Although "arabs" may have been a poor choice of words, I agree in principle to "muslims" being restricted from visitor and student visas, as well, as revokation of citizenship for fraud.
Membership in terrorist organizations, or travel to terrorist countries would be a good criterion.
La Lydia, you do sound fringe. I would give you the kind of credibility in a debate that a liberal would get calling W. a Nazi. The camps worked in WWII right? I mean, let’s round up AMERICAN CITIZENS. Using the All Muslims = Bad logic is the same as the logic used to ban guns. Let’s ban them all! Sure we might take away the good guns, but we will get all of the bad ones too, right? Wouldn’t it work out perfect like that? No, it wouldn’t, just as the criminals would keep theirs, and sheepish law biding citizens would turn theirs in, the Muslims here to do harm would still be under the radar. Now Publius, when this place becomes so exclusive that I can’t share my 10 year junior registration date opinion, please bring it up then. At this point, it’s irrelevant, and an easy way to back out of an honest discussion. The media paints us as nutcases, do we really need to hand them the brushes? Our time and place in history is not to be wasted on knee jerk reactions.
