Considering nobody knew, especially the 'terrorists, the buildings would collapse. It probably means the FBI doesn't have much to go on.

They knew the buildings would collapse, or at least made an educated guess that they would. Your post is in error.

[Concentrate]

I think you should call the FBI and tell them what you know.

Dr. Laura Schleisinger(sp?) brought a muslim cleric on her show to take calls last week. Even though he was asked point blank he refused to say that the muslim faith does not sanction these murderous acts. I have yet to hear ANY muslim actually state, unequivocally, that the attack on 9-11 was immoral or otherwise procribed by muslim law as stated in the koran. Oh sure, they "Deplore" this "Regrettable" or "Shocking" event. But they won't come straight out and say that thier faith prohibits such acts nor will they comdemn the actions of the terrorists nor state that such acts are prohibited in thier faith.

It's the same thing that the university professors are trying to tell us. Maybe we should bomb our own universties. It would help, because that is where our domestic enemies lie. Just do it on my day off, OK?

I'll say this, I don't believe a lot of Americans will just sit idle if Arabs are causing a lot of problems in this country. Will we just let them kill our children and then just look the other way? Will we leave a less secure nation for our children? I don't know about you but I won't sit idle. There won't be many more terrorists attacks before citizens take action.

We can forget about being politically correct if a group of people threaten the future of our nation. I don't think many of us will take a lot more.

PC will fly out the window if this continues.

If you think they didn't have structural engineers
that had calculated the effect of that much jet fuel
on the towers then think again.  Just because we
didn't know what we were doing doesn't mean
they didn't know what they were doing.

This, as well as the artwork showing the airplane crash in the WTC, makes me think that a SIZABLE portion of the (hereto assumed) innocent arabic community, has been "in the know" about the effort to destroy the USA

And I wonder what they know about this latest threat!!

[Travis McGee]

The sleeper agent terrorists in the USA are the radical islamist "cruise missiles" forward deployed on our land.

The "moderate islamic community" in the USA is the "forest" that these human missiles are hiding in.

In wartime, which is what we are in today, we don't allow forests to conceal our enemies' heavy weapons, we burn down or defoliate the forest. That's war.

This is war.

[Ed_in_NJ]

I'd like to echo Concentrate, and urge you to call the FBI with this -- 866-483-5137.

How nice. You're talking about millions of American citizens. How are you going to "defoliate" that "forest"? Are you going to force them all to convert to Christianity by law? But even then, you probably won't trust their sincerity. I guess you'll have to kill them.

And even then, the terrorists will be able to blend into the Arab American communities. That's a forest, too. Now you are talking about something like 10 million American citizens. Are you going to kill them, or just put them in concentration camps? And since most Arab Americans are of mixed race, how will you decide who's a tree and who's merely a bit of undergrowth? Are you going to use the "one drop" rule?

I submit that your mindset is a greater threat to America BY FAR than terrorism. The terrorists just want to destroy our lives. You want to destroy our freedom.

I propose a slightly different idea. We should simply monitor those mosques we believe are spreading anti-American hate. Pay informants, tap phones, etc. I think another mistake people are making is thinking that most ARabs in this country are Muslim, when in fact, most are Christian or secularists.

So I say, monitor those you suspect closely, expel non-citizens who even give the slightest reason for suspicion, and arrest and assassinate operatives worldwide.

In the long run though, we must stand on guard against the Islamic tide. That's a given. Look at Europe. They can't sneeze without offending their Muslim communities.

[harpseal]

Prior knowledge means that one is a coconspirator and subject to all the penalties. Time to start talking or face a life in a max security federal penitentiary and or the bitter end of a rope.

Right. But that hasn't stopped a frightening number of Freepers from suggesting internment camps for Arab Americans.

So I say, monitor those you suspect closely, expel non-citizens who even give the slightest reason for suspicion, and arrest and assassinate operatives worldwide.

Thank you for talking sense. We can defend our lives and our Constitution at the same time by doing as you suggest.

(If I have to choose between the two, however, I will defend the Constitution.)

[Koblenz]

I wonder if any students in the DC area were bragging that the Capitol and/or White House would be destroyed. Because the terrorists planned for these buildings to be destroyed as well. Of course, if some student made this claim, no one would even think of it now

[muleskinner]

I am having difficulty digesting a comment made to my brother by a guy from Yemen

What's your brother's relationship with the "guy from Yemen"? Co-worker, or what? Just curious.

Regardless, this is definitely worthy of a call to the FBI. Could be big. Keep us posted on developments. Thanks

[Travis McGee]

I am NOT advocating that course of action which you describe, I am stating certain "facts of life of war".

If there are no more 9-11 level events, nothing like what YOU said will come to pass.

If more 9-11 level attacks occur, and the terrorists' tracks AGAIN lead directly through the mosques, cultural centers and islamic foundations, THEN we will certainly consider the internment or deportation of all arab moslem NON CITIZENS. To do less would be to commit national suicide, elevating PC over survival.

If a "hyper 9-11 event" occurs, such as a suitcase nuke going off in an American city, and AGAIN the trail leads directly through the "moderate islamic community", then far more draconian methods will be used. I don't advocate this, I am trying to make you aware of the "facts of life" of national survival.
