Not that facts ever get in the way of a good anti-immigrant screed here but it’s still worth the effort of noting when demonstrably false information is being passed off as fact.
An internet search on "Japan Islam" finds numerous articles debunking that "document" in some detail, and none supporting it in any way. It was apparently widely circulated on the net about 3 years ago.

Here's a newsflash for you, Nameless: Whatever Japan's Constitution or immigration policy is, I don't recall those inscrutable folks over there having any immigration problems or terror attacks on their soil. And that is more than can be said for the U.S.A.!

I do know this about Japan for sure: They are very jealous for their own culture. Very protective of it. Call it nationalism or whatever you want.

I do - of course, it was "domestic terrorism."

I call it common sense.

It’s pretty easy to defend your borders when you are bunch of small islands.

The United States has thousands of miles of land borders to defend.

Common sense to deny entry to foreign horses except in certain select group races.

What would happen to USA citizens if they were illegally in Mexico and decided to block traffic?

I say what is fair is fair, citizens of foreign countries should get treated the same way a USA citizen would be treated in their country. We have let this go too far, illegal immigrants having the same or more rights than our citizens? In California I was rear ended by an illegal immigrant with no insurance and driver's license, the cop let him go without even a citation. He just took an accident report. If the situation was reversed I would have got a trip to jail.

Back to the Davos section of the thread ...

Our sensational, extremely successful US President -- and sole leader of the Free World -- Donald J. Trump will be the first president since 2000 to speak at Davos next week.

Trump is expected to reach out to all countries to invest in America's new policy of accelerating economic growth, low corporate taxes and less regulation.

It is very good that Trump will attend and speak at Davos. His presence will send a strong message to the world that the elites-driven Davos era of socialism, globalism and closed markets is fast coming to an end.

That may be so.
I understand, though, that he'll be doing so without his wife at his side.
That's a shame.....I'm sure he will miss her terribly.

Seems that the tales of affairs with porn stars are affecting the FLOTUS.
This president is all about breaking records. Hmmmmm.......let's see.....
first acting POTUS to divorce while in office? Making America great again!!!

I wonder what it will take for Melania to put up with his crap until 2020?
The promise of a bigger settlement at the end of the rainbow?
What a guy! He's making many lawyers very happy....and wealthy.

You never before acted as someone with any moral purpitude, so what's this obsession with Trump's sex life all of a sudden??

Thanks to Trump people's 401(k) is now an 801(k) ...

I can't wait until tomorrow because Trump gets better every day.

I truly care very little about his sex life.
His wife? That's probably a different story.

It seems to me horsey you get off on other people's purported sex lives. Find a small stuffed animal and pretend it is your husband.
