A good actor is not a robot reciting lines, and a role is not some sort of hole into which a peg (actor) must fit precisely and in one way only. Part of what makes a good actor good is the ability to provide an interpretation of a role.
Roger Moore was actually the first choice for the role of James Bond in Dr No. Sean Connery got the role instead, and did a fine job of it. But it would be interesting to see how Roger would have done that film.
If the government wants to end encryption they will need to revoke the first and fourth amendments by voting to amend the constitution, and then ratify the amendments in all 50 states. (To which efforts I say good luck, you'll need it.)
All you need is to look at what happened with those TSA master keys for your luggage.
Not going to post the link again because I've already done so twice in the last few days and I'm not looking to be a karma whore, but just search for something along the lines of "TSA Keys Schneier Security" and you'll find the story quickly enough.
What I'm trying to say is that Carter reacted to the actions taken by a specific *nation-state* which had declared itself an enemy of the US and was holding a large number of US citizens hostage. He retaliated on that basis, not on any grounds of ethnicity or religion.
Whether Carter's actions were correct is up for debate, but attempting to judge them by equating Carter with Trump, or likening them to Trump's "Keep the Muslims out!" fear-mongering is ignorant at best, and is nothing more than intellectual dishonesty on the part of anyone who knows anything at all about what was going on in Iran at the time.
FWIW, I generally admire Carter and tend to agree with much of what he says, but I don't pretend he's perfect. Claims on the part of those seeing Trump as some sort of white knight that I do so are simply projection.
Yet humans find it very easy to go along with whatever crowd they happen to find themselves in. It *could* be right, it *could* be wrong--but it *is* a fact, and one which you ignore at your peril.
You're posting anon because you're a racist dingbat. Modern Europeans are the result of millenia of immigration. ("White" Americans are an even bigger dog's breakfast.) Future Europeans are likely to be the result of even more immigration.
Absolutely nothing is new or different here--it's been going on as long as humans have been around, so you might as well get used to the idea.
Also, take a look at what it says a bit further down the page you cited:
The United Nations counts that over 750 000 Syrian refugees have sought asylum in Europe between April 2011 and November 2015. Standing very tightly together, they would fit on 11 soccer fields.
Only a small fraction of refugees fleeing their homes make it to Europe. The UN has registered over four million Syrian refugees in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt and North Africa. Most of them live in refugee camps close to the border. They would fit on 61 soccer fields.
It's quite possible for the system to be gamed. I could cite a prominent example from fairly recent history, but my doctor's put me on a reduced-Godwin diet.
No, it's more like giving someone begging on the street corner for food money and then seeing them in a Brook Bros suit with a hooker on either arm six months later.
I did not donate money to Mozilla back in the day in order for them to be able to spend six figures on PR. Fuck that noise. If they can afford that nonsense, they can afford to send me a refund. With about 15 years' interest.

I'd stay up all night listening to T Rex if I didn't have to work in the morning.
It's more like trying to "manage expectations".
You're absolutely correct about that.
(I'll quit daydreaming now.)

WTF? My argument is nothing of the bloody sort.

It's actually 3/4 of the states (38 of 50).
In the real world, you sometimes have to give things you don't want to give so that others might be inclined to return the favour.

Maybe they won't find it quite so easy to text one another to plan and co-ordinate their attacks, like the ones in Paris did.
This explains perfectly how Muhammed Ali was able to call out Trump on his nonsensical race-baiting.
What I tell you three times is true:
Islam is not a country. Iran is not a religion.
Learn the difference, and stop polluting your brain with nonsense from Infowars.
Still haven't figured out that Iran isn't a religion and Islam isn't a country, have you?
As if there's no other way they can send operatives to Europe or America?
You've already been identified as a libtard/fundie whose response to rational argument is "LOL". Learn to think, or go home.
Muslims are not a country, and Iran is not a religion.
You pretend that there's no such thing as mob psychology? I really thought you were smarter than that, Fusty.
Fanboi much?
