CNN ^ | November 21, 2015 | Gregory Krieg

It was never this bad, not even after 9/11.

That's what many Muslims and Arab-Americans are saying about the tenor of comments made by presidential candidates on down to local officials about how to treat members of their community in the wake of ISIS' rampage in Paris last Friday.

Over the past week, GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump said he would consider compelling Muslims to register in "databases" and that some mosques might be shut; fellow Republican candidate Ben Carson compared some Syrian refugees to "rabid dogs," and Democrat David Bowers, mayor of Roanoke, Virginia, evoked the internment of Japanese in WWII to explain his anti-refugee policy....

Democrat David Bowers invoked the internment of Japanese during WWII advocating his anti-immigration policy.

Gold. Pure gold.

Note:

The outrage expressed isn't over the terrorist attacks, but over measures which might prevent them.

Shows you which side their bread is buttered on.

Exactly, we don’t want them to live in such a horrible environment.

We should let them sue for a plane ticket out of here.

Interesting that any action, reaction, or response somehow plays into the hands of ISIS and makes them stronger.

The “good ones” are nothing more than non combat support personnel. They provide cover concealment aid and supply for the MURDERERS, that walk hidden amongst them!

Our Muslim (p)resident and the Muslim convert of our CIA, John Brennan. According to former FBI Agent John Guandolo, Brennan has committed treason against the United States by passing on classified intelligence to known Islamic terrorists, and has brought these very terrorist into positions of government. Guandolo said the FBI confirmed the facts years ago, and that Brennan is a traitor and is a terrorist enabler of Hamas and other terrorist organizations.

I have little doubt that this pity party in the media that attempts to give sympathy to these poor, poor Muslim "victims" is hatched right out of the White House and from Brennan's sick, twisted, brainwashed mind.

We should re-name our CIA the "Central Islamisist Agency"

Do they need help packing? Perhaps a charity should be set up: The National Committee to Help Muslims Pack and Leave While They Still Can.

Since 9-11, radical Muslims have been on the rampage. Worldwide, they have killed more than 250,000 people. Every demographic group has a small number of people within it that succumb to mental illness and go on to commit murder and even mass murder. But, the percentage of such violent people coming out of the Muslim population is so high as to be troubling.

Thing was, back then Japanese went through great lengths to demonstrate their loyalty to America, that they were Americans all the way, enlisted in great numbers to fight a war defending the United States.

Today, muslimes celebrate in the streets in America over terrorists attacks and bristle at the slightest hint that they are viewed suspiciously as they wear sheets, hide their faces and “celebrate” their moon gawd as they protest any effort to fight cowardly pig scat terrorists.

If any “ethnic” group deserves internment, it is muslimes.

Fine. Go home. We’ll both be happier.

Very true. Whatever the Won wants for us or does is bad for America. If he doesn’t like it, it means it would be great for America. He said he would be the most transparent.
