There's been 5,000 signatures in the last 5 minutes so it is being treated as a serious concern.

So they basically want to close borders and stop immigration forever.

There are probably legal reasons why we can't do that.

Also IS won't be defeated. There power may be reduced by they are an ideology that will not die out.

It is worrying though, as one of the Paris attackers was apparently a Syrian 'refugee' who travelled through Greece back in October. I expect there's more to come.

It's not about being enlightened or liberal or anything. Do you really think is possible to "close all borders"? (Well, maybe a tad easier in the UK since it's an island). Do you really think that most of the refugees are terrorists? (Or even many of them)? Don't you think terrorists will already be there and be citizens?

IS stated back in September that they would exploit the refugee stream to get more Jihadists into Europe.

I suspect that not many will come but so far we knowonly of thismone and he was part of the biggest terror attack in Europe since the Madrid bombings, so there clearly is some risk.

It is a very difficult proposition, weighing the humane concern for refugees against the need for security. Free movement across borders as advocated by the EU is both a boon for commerce and a bane for maintaining order and self-determination. The issue is particularly stark in France where jihadists (many naturalized or natural-born citizens of the country) trek back and forth from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, train in combat, and arrive in Paris with impunity, ready to spread mayhem.

1. It's not as easy to attack Israel as it seems.  2. The enemies are those states who support And gave birth to Israel first. 3. This is not a case about race I think. Only religion and politics. 

I definitely have no inclination to sign anything like that. Immigrants are fleeing the same people perpetrating terrorist acts like that. It's far too xenophobic for my liking, especially with language like "Islamist attacks". This sort of thinking worries me, it will only lead to Muslim people becoming more isolated, and when they are faced with persecution for simply being who they are it will only serve to fuel their radicalization. Moreover, ISIS isn't the kind of entity you can just defeat.
