fleeing the same people perpetrating terrorist acts like that. It's far too xenophobic for my liking, especially with language like "Islamist attacks". This sort of thinking worries me, it will only lead to Muslim people becoming more isolated, and when they are faced with persecution for simply being who they are it will only serve to fuel their radicalization. Moreover, ISIS isn't the kind of entity you can just defeat. |

When a doctor finds a tumor, the need to perform surgery becomes necessary. ISIS/Daesh needs to be surgically removed permanently. No more pussyfooting, the combined European armies alone can do the surgery. This cancer has been going on since 1096,(Godefroy de Bouillon), unrelenting up until the siege of Vienna in 1683. The ghost is back in full force , attempting to invade Europe once again by infiltrating thousands within the half-million 'migrants' (mostly single men between 20-30 years of age BTW) .

Well, let's see....given that most Islamic regimes by there very nature are oppressive and barbaric (and Shi'ite Iran, although opposed to the Sunni Isis, still puts hits out on cartoonists and Salman Rushdie, and stones adulterers), I would say that Ockham's razor cuts things down to the simplest terms: Isis is a radicalized form of Islam that is accepted by many adherents to Islam (whether openly or with tacit nods and money under the table). They pick the most violent aspects of the Koran and have proclaimed Jihad against apostates (they are as ruthless against Shi'ites as they are against Yazidis or Christians). The Koran speaks of world domination by Islam (the word "jihad" appears over 40 times in the Koran), they take their scripture literally.

While I certainly understand the want and need for stricter controls and monitoring of borders/entry...why stop immigration itself? Why "close" the borders? Seems perhaps an A: over reaction based off knee jerk or B: a belief that maybe was already wanted and now given "justification"? We in the Western World are proud of our civilization, our way of life, so it's when times are toughest we need to uphold them. So we can't proceed with anger, and we can't just give up what it is that makes the "civilization" that so many are saying is now being warred with. |

From a Canadian perspective, our government want bring 25,000 refugees per year... They will pay food, loan a shelter, give them money etc... Over terrorism issues, this will cost us a ton of money, most don't speak our languages, their conception of the world is diametrically different (religion doesn't really exist where I live... And I like it that way!) and common feeling is that it's gonna end up in ghettoisation. I'd like to help, but not necessarily welcome them, terrorism is just one aspect...

Current UK immigration/asylum controls allowed 216 refugees to enter the country between June 2014 and June 2015, 166 of those were from Syria, our [vain]glorious leader has said that he would grant asylum to 20,000 refugees over the next five years. Not all of those refugees will be from Syria and not all of those will be muslim. Even if we assume that most of them will be, then that amounts to less than 0.7% of the 2.79 million muslims who live in the UK. Let us remember that not all muslims are islamists, not all islamists are extremists, not all extremists are terrorists. Whether the total muslim demographic is 2,786,635 or 2,806,635 actually makes very little difference to the people who advocate closing the borders. Last week the people who would have signed the petition to close the UK borders would have been right-wing, anti-muslim extremists, today the signatories are "moderates" who have been "radicalised" by the fear that an obscene act of terrorism could occur here. While I will happily wave the tricolour in support of the peoples of France shaken by an obscene act of terrorism, I will also stand along-side the muslims of this and every other country who are as horrified and appalled by this atrocity as the non-muslim of the world is. What I can never do is sign this reactionary xenophobic petition. ------------- What? |

"Stop all immigration and close the UK borders until ISIS is defeated." seriously? Do I have to go into detail how wrong that is?

Little children, so many innocent people victims of horrific war crimes, what happened to compassion? I have no problem with adding more restrictions to immigration policies but this petition is ridiculous. Classifying a minority group as a whole is wrong, has history not told us anything?

The T, yes they have to be censored now, it's some kind of google rule or something like that that effects P.A. too inc. the revenue, I can't blame P.A. for having to conform to that tho' however I was just stating how in general our priorities seem so twisted. |

| This Syrian refugees crisis was provoked by the west wanting to "liberate the Syrian people from the Assad regime", thus enabling the worst evil to congregate instead. |

That is certainly a part of it, but the full picture, as ever, is a damned sight more complex than this, Sonia. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org |

 When I was at University in 1979 two of the people on my course and several in the hall of residence were Iranians who had come over to the UK to study. During the Iranian Revolution that occurred that year all of them were naturally concerned for their families back home, but what struck me more than anything else was the friendship and support they all extended to the lone christian in their group. ------------- What? |

It is way more complex indeed, Lazland, I understand that and I am not placing the blame on anyone, political practices and influences are both internal and external. My comment, here above, is more related to my previous posts, in the sense that many people are innocent victims, nothing to do with terrorists, they are suffering and really have nowhere to go.

This petition would not seem to be so blatantly xenophobic if it was not contrasted with the fact that three of Paris terrorists were French nationals that blended in with Syrian refuges residing in Paris. Please note that they were not actually Syrian refugees.

If there is one despicable term it is "economic migrants" (the German term for it, "Wirtschaftsflüchtlinge" meaning "economic refugees", is even mode despicable). It is an absolutely cynical term. First the African countries are exploited to a state of absolute poverty by the Western economy, and when people rightfully try to escape that situation we refuse to give them shelter on the grounds that they are "mere economic migrants". I'd like to see any well-fed citizen of the "Western civilization" in the situation these "economic migrants" are in. I am certain they would try to escape in no time. And the "Schlepperbanden" (a German word for "gangs smuggling illegal immigrants") feast on this wish to escape the poverty like hyenas on a corpse. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |
