RIGHT ON Shadow. What gets me is the American Muslims that won't condemn those acts but jump right up and yell that their rights are being violated. Let me tell ya. If 19 short, fat, old farts of Austrian decent ever pull off a terror attack against this country the government can check me at every airport, train or bus station or at the Burger King drive thru for that matter.

[David Waters]

I believe this is someting we can learn more about from the English. They don't play around.

[frank lawhead]

it takes forever for one american agency to tell another one what they have found out ---england does,nt work that way----years ago a retired FBI person told me nothing happens until the G-12s [whatever] decide what they want to do--

The terrorist have already won! When we start detaining innocent people because of the color of their skin or religious beliefs or their ethnic beliefs. The goal of the terrorist is to disrupt our harmany and I believe they have done that very thing. Without any farther actions in this country.

I’m not sure what you mean by “detaining”, but I don’t call checking though someone’s bags that is getting onto some form of public transit “detaining.” I personally think that we are getting way to politically correct, when you have to stop as many 80 year old grandmas as young men of middle eastern decent just so we can say we aren’t profiling something is wrong. All this does is increase the cost of security and while they are check grandmas bags there is less eyes on the rest of the crowd where a terrorist might be. I read or heard somewhere that some bag checkers at airports can tell you who out of a line will have contraband and who won’t, just by looking at them. Now During WW-II we installed camps and rounded up the Japs that were living here, a lot of them went to the camps on there own accord. This is what I would call “detaining” someone that is innocent, and we didn’t lose WW-II, if I know my history. I think we should expect some disruption while at war with these extremist.


Now I haven’t said anything about Muslims because I don’t think that it’s necessarily a Muslim problem. It’s an extremist problem and there are all type of extremist in the world, it’s just the Muslim extremist is the ones that are the most organized. We’ve had a few problems home grown extremist, Waco and Oklahoma City to name a couple. Now what worries me is that I’ve not seen any large number of Muslims unconditionally condemning these actions, as I would if it was a group of Christian extremist, that maybe because they think no one would believe them, or maybe there are more extremist in the US than we know and are afraid of them.

I have noticed the British have arrested a heck of a bunch of people that are terrorists. I believe that they think if those people live extremist lives then they are associated with the acts committed in London and I whole-heartedly believe in they way they are rounding up people. I noticed that there are very few people of Muslim faith in the news in Nashville condeming any terrorist attacks but that when someone so-called desecrated a Koran and it was found in their community they expected the police to arrive there immediately with full riot gear to listen to their complaints and capture the perp. When their call was put off because of higher priority calls, they were in every news paper and on every TV station saying how they had been treated wrongly... Funny to me. I am brash in saying I do not like Muslims and I blame all of them for not putting a stop to what they say is a small group of "extemists" committing these acts. My opinion is that if you don't work to stop it you don't really care if they kill innocent civilians and I'm sure this offends some, but I don't really care. to me it looks like the truth. If I were getting on a plane or a bus and there was an Arab man or a man of North African features, you bet your a** I'll keep my eye on them. So unfair or not I think they should be stopped and searched just for good measure.

[J White]

Right on, fiddlefarter. And stray, yes we had a problem with home-grown
extremist, to mention Waco and Oklahoma City, don't forget Ruby Ridge -
but the extremist who were at the root of all of the above were employed
by our Govt. - Clinton, Reno, and their underlings. Four more years of
their crap, and I would have been pretty extreme, myself.

[beagler]

You all know there are foreighners in this country that have come here for the entent of destroying the U.S> THey have become citizens put there kids in schools. all to blend in. Then blow us up. How many times have foreighners came to our country to be educated and then went home and protested us or worse. While at the same time our governmt continues to let them in. What we should do is close our border's. Instead we welcome them in. These folks with the ACLU need to get a life. From my point of view send them all packing. lose our borders.
