Let's just import 500,000 people from Iraq! Great thinking and all of those new refugees will be socially liberal and not at all anti-Semitic!

How do you intend to ban all social conservatives and anti-Semites from entering the country, any way? And the way you singled out one country as having anti-Semites and social conservatives is getting dangerously close to the way Trump banned immigration from those 7 Muslim-majority countries. There are plenty who come from Iraq who aren't anti-Semitic or socially conservative, and plenty who are anti-Semitic and/or socially conservative from all countries (including from across Europe and the Western World). It's impossible to differentiate who's 'socially liberal' (an arbitrary and practically meaningless term to begin with) from who's not, and impossible to determine who's 'anti-Semitic' (again, an arbitrary term with no clear or obvious definition - even if there is one, you can't necessarily just "figure out if somebody's anti-Semitic"), and frankly, both exercises are futile and unnecessary.

Meaning is hard to convey in text, but it was meant to be mostly sarcastic. I was making fun of the left wingers who use latinx and demand 50 gazillion queer characters in Disney movies and then turn around and yell at people for being 'Islamophobic'.

The things about Islam I admire come from actual research and the like, something I don't think they bothered with.
