She was right.
By my screen name you can tell I have a special interest in this matter. I think that about 90% of Muslims are technically innocent, although many of them they will have to do a lot more than they are to prove their loyalty. That is, most of them aren't turning in the terrorists and those that support them. It's public knowledge that the terrorists are liable to make another massive attack before our election this year, just as they did in Spain, to try to influence the vote. Please, whatever happens, remain law abiding.
In the first place, it's the right thing to do. In the second place, you could go to jail if you're caught. Finally, we don't want to alienate the innocent Muslims. We need people who look like Muslims and know the culture to root out the terrorists. The old saying is you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Besides, we need to convert them without violating their free will, not persecute them wholesale.
Proclamations like there are no innocent Muslims are counterproductive in the long term and needlessly inflammatory in the short term.
This is a cross-post due to the heated nature of many comments on various threads: By my screen name you can tell I have a special interest in this matter.

Well, maybe the families of these Muslim terrorists who get deported should solicit donations. I'm sure there would be plenty of people willing to drop some coins in a jar to pay their costs of leaving our country.
If you grew up here in the states you would be fluent in English, which you obviously are not. Or did you attend a publik skrewl?
What mosque do you attend? And how many of these "fanatical freaks of supposedly Muslims" have been expelled by the moderate members and turned over to the police?
I have read your other entries, lambchop. Even though you just signed up today, your unique style is very similar to others who have posted here in the past. So similar, in fact, I'm astonished.

200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children
to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead
because their legends tell of fire from the sky.
I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth,
shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines
because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters
crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.
I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with
"If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you",
and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obesience.
I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology
will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea
.. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.

Are you related to John Kerry? And congrat's on the ancestor who arrived a couple decades before the Mayflower. Was he Muslim?
It's not paranoia. Arabic Muslims killed 3,000 on Sept. 11. Arabic Muslims are cutting off the heads of Americans and other Westerners in Iraq in the wake of our nation trying to liberate them from a brutal dictator. Arabic Muslims are responsible for the 1993 WTC bombing; the USS Cole; the American embassies in Africa ... the list goes on.
That's not paranoia, it's history. If you truly condemn these actions and were raised as an American then you must be able to face the fact that Muslims in this country and around the world have a long way to go to regain trust. As long as Muslims are continuing to employ terror against the West I'm not interested in situations with depth and reality, I'm only interested in winning the war. And if that means deporting suspected terrorists who we don't have enough of a case to arrest and try, then I say deport them. If they're innocent, then they can go be innocent in their own countries. And if they're American born, they'd better act like it.
