Quora Answer: Would You Allow Muslims to Migrate to Your Country?

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

The following is my answer to a Quora question: “Would you allow Muslims to immigrate to your country? 

It makes no sense for immigration policy to be based solely on religion.  When we consider it logically, how many people who claim adherence to any faith actually follow every single commandment, every rule, every article of faith?  Nobody knows that much.  Even if they did, considering the multitudes of schools, sects and denominations in every religion, it would be impossible because they contradict each other. 

Immigration policy should be based on need of the state, the values of the prospective immigrant in relation to the citizenry, and whether they would make good citizens.  Ultimately, it is about values.  Values are not commensurate with religious adherence. An honest man is honest regardless of his faith or lack of it.  A dishonest man is dishonest likewise.
