Okay alot of people have been spewing the same message as you and they've been asked the same follow up question to which they have NOT been able to answer, so I'll ask you.

What is YOUR solution for dealing with the terrorists, people who hate us, hate our freedoms, don't want to negotiate, have absolutely no interest in peaceful solutions, are so enraptured in their zealous religious beliefs that they feel people with DIFFERENT opinions than theirs should be killed, how else should they be dealt with?

I'll tell you right now I won't hold my breath for your answer because like the other PC peaceniks running around you don't have an answer.

Do you still feel superior now that a situation exists which there is ABSOLUTELY NO politically correct solution?

My solution is to go after them for all they're worth.

After they've committed an offense. Not before.

People in this country have the right to hate my guts and wish me dead. But until they take some action that proves they are a danger to me they may go free and I want them to go free.

It is one of the costs of a free society. I think the result is well worth the cost.

Shalom.

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.
