So what? They're all dead, and there's been no further terrorist attacks. But the question I have for you is, how would this proposal for mass deportations protect the US? Because as we've repeatedly seen these people don't need to be within your borders in order to succeed in their missions. I'd say the sheer unfairness of it would be more likely to inspire a terrorist attack, and inflame a new set of enemies.

What? According to the Pentagon, Al Queda alone still has some 70,000-100,000 terrorists around the world. The U.S. has plenty of work ahead in taking out the other nests of terrorism around the globe. Seems like you want America to make a declaration of victory over terrorism because we mopped up the nests in Afghanistan and go back to business as usual. The same sort of complacency that led to 9/11 to begin with.

And are you trying to say that if we deport all the Muslims here in the U.S. on visas that terrorism in the U.S. would not significantly decline? That would be like saying if someone quit smoking while still young and healthy that it would have no impact on the chances of getting lung disease than if they kept on smoking. Well perhaps if our immigration policies don't change soon one might as well be a 3 pack-a-day smoker because it won't make any difference when one of these terrorist networks find a way to sneak WMDs in this country.

As for your comment that deporting Muslims would "inspire" a terrorist attack...that could happen as it would be in keeping with the characteristics that defines Muslims. The good news is that after they are gone we won't have to worry much about terrorism on these shores anymore.

This is an emotional topic. It’s unfair of you to muddle up the argument with logic.

No, I haven't said that. What I did say is that injustice can breed more trouble than it solves. Despite all Al-Qaeda's calls for jihad nothing has happened- except for one nutcase trying to light his shoe with a match. So what's all this stuff about 'thousands of terrorists' and the threat from within? The fact is most of the world's Muslims obviously won't rise up and don't follow Bin Laden's orders.
