WASHINGTON (Dec. 1) -- When radio host Jerry Klein suggested that all Muslims in the United States should be identified with a crescent-shape tattoo or a distinctive arm band, the phone lines jammed instantly.
The first caller to the station in Washington said that Klein must be "off his rocker." The second congratulated him and added: "Not only do you tattoo them in the middle of their forehead but you ship them out of this country ... they are here to kill us."
Another said that tattoos, armbands and other identifying markers such as crescent marks on driver's licenses, passports and birth certificates did not go far enough. "What good is identifying them?" he asked. "You have to set up encampments like during World War Two with the Japanese and Germans."
At the end of the one-hour show, rich with arguments on why visual identification of "the threat in our midst" would alleviate the public's fears, Klein revealed that he had staged a hoax. It drew out reactions that are not uncommon in post-9/11 America.
"I can't believe any of you are sick enough to have agreed for one second with anything I said," he told his audience on the AM station 630 WMAL (http://www.wmal.com/), which covers Washington, Northern Virginia and Maryland

Tell you what, Reuters. You people in the UK would do well to emulate us in our anti-Muslim sentiment, if you don't want to end up like France.
I knew that. You missed my point.
I meant 'we' in the collective sense, as in 'we as a nation'.

1600 further ~ no doubt any invader who could readh California from a base of operations in the Philippines could make that last 20% of the way and hit DC Fur Shur.
Latino isn't a religion unless you mean "The Rock Church" ~ and that's Latino.
They most decidedly are not an 'ally'.
Who funded the 9-11 killers? In no small part it was members of the Saudi royal family. They're thugs, killers, anti-christian, and vicious virulent anti-semites.
They're no more our friends than Hitlers government was to us in 1938.

Just like people missed my point and started jumping all over my comment and reading more into it than was there. ;-)
One idiot didn't waste any time aligning me with the left. Another moron put words in my mouth.
I get tired of these overreacting drama queens.
Yes, I'm aware of that. Can't find where I said anything to the contrary. Are people just spoiling for arguments today? Weekends have everyone feeling bored? See, I don't get weekends, so I can't relate. I'll try to see if I can sympathize, though.
Sorry to keep asking these webpage questions, but there are continuing difficulties with making the page. Can you go, particularly if you use Internet Explorer, to http://www.freerepublic.com/~jedimasterpikachu/ and freepmail whether it looks organized or not to you. The width of the topic tables were set to 100% and the pixels of the non-table pictures were specified some minutes ago.
I contacted several of the Americans who were killed instantly when an airliner slammed into the WTC. They all agreed that nuking Iran and Syria was an excellent idea and that they'd be glad to push the button if only they hadn't been incinerated by islamofascists. They also thought the tattoo was great idea but should be done with a branding iron. They also suggested castration for all muslim males to stop the spread of islamofascism.
Anti-muslim?
This American is. Glad to see some of my fellow citizens can still reason anyway.
It is outrageous and insane that we still let muslims into this country ... legally.
That really is the fundamental question facing us. Is it central banks controlling commerce, or is it the people?
It's probably neither. I'd say large corporations with international reach.
I tire of them as well.
You made the point that not all muslims are evil. I'll grant you that. But that's not the issue. The issue is how many of them will support the ones who are evil.
And how many others will simply tolerate them being evil?
The circle widens a bit, doesn't it.
Then we'll ask how many of these other 'peaceful' muslims instead of just tolerating them will turn a blind eye to the activities of the evil ones?
I never meant to question your Americanism, and my comment certainly wasn't meant to be one. I hope you know me better than that.
But I'm beginning to wonder if more than just a little bit of 'overreaction' isn't precisely what we need.
You said earlier that not all muslims are evil and I grant the point. I'll point out that not all Germans were evil in 1943 and not all Japanese were evil in 1945.
That didn't stop us from reducing their major cities to rubble or from killing tens of thousands of civilians. It was necessary because the evil ones were running entire nations.
There's a rather ominous parallel between then and know.
There are some rather more ominous differences as well.
Neither Hitler nor Tojo had access to nuclear weapons.
The last time in world history some off his rocker nutball got his hands on the levers of power to a modern nation-state 30 million people died. What really sucks is that the whole world stood around with its collective thumb up its collective ass while the guy who was going to do it made no secret of his intentions.
Hell, he wrote a book about it. But only a few people listened and tried to warn the world.
Once the bodies were added up at the end of WWII the whole world, at least of a while anyway, said "Never again."
Well IMO "again" is happening right before our very eyes.
And this time those megalomaniacal tin pot murderous thugs have nukes.
We simply can't risk it. This psycho in Iran has come right out and said he'll nuke Israel when, not if, but when they get a bomb. He makes no secret of it.
We need to act and we need to do it sooner rather than later. And it needs to be a lesson so fearful that the tacit support network these 'people' have built up over the last 40 years never again dares to offer them a glass of water.
We all know where the problem is coming from. Irans a big deal, but the real source of what we're dealing with is Saudi Arabia.
Perhaps we can co-exist with other branches of islam, but wahabi needs to be destroyed root and branch. It's no better than the Thugee cult was during the Raj and it needs to be dealt with the same way.

I've read that there were camps for Germans in America similar to the Japanese internment camps, however they were located in the Midwest, were spread out in several states and had at most approximately 10,000 internees. These are not the German POW camps that were also stateside in the Midwest and the South. Anyone else know of the existence of these facilities?
Crystal City, Texas interned Germans. Ellis Island, NYC interned Italians.
Well, I don't know who's deciding the issues around here, but I made my point and I stand by it. There are too many ignorant bigots who think all of any group can be bad. I like to remind those types of the reality, even though they tend to go all drama queen and get bent out of shape about it.
I have not disputed any of your other points, so I don't know why you keep coming after me. It seems a lot of people want to argue today and are grasping at straws trying to find a good flamewar.
Presonally, I'm worn out today and just not in the mood for it. Good luck...there are plenty of contentious types around here who would love a good tangle. They'll show up. In fact, there are a few on this thread.
No doubt, but the banks are the monetary conduit.
As long as they control the money supply, no one is truly free.
Central banks are a necessity these days.
Who said it was? Why don't you try rereading the post I replied to and then mine. Now stop mixing that stuff in your coffee, way to early in the morning for wild turkey.
