We did it to the Japanese, we will do it again if necessary. Catch my drift ?

I sure do. That's why I am holding my nose.

Bad analogy.

I lived in Montclair for 15 years and the place was full of bleeding-heart, pablum-puking liberals

According to the author it was Arabs, not pablum-puking liberals.

Let people know that you are serious and they won't think you found September 11th funny. I find that when I'm posting it's easy to be misunderstood.

Considering the current affairs, and all kidding aside, I hope you reported this event to the proper authorities!

Hello officer. I saw some folks who I think were Arab laughing while walking past WTC photos.

Officer: "We'll get right on it sir".

[sakic]

Considering the current atmosphere, why were the Arab men speaking in their native tongue

What an outrage!!

[sakic]

Do us all a favor then, and go back to whatever Islamic shithole you came from.

You're making a fool out of yourself with comments like that to people you don't have a clue about.

"...It's time for them to leave..."

Yes - send them back to all of the 'stans'....in as many boxes...

Yeah, I guess you really are no ethnic-expert. Especially seeing as how Indians (from India) or Hispanic people don't look anything like arabs.

Why don't you give a fellow Freeper a little credit? I did not just roll off of the pumpkin wagon. I have been to the middle east and have had a number of Arab friends, colleagues and classmates over the years. I do not speak or understand Arabic, but I can distinguish it from most other languages. I ruled out other ethnicities because there have been reports of unjustified attacks on people who were ignorantly mistaken for Arabs. Upon seeing these men, I took them to be Arabs. Their conduct is proof that my initial hunch was correct.

My post said noting about deportation, nothing about internment camps, and nothing about visiting any violence on these men. Nor did I say or even suggest that they are terrorists. At a minimum, I believe they are sympathetic to the forces that destroyed the WTC and terrorized and murdered thousands of civilians. I also believe they have no sympathy for Americans and no appreciation of our way of life. In sum, they are part of a cancer that has spread throughout our country. If I am mistaken and they were just engaging in a little harmless Arab humor, that's just too bad.

I do not need sensitivity lessons. It is these three Arab men who need it. Go lecture to them. They made their comments in front of a group of "white" Americans including three children as well as a person (my father), who was on the 44th floor of the North Tower when the first plane struck and who witnessed unspeakable carnage incluing the sight of dead bodies, people leaping to their deaths, and the collapse of two buildings containing perhaps as many as five thousand souls.

I'm not sure I get your point, TK. They looked more like Muhammed Atta and his crew.

I lived in Montclair for 15 years and the place was full of bleeding-heart, pablum-puking liberals. Why am I not surprised?

Montclair? Isn't that where the "Cheaper By The Dozen" family was from?

We're going to pussyfoot around so as to not hurt anyone's feelings...until they attack us with REAL biological or nuclear warfare. Then we are going to whine about why don't they like us? Just like we always do.

[Republic of Texas]

Your attitude sir, is why they are going to nuke us FIRST. We have turned into a nation of wimps, and in the REAL world we currently have to deal with, wimps get killed or enslaved.
