Oh, I agree, they should definitely be put into quarantine.

Nation of Islam has been around for a long time, but they've become more dangerous now that they are semi-accepted by more traditional Muslims. The problem is that Islam itself is a violent ideology, and while it may go underground for awhile when it feels powerless, as soon as it feels it has a chance, it bursts out again (kind of like the worm in Dune...). We're at one of those moments now, unfortunately for us.

I'm with you about the Worm in Dune. ;> I do see declining support for NOI. Early 90s, I was sweating bullets. And then when former Pres Clinton gave $1million to NOI for "policing", I was darned near flippin out; given where I was living.

I think NOI is now more DISLIKED than ever before, Islamofascists kinda ripped the smiley face off of NOI. And various bizarre acts. Like beating up and vandalizing liquor stores in Oakland.. Whatever can be said about this remergence group of Carry Nation calling itself NOI, the backlash will even come from limosine liberals who like their vino, cosmos, and manhattans.

In re quarantining feminists. It can't be done. Roe V Wade is law. But people, of their own free will, can choose to not act upon ROE v Wade. And perhaps one day, some legislator will decide it's high time to clean the lawbooks of old outdated laws against not curbing your horses, and such.

Try not to worry, livius. I keenly understand your concerns. It is a "moment", indeed. And this very moment is what the past 5 years have led up to. And there will be more such moments. Imagine what Europe thought observing the birth of the United States. And observing its baby steps. They were so sure, I'll wager, it might not happen, and it might not survive. But it did. And Lady Liberty in NY still lights our shores, now sans the Twin Towers.

We'll never forget, will we.
