On Tuesday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the American woman most responsible for the current refugee crisis in the Middle East, blasted Republicans for not wanting to accept unvetted Syrian Muslim refugees in the aftermath of last week’s Paris terror attacks.
....
That seems weird, given Islamic countries’ fundamental rejection of leftist values ranging from same-sex marriage to abortion to women driving. But it isn’t so weird when considered in the context of Marxist philosophy, which sees Islam not as a religious philosophy of its own, but as a sort of bizarre cultural outgrowth of poverty. Impoverished people believe weird things, say the Marxists; if we just gave ISIS jobs, they’d stop all this nonsense and start behaving like members of the ACLU. Leftists see Islam not as an ideological force converting millions, but as a knee-jerk response to lack of basic living standards.
In fact, leftists see all religion this way: as the refuge of the weakminded underclass. As Marx wrote, “Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.” Barack Obama agrees: as he said back in 2008, poor people “get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them.”
The view that all religious practice is essentially the domain of the exploited would cut in favor of seeing all religious practices as equally worthy of dismissal.

Why Hillary and Obama Prefer Islam to Christianity
If I'm reading the above correctly, the logic of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama goes like this:
Your actions and beliefs today are the exact opposite of what we believe is right but that's just because you're confused. If you give us a chance, you'll see things our way and become like us.
Obama graduated from Harvard, Hillary Clinton graduated from Yale. And yet, they apparently have the minds of children. I'm afraid to ask if they were born yesterday because they may just be clones and thus they were basically born yesterday. How else do you explain this childish thinking?
Actually, if you think about it, the article above is describing a Borg.

The philosophy described in the article above is the Borg philosophy:
You will be assimilated (whether you like it or not).
Reality check:
That's a big risk with Muslims because their plan (overall) is to assimilate you.
Is the future of the world going to be a race to see if the leftists of the West can assimilate the Muslims before the Muslims assimilate the entire world?
Sorry, my money would be on the Muslims in that competition. I don't like to take that position but I'm a realist.

I head over to Paterson, N.J. regularly to get Middle Eastern food and I am pretty sure all of the people serving me are Muslim. Not one of them has ever tried to 'assimilate' me or convert me to their religion.
However, there is rarely a Sunday that does not go by where some Christian nudnik rings my bell and asks me if I have found Jesus.
Maybe you meant radical Islamists want to assimilate us? Yeah?
Total population

Islam in the United States
Muslims constitute the world's second largest religious group. According to a 2010 study and released January 2011,[1][2] Islam has 1.6 billion adherents, making up over 22% of the world population.

You're going to use a weak straw man argument like you just did? Why?
I specifically wrote "overall."
Muslims: When We Take Over Europe, We will Make It Legal to Rape White Women
If you want to believe that American Muslims represent the average Muslim of the world, you're free to do that. I'm not going to continue to converse with you in this thread because I don't see the point.

Obama and Hillary are just like every other politician.
Self-centered, ego centric, self serving, evil, idiots.

Both Clinton and Obama are religious. Christian religious.

You realize that you just made an appeal to population then backed up your appeal with a video showing a very small percentage of muslims calling for such things right? Hypocrite much?

I was pointing to the population comparisons to prove that the American population of Muslims is irrelevant in the big picture. Claiming that's "an appeal to population" would mean that I made an argument of irrelevance. But, I didn't make an argument of irrelevance. I proved my case.
As for your claim that I used another fallacy after that, I didn't. In order for me to be making a fallacious argument I would have to make a claim about something being a fact. I did no such thing. I only posted the article you referenced as an example and I didn't claim that it proved anything specific. So, I wasn't using a fallacy there.
It was only the appearance of a fallacy and that was intentional.
