re: Manzanar, WWII. We did'nt have any incidents of Japanese sabatage on U.S. soil did we? I do know that there were German merchant marine sabatuers who caused havoc in N.J.
There were ten people convicted as Japanese spies during World War II. None of them were of Japanese ancestry.

Don't bring a Neon to a Tanker fight

Unless your Neon mounts a Ma Duece or at least a .30 cal machine gun of some sort.

you're predicating your "All muslims are terrorists" based upon your perception that "all terrorists are muslim"

all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. the logic itself is faulty, even if I grant your premise

This is akin to "Kill them all, let God sort them out"

I don't defend Muslims, or terrorists, I am merely decrying racism, which you are advocating by definition

have you noticed that most of these "muslims" either came from western countries, or were educated here? Maybe we're polluting them!

in any event, we're not gonna solve this here, all I ask is to sheath the hate, and save it for the right people,

Perry said the incident was at first treated as possible terrorist attempt, but later in the day FBI investigators and the State Highway Patrol agreed that they were not sure if it was anything more than road rage. But the Highway Patrol has been broadcasting a radio message to local police this afternoon to be on the lookout for a Dodge Neon with N.J. tags "driven by two Arabic males." The message warned that the men should be "armed and dangerous."
How did the driver decide they were "Arabic" inside a closed car from an eighteen wheeler, as opposed to Italian, Greek, or even Asian?

I don't know. All we have is this guy's say-so. From up in his rig he was able to determine that this little Neon contained two armed Arabic men, but he didn't manage to get a license plate number.

I'm going to need more information before I believe this.

Others see it as sufficiently convincing to call for throwing Arabs into concentration camps. Go figure.

IIRC, there were a few attempts after Pearl Harbor (which was not all that different from WTC).

It was one heck of alot different, IMHO. PH was the military forces of one country attacking those of another. The attack was not actually supposed to commence before an ultimatum was given, but as it turned out it did. The WTC attack was on civilians of a country not at war. Those doing the attacking were not military people, but rather wacko members of a violent, yet state supported, cult.

There is no demonstrable "benefit" to having Muslims in this nation that outweighs the danger that Islam presents in this nation.
Bovine excrement with flies.

There were groups in the past that said the same thing about Catholics. Quite aptly, they were called the "Know Nothings".

Catholics, Jews, Irish, Blacks, or any of the others you say could be "replaced" in that statement have not demonstrated themselves as a threat to our nation.

There are a lot of people who do believe that. Ask any supremicist.

They have not blown up airlines, crashed airlines into buildings, driven trucks loaded with explosives into our Marine barracks or American embassies, or boats loaded with explosives into our Naval vessels.

Neither have nearly all Muslims.

You're condemning an entire race and a major world religion based on the acts of a few dozen people.

Every single one of these attacks was perpetrated by Muslims from either Saudi Arabia or Yemen.

Yet you called for the internment/expulsion of all Muslims. Considering that practically every Saudi or Yemenite is Muslim, and that relatively few Muslims are Saudi or Yemeni, perhaps you'd like to at least rephrase your argument to deporting Saudis and Yemenies?

Your argument is that "all Muslims aren't terrorists" but I rebuke you. All terrorist acts that I laid out were committed by Muslims.

I did NOT say that "all Muslims aren't terrorists", I said that "not all Muslims are terrorists" - there's a big difference.

That all terrorist acts mentioned were done by Muslims does not mean all Muslims are terrorists, any more than observing that certain cows are white does not mean all white animals are cows. You're falling into one of the most classically absurd examples of misunderstanding logic.

We should round up every Muslim here on Visas and deport them all. Yesterday.

Even if they're not from Saudi Arabia or Yemin?

You are wrong. And your almost infantile level of naivety about "innocence" and "rights" and "evil" would make me laugh if it wasn't so touchingly pitiful in a way.

"On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament!], `Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." -- Charles Babbage

Likewise, I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that lead you to seek deportation of a great many innocents based on the actions of a tenuously-related very few.
