Sadly.
It WILL take another attack,
and the reaction to that attack will set the stage only for chaos or enslavement.
If we jump back and concede to the islamists, they win. If we react by rounding them up for deportation the islamists have their 'proof' that we are at war with their so called relegion. If, as a public & not as a state, there followed a string of lynchings; the socialists and one worlders within the US win and the islamists get what they wanted anyway.
We, the conservatives or almost conservatives in American politics, are in the usual mode of waiting for something to react to.
Then we'll just have to lynch the socialists and one-worlders too!
But seriously, someone correctly wrote earlier on one of these threads that there are no rules in a real fight. Rules are for games.
In fact, if (in the event of an Islamic terrorist attack) Muslims were not rounded up for internment camps, then there would be lynchings. I have been told by folks who were there that the Japanese-American internment camps were in part for the protection of the Japenese from mobs bent on violence. The real sin was not the camps, but in confiscating and selling the property of loyal, productive American citizens of Japanese descent. It was immoral then, and would be immoral now regardless of who was being rounded up for the camps.
Proof that we are at war with their so-called religion ... in the minds of those who spin. In reality, it would be proof that we are at war with members of that religion who are using violence to convert non-Muslims. Because this would be a real fight, there would be no rules, i.e., there would be no such niceties as judging each Muslim on a case-by-case basis.
That last one is very simple, and though it is a fuzzy concept and differential now, it wouldn't be at all hard to understand for Americans who had seen, and perhaps had, American children and families and innocents killed in domestic terrorist attacks by Muslims. And those Americans would say, "To hell with with what the rest of the world thinks. These are our people being killed on our soil." I think you give WAY too much credit to Socialists and one-worlders in the U.S.: they are laughable, always have been, and would be even more laughable in the event of domestic terrorist attacks.
You are all doom and gloom. So, what reaction do YOU think would NOT set the stage for "chaos or enslavement"? Or are we doomed where we stand?
