Yes, but you have to admit that we're doing it pathologically now. What principles oblige us to take in people who openly declare their hatred for us, and that they want our demise ?

For example, it's one thing to speak out in support of Palestine and it's another to say "France will become a muslim country in the next decade and there's nothing you can do to stop it". Or that they're here to take revenge on France for perceived oppression during the colonial era.

This should have no place in polite society.

I understand. And if it's ever up to me, I would do all in my power so that no harm ever comes near this village in the middle of nowhere.

But perhaps this is a difference in our respective temperaments as human beings: I do not wish to run away. Looking at the western world, with respect to all the rest, I see many things worth fighting for, many things worth protecting. And that includes this village of yours in the middle of nowhere.

This is my personal conviction.

Same.

I'm very much the type "the best defense is a good offense".

It's gotten me in a lot of trouble, in my life, but it's also gotten me out of a lot of trouble.
