Re: The Middle East, Islam & Israel: Where do you stand?
But, why should it have to be an option at all?
I wouldn't have any problem, for example, with having an Indian friend who I enjoyed to exchange or discuss ideas and experiences, if he lived in India. One, or more than one.
However, what would be the grounds under which I should agree to one staying and the other 1 million to go? That I might consider him more intelligent than the other 1 million? So it would be my bias? Who tells me for sure that the other 1 million are not just as intelligent if not more?
As a guest? as a visitor? Sure, no problem. 1 or 1000.
