We are doing this because we are at war with terrorists who happen to be Arab Muslims who entered our country on the same pretext you did and killed 5,000 people. Get used to it.

[Capitalist Eric]

Civil rights activists say the action constitutes racial profiling.

That's exactly right.

After all, they're NOT citizens, and as we're in a state of war, don't get to enjoy the rights of citizens.

Where should I send the cheese, that goes with the whine....?

[NativeNewYorker]

All these fine, upstanding citizens can move to the muslim nation of their choice, where they and their womenfolk can enjoy the full range of Islamic rights.

[goldstategop]

Amen. Racial profiling is not discrimination. The terrorists were not named Smith or Cohen or Shemimatsu. There are valid grounds to investigate men of Middle Eastern descent to deter future terrorist atrocities. If Muslims are outraged at the U.S Justice Department's policy its time for them to pack their bags and move to where they won't be profiled. All the same this country will take all steps necessary to win the war upon terrorism and that includes tools in our arsenal like racial profiling. Its a new world now.

Memo to Hana Soleh, Naja whatever, Mohammed et al: If you are the great Americans you claim to be, how about a cheer for stringing up binLaden and his merry band of dirtbags from the nearest lamp-post? If not, why not? Phoney pack of whores and scoundrels, if you ask me.

"We are doing this because we are at war with terrorists who happen to be Arab Muslims who entered our country on the same pretext you did and killed 5,000 people. Get used to it."

I did not realize that a formal declaration of war had been made. Did I miss something?

[blam]

All the terrorists who were on board the planes that struck the WTC and the Pentagon were Muslims. That's a profile they created. Tough s#it! (I'd have them in internment camps or something more serious)

[denydenydeny]

These people are living in the same pre-9/11 dream world that they'd love for us to go back to, a world in which the worst thing you could do to another person is "offend" them.

Memo to identity-politics fetishists: 9/11 reminded us that there are worse things than being offended.

[pray4liberty]

Now hear this: the Justice Department is law enforcement. They are interviewing these men because they might either know something, or know someone involved. If they are smart, they will speak up. This is what police work and investigations are about. To pin this on racial profiling is pathetic and will only serve to encourage more terrorism.

"Muslims outraged at Justice Department"

I am sill waiting for Muslims outrage over 9/11

[caisson71]

Head'em up, move'em out! You don't mess with Bush.

[nmh]

If they don't like then

GO HOME and STAY THERE!

Keep your evil religion and ways in your own country!

Muslims outraged at Justice Department

Well, then move back to the Middle East.

[Righty1]

The fact that arab-"american" muslims are outraged that we want to defend ourselves against non-citizens is the last straw for me. Looking at the enormous hit to our economy of all of this post attack security I have a question; are arab muslims worth this much trouble? (Will we sink if we have fewer 7-11's and donut shops?) I am sick of the Saudi oil blackmail as well. That regime has killed itself by subsidizing Wahabbi Jihads so it is when not if!

[paul51]

The louder they whine, the more I suspect them. They have no allegiance to this country and I don't believe anything they say. F*** em.

[Draco]

Some lawyer "represents several men who were questioned shortly after the attacks and are now jailed on immigration charges." The INS is a "service" within the Justice Department. The only reason needed is a reasonable suspicion that immigration laws have been violated. Note how quickly this fact is brushed over by the author. Deport terrorist sympathizers and accomplices.

[kdf1]

If someone gave my generic profile a bad name I would participate in their demise. I think the Muslims should be lining up to denounce terrorists and to give information that might help identify the terrorists.

[Congressman Billybob]

So the Muslims are upset that groups such as elderly caucasion women from Des Moines are not being interviewed in order to find other terrorists? Here's the deal, this will make everyone happy.

The F.B.I. can delegate to the Muslim organizations the "investigation" of up to 20,000 white-haired old ladies. They can file reports in triplicate to the F.B.I. about all the terrorists they find. The little old ladies will appreciate the attention. And not one minute of agents' time will be spent looking for terrorists WHERE THERE AREN'T ANY.

Glad I could be of service.

[nonliberal]

Do we now have another crynority group?

[WRhine]

Earlier interviews seemed to be just that, he said, "Stupid questions like, 'What do you think of American civilization?' and 'Why do you pray five times a day?'

I'd like to know the answers to those questions too. Their customs are alien to the American way. If they don't like their STAY in the U.S. then LEAVE!

[BunnySlippers]

Arabs and Muslims expressed outrage Friday at the U.S. Justice Department's plan to interview 5,000 young male foreigners

We can solve this by shipping them all back where they came from with no questions asked.
