Whats wrong with deporting Muslims who are not citizens from countries that are known to produce Islamic fundamentalists? Did you see the pictures of the 22 terrorists Bush wants. I don't remember seeing any Norweigans or New Zealanders on that list. They all looked like they were from North Africa, the Middle East or Central Asia.

I imagine such a process now would involve deporting immediatley all Saudi Arabians now in this country who are not citizens?

Like I said: think it through. Imagine that you are the guy in charge of the operation. Exactly how are you going to make it work?

First off, consider that the ones who're are most likely to do bad things, won't have the papers, or won't show up when and where you tell them to. In other words, you'll have to hunt them down. Can you reliably tell the difference between a Moslem, a Hindu, a Moroccan Christian, or a Mexican Catholic? You gonna start asking every dark-skinned person for their papers?

And would you deport all non-citizen Muslims, or just the Arab ones? Why? And if they're citizens, what then?

When all is said and done, what damage would you have done to our society in pusuit of this goal?

Yeah, well, using your mature logic: many God fearing Americans, native born, voters, veterans, and owning 'murican made automobiles, are aware of the horrible heathen evil intentions of Beijing Communists!
With your obvious name, you must be one of 'em so you get deported to Beijing in the first load!

This was Ann Coulter's argument. Not all Arabic Moslems are terrorists, but all terrorists are Arabic Moslems. So what does it matter if millions of innocents are punished as long as we get the few guilty?

I have two problems with this. First, I don't want a nation that punishes the innocent to get the guilty. I actually want the opposite. I want a nation that is so obsessed with protecting the innocent that we sometimes let the guilty loose.

Second is the precident. Just to give you a personal example, I have heard it suggested that all rapists should be castrated. Suppose this idea actually becomes law? Then suppose we want to protect women from being raped. Not all men are rapists but all rapists are men. How do you feel about that logic?

Shalom.
