Are you seriously suggesting that the safety of all Americans be placed in jeopardy to spare the feelings of those non-radical, peaceful Muslims?

Yes, I am, if "guaranteeing" our safety includes the process of watching the activities of all Muslims. It's called freedom. The last time I checked, some of the "all Americans" includes Muslims.

I take it you are not a non-radical, peaceful Muslim, are you?

And what of the the freedom from the threat of being blown to smithereens or being obliterated in the flaming wreckage of a downed airliner, is this not also a vital civil liberty?

The measures used to investigate suspected terroristrs are no more intrusive than those used to investigate suspected white-collar criminals.

The Muslim jihadists and those advocating for them invoke civil liberties in order to be in a position to eliminate them at a later time.

I don't know about you, but I have friends in family in the military and I don't want them wondering if their buddy next to them is an enemy soldier. National Security is more important than diversity.
