Are you afraid? I mean do you actually feel more scared?.

Also, this is a question for anyone. I am just curious.

To be honest, the thought of flying for 3 or 4 hours without a book or an iPod frightens me more than the thought of the plane blowing up.

No.

But I'm probably not a good measuring stick on that.

Not afraid. Just cold hard-eyed desire to put these (popular epithet of the day) in constraint and remove them from any contact with society.

If that involves execution on sight, fine. It would certainly involve very sharp profiling aimed at EVERYBODY who claims a connection with Islam.

Islam grew and developed in relative isolation for a long time, before it became the cancer on humanity it is today. The more I think about it, the less tolerant I am of religions that preach such arrogant and intolerant views of the world, that none but their own may exist. Somehow, the Muslims have never been advised of the deep wisdom of the Golden Rule, "Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you." Note that there is no religious test to be followed here, or is anything asked of the individual that is beyond the ability to accomplish.

Here is a clause, from the Koran (40 Hadith of an-Nawawi 13), "Not one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother what he desires for himself." But keep in mind, that if someone is not a Muslim, then the concept of "brotherhood" does not apply.

Unless we feel terror they have failed. Afraid or scared just doesn't cut it. You can tell if you feel terror by the way the hair stands up on the back of the neck and you scream without realizing it.

No, I'm not afraid. I used to fly 100% for about 8 years, and am local right now. But, if anything, I think my basic emotion would be more of annoyance.
