Racists and Fools?

Asking you to go home after a death in my family is not a punishment.

By the same token, punishing peaceful people who have done nothing wrong is ... well, Stalinist.

[ArGee]

The Muslim world already hates us because we are intelligent and hardworking and therefore rich, while they are lazy and stupid and therefore poor.

Despite this highly illogical and racist comment, your position should not be considered racist?

Shalom.

[BnBlFlag]

You are part of the problem, not the solution.

[r9etb]

The Muslim people are, on majority, irrationally murderous.

LOL!!!!! If they were irrationally murderous, then they'd all be killing everybody, everywhere. But they're not doing that. Most of them are just common folks who want to be left alone.

[clintonh8r]

You're really enjoying being the scold aren't you? I'm betting you were a hall monitor in school. Well, you've certainly established your moral superiority. We're all dazzled.

[Revolting cat!]

Since we all agree that sumping must be done by sumbody, I have an idee-err to throw into the ring. Why, perhaps it deserves its own thread. (See thread title suggestion at the bottom.)

Following the example of airport security forces which treat little old ladies from Pasadena with the same disrespect as Arab nationals between the ages of 20 and 35, I suggest that we establish ethnically diverse internment camps for the duration of this war, which (the camps) in the immortal words of x42 "look like America". No ethnic profiling, no redlining, all classes, all races, all religions, all neighbourhoods, all ages represented. Fat people, thin people, short people, Estonian-Americans, Andorran-Americans, football players and futbol players, all proportionally represented. Let's use the latest census data as a guide to the make up of these camps. Ebryboddy will be made equally happy, ebryboddy including the ACLU, will make themselves equally unhappy. And then, we'll just apologize after 50 years.

United States of Absurdity!

“Muslim” is not a race.

[Doctor Stochastic]

There have been calls for bombing population centers (as primary, not collateral targets) and for bombing the refugees leaving Afghanistan.

Please check your history. When Americans were taken hostage during Jimmy Carter's presidency, all non-Americans on student visa' from Iran/Iraq were deported. But, that was long before today's "Politically Correct" pacifists. What we encountered on September 11th is an act of war. Until such time as we Americans can feel safe again we need to do everything necessary to close the borders, including deporting people of a certain "profile" who are not citizens. One big problem with deporting Muslims on student visa's is the left leaning schools of higher learning that will lose significant cash flow if said students are deported. Watch over the next few weeks, you will soon see the protesters from these schools protesting the war. We have and will be spilling the blood of innocents so that they can have free speech to protest. Finally, I will add the link for Ann Coulter's article "Don't Just Profile, Deport"....she says it best... http://www.frontpagemagazine.com/columnists/coulter/ac10-05-01.htm

LOL! How so?

[brotherwolf]

How can anyone stand in defence of illegal aliens ? Anyone that cannot prove they have a legal right to stay in this country should be deported, period. Regardless of race or religion. By definition, these people have broken the law, why do think they won't do it again. Deport them, NOW !

"Unpleasant Necessities"

In this piece, I was particularly happy to see you point out a pro-liberty message from 9.11

Knowledge and freedom will trump tyranny every time. The passengers on the Pennsylvania flight were free and had the knowledge to make the decision they made. They sacrificed their lives to save others, as most would do in a free country.

[ez2muz]

r9etb,

Yesterday, on another thread, you called me a Nazi. I asked you to base your claim on ANYTHING I had said.

Not only have you not answered me - you cannot answer me appropriately.

Are posts like the one where you called me a Nazi the types of posts you are refferring to here in this thread?

btw, I'm still waiting for you defend your accusation.

[WRhine]

By the same token, punishing peaceful people who have done nothing wrong is ... well, Stalinist.

Only a politically correct whacked-egg would equate rightful deportation with mass genocide. You are way out in left field.

[Conagher]

I am in wholehearted agreement. The reaction you have stated unfortunately proves that conservatives can be knee-jerky as well. It's really too bad that people exist with the "we oughta kick out ev'ryone who ain't a God-fearin' white folk like me" attitude on these boards.

[Egregious Philbin]

You forgot the frequent use of the phrase "towelhead" to describe anyone of Arab descent, r9. I can think of no excuse for that.

And also the frequent jokes about "pork bombs" and such. The reason bombing Mohammed's grave or Mecca is a ridiculous idea is that it would turn public opinion in every Islamic countries against us and expand our problem. The same goes for the "pork bombs". The attack on the WTC was not an attack on a holy site. We should not give bin Laden the holy war, a war of religions, that he wants.

Finally, an attempt to answer the question of what would be better than deporting all Muslims or Muslims with visas. Many Muslims in this country with visas are in school or have come to gain employment in a specific field. Many are here because they had the wealth to come here, and are moderate enough that the U.S. does not present a threat to their beliefs. Religious fervor is more of an affliction of the poor. Many Muslims with money, with the obvious exception of bin Laden, are closer to Westerners than to their own people. Witness the quick support of the wealthier Arab countries. Also, turning all Muslims with visas away would only increase the ranks of anti-American Muslims. We can prove ourselves better than our attackers in our tolerance of people's religion and nationality. Your seem to lump all Muslims together, FEDUP, and I think it's important for us to distinguish between them.

Finally, by not deporting Muslims who are here for legitimate reasons or are citizens, we can have them as a resource. Many Muslims who have come over to work or learn have valuable skills and knowledge. We can "keep them where we can see them", if you'd like.

[Joe Hadenuf]

"Before you suggest we deport Moslems, think about what we'd have to do to make that happen".

If we were attacked again and lost 10,000 more innocent Americans would you still support the above postion? How about 20,000 more dead Americans. How about a million more dead Americans pal?

War is hell and not business or PC as usual.

[wideawake]

You can apply the overused and meaningless PC term "racist" as freely as you desire. It doesn't bother me.

You're also free to name for me one important Arabic technological accomplishment or one Arabic country that has a large and well-behaved middle class.

[SauronOfMordor]

Expulsion of non-citizen Muslims is not racist, since Muslims come in all colors and flavors. We would not be expelling non-Muslim Indians, even though they are the exact same color as the Central-Asian Muslims.

We would be expelling them because being a serious Muslim is incompatible with being a loyal American.

It would be comparable to, in the 1940s, expelling any alien who was a member of the Nazi party, or in the 1950s-60s any alien who was a member of the Communist party

[Joe Hadenuf]

I am sick of anti-American screw worms.
