"There's internment of foreign nationals and there's internment based on ethnic background and/or religious views. If you find the comparison of yours I used to be uncomfortable, perhaps you would like to retract it. "
I would not. Muslims view themselves members of the Ummah - the Muslim nation. In war, it is customary to sequester enemy aliens and their allies until hostilities have ceased.
This IS a war, regardless if YOU think it is.
"The survivors I know have never had any trouble distinguishing between the Nazis' death camps and their concentration camps. Sorry if that rains on your parade."
In current parlance, "concentration camp" is the same as a "death camp". I'm certain you know that well enough. An "internment camp" is entirely different. Unless you are going to continue to claim that our government was "Nazi" in the 40s... We have similar warnings as to the loyalties of Muslims now that we had naturalized Japanese back then. Muslims in this country have done NOTHING but whine and have disabused any reasonable notion that they don't in the end agree with bin Laden. Perhaps they disagree on method, but I KNOW CAIR is on the same page with bin Laden.

Apparently, the "current parlance" is not as unanimous as you think.

In any case, that's splitting hairs. You want to imprison Americans based on their religion and/or ethnicity. You have done nothing to earn our trust that you won't want to escalate your concentration camps into extermination camps. And, most tellingly, you've never denounced the idea. The silence is deafening.
