Here’s how Brian Macker learned to stop worrying and love La Migra:

One need only respect others rights insofar as it is reciprocal.

This is obviously false. If someone steals $20 you have the right to use force against her in self-defense in order to recover the $20 and any additional compensation for the time and money lost in recovering it. You do not have the right to steal from her willy-nilly, let alone to enslave her or burn her property or kill her. If you believe that any failure to respect rights allows you to treat the violator as an unperson, then you are not a libertarian; you are just unhinged.

I don’t see Muslim countries tolerating any sort of immigration by non-muslims or even equality for existing non-muslim citizens in their own countries.

This is false: there are in fact substantial populations of immigrant non-Muslims (especially from Europe, the United States, and South Asia) living in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (especially Dubai), Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Albania, etc., and there have been since these countries came into existence. But even if it were true, it would be doubly irrelevant. First, because assaults on your person don’t license reciprocal assaults; they only license the amount of defensive force necessary to recover compensation. Second, because the people you are proposing to exclude do not determine or enforce the immigration policies of “Muslim countries” in the first place, and so aren’t responsible for any of the rights violations that you complain about. (I take it that you’re not only talking about using force to block Saudi princes and the like from entering the country; you’re talking about using force to block ordinary Muslims as a group. If you’re not, then I apologize for misunderstanding you, but you really out to be clearer about your targets.)
