In the 1920s there were a huge number of terrorist attacks in the US by immigrants and the children of immigrants. They bombed Wall Street, judges and congressmens offices and a bunch of other locations. The vast majority of them were Italians or the children of Italian immigrants, anarchists and communists. In 1919 alone in one event there was more than 20 bombs placed or mailed in terrorist attackes. That was less than 100 years ago, but it's strange people have forgotten it already.
Being an immigrant is fucking tough, and the children of immigrants (especially those that are marginalized due to race or religion like Italians were in the US) often grow up struggling to find their feet between two worlds and some resort to very violent crime. This isn't a new phenomenom or a rare one, and it's not unique to Islam.
My wife is Sicilian American. And I'm damn glad that they didn't deport anyone who was Catholic (remember, 100 years that was far worse than being a muslim), had swarthy skin, couldn't speak English or was from Italy just because a small portion of the population was turning to anarchist, terrorist violence. Those things were all proposed, but thankfully not acted on. And our country is a better place for having people like my wife and her family in it.
