Simple solution, don't come back.

Sorry, Mr. Get your Islamist friends to quit killing Americans, and we'll quit scrutinizing you.

Cry me a river!

Being Muslim is probable cause. Tough luck, jihadi.

"If an Anglo-Saxon male or female who's coming back into the country doesn't have to be fingerprinted, I see no reason why I have to be treated any differently."

I do, Aziz, and if you don't see why, then I (and millions of others) also see you as part of the problem. Take your fat head out of your arrogant @ss and try to see why your fellow Americans might have problems with you, your religion and your destination.

Dude, that battalion would be severely understaffed. If they could make a full platoon I'd be surprised.

ahwa ahwa ahwaaa

Life is tough and shi'ite happens.

I would have no problem with them fingerprinting and photographing every US citizen who is returning from a trip to Saudi Arabia in the last 2 weeks. Even the non-mooselimbs......

LOL, 'non-mooselimbs' has found its way into the FR spellchecker but 'mooselimb' hasn't! :)

Does the raised middle finger mean the same in Muslim countries as it means in the U.S.?

I prefer "moo slime" myself, it's more accurately descriptive.

[libs_kma]

If Muslims can't or won't police thier own then someone else will have to do it.

Whats that? They say it's not their job? Ok, then immigration, police and the military will do it. Now what were they whining about again?

[sheik yerbouty]

They are forbidden alcohol but love whine.

"I prefer "moo slime" myself, it's more accurately descriptive."

I've recently started using moo-slime also. I've even heard a few of my friends pick it up.

[Ready4Freddy]

Dunno, but I bet we'd find the answer if the twins could demonstrate the sign on national TV! ;>)

He DOSEN"T SEE WHY ? Is he kidding ..9/11 ring a bell moron ? If and Anglo Saxon NEEDED to be fingerprinted he would have to be as well.It's done for a reason , not to simply single people out .

[snowman1]

I find the word moo slime reprehensible when it is applied to an American citizen. If he has an American passport he should be free to enter without harrasment. I suppose there are those out there that would get a little uptight if I started talking about the Spagetti eaters going to Rome to see the high priest and getting stopped on the way home, it's the same difference.
