I really don't care about this, and wouldn't care if this sort of legislation was brought into play here.
It doesn't affect me or anyone I know, and I'm not naive enough to believe in the concept of freedom.
Also, that Washington Post article was ridiculously finger-wagging and self-congratulatory.

Welcome to American news media outlets. 
I believe you will find more fair and unopinionated reporting right here in the Dakka forums than you will on cable and satelite TV.

I'm sorry, I don't post on this forum often because it is full of crap like this, but this needs saying: how did no one call this poster out on this comment? I don't care how you feel about Islam or immigration, but this is flat-out racist as hell.
Even if no one has the conscience to oppose remarks like this, how is there not someone sarcastic and pedantic enough (like me) to point out that Europe is not a nation?

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all

Also, jw oolf? Really?
I generally expect not to run into people called Iron_Chaaos_Brute, so if you'd be kind enough to leave the guy's "name" alone, that'd be a non-douchey thing to do.
