There is an arab family that lives three houses down, they are Palistinian, they are also Christians and Americans
And since the 11th have faced constant harrasment.
There is no justifacation for harasment and threats based upon religion let alone race, if Americans cave in and fight one another, the terrorists win
Muslims come in all differant races, if we start terrorizing arabs as national policy, the terrorists will send over europeans or asians, there are no shortage of fanatics in Malaysia or the Balkans to recruit
This is a time for Americans to unite behind the president, it isn't a time for Americans to fight one another because of religion or race.
Personally, I think most of Annies rantings deserve the Barf Alert caption, as do most of your responces.
Anne's ridicule of this idiotic procedure is right on target. We got these questions from the security agents for El Al. But they don't just ask these questions. They give anyone suspicious a 2 hr grilling at the gate, looking for signs of nervousness and inconsistency. They know what they are doing and know what is at stake. It is a whole lot more sophisticate than these idiotic "is that a nuke in your pocket or are you just happy to see me" kinds of questions?
If we were inundated by a hoard of Scandanavian terrorists it would be legitimate to scrutinise closely the actions of those with Scandanavian backgrounds - and my family would be in those cross hairs. Guess what - I would stand up and denounce radical Scandanavian terrorism [ok ok, we Vikings committed our share in times of yore] and would dedicate myself to rooting out this blight on my heritage.
Who is seriously proposing this as policy?
Or did you just use that term for effect (hyperbole)?
I am sure I don't care what you think about me and Ann I know doesn't even read what her commie/socialist readers say about her.
GO ANN YOU ARE SMOKING THEM ALL OUT.
Well actually I think most lefties feel this is a time to cower under a rock, or surrender. BTW, does Chelsea have her draftcard yet? Surely Hitlery and Linda Bloodless Thomason's(sp?)band of Zena Warrior Princesses, Dark Angels, Buffy slayers, etc. can do the job so all the weak cookie baking "men of the 90's" can stay home.
"Please Mr. Terrorist, don't hurt me, we'll do what you ask"!
To everything there is a season.
I don't believe anyone is advocating expelling ACTUAL Americans, whether they be Muslim, Arab or whatever...just the "guests" that are here illegally. I wholeheartedly concur. If the Arabs and Muslims who are citizens in this country would be honest about what they know of their homelands, they would be for the expulsion of these "guests" and illegals too.
