There were groups in the past that said the same thing about Catholics...

And who might these groups be...Muslims?

who said we were going to take their possessions?

You don't even understand how internments work, do you? or forced deportations for that matter?

If the internee/deportee is LUCKY they'll be given a few minutes to take what they can carry; all other possessions are considered abandoned and dealt with accordingly.

You're wasting your time, of course. There are scads of people here on FR who don't give a fig about intelligent thought, when knee-jerk bigotry and prejudice will do with a lot less effort.

But welcome on board anyway, voice of reason.

It was one heck of alot different, IMHO.

They are remarkably similar, IMHO.

An airborne attack on an uninvolved country killed thousands of innocents in about an hour.

The only real difference is that one was by a formally recognized country, while the other was by an international movement. There are world-scale forces at work which are not countries.

I engage in discussion with such scatterbrained rabble for two reasons:
- hone my own arguments for more worthy occasions
- point out to twits that there are certain lines in concrete.

Thanks for the support. Sometimes I wonder if it's there.

Strictly speaking, true. Thing is, nearly all Muslims (regardless of origin) have not made such attempts and have no inkling to...yet some people here want to punish them all anyway.

Only the jihadists among them. Will American Muslims renounce the jihad ? Will they renounce the Code of Omar? It would be a good litmus test.

No, it's there. It's just that it takes time and thought to frame reasoned responses to knee-jerking like "All Ragheads must go!"

The fact that they simply sound like mirror-side versions of jihadists doesn't seem to occur to them.

They love hearing themselves say the stupid things they say. They're easily amused.

The Highway Patrol described the suspects as being of Middle Eastern descent,. They were last seen driving eastbound in either a bronze or copper-colored Dodge Neon. The car has New Jersey license plates; the registration is unknown.

prolly had a tennessee driver's license and a bumper sticker that said: "I'd rather be flying." too!

Seems the leaders are in Florida and New Jersey. My guess is Miami, not Tampa, but we'll see. Tampa might have had the intellectual elite (USF), but that's yet to be proven. The first group of terrorist were closer to Miami. Phone records are too easy, so they probably lived near their leaders. If in fact there are many other "sleepers," they'll have to be close too. The question is: where do large numbers of middle eastern men meet without attracting notice? There would have to be women as decoys, and a social setting to draw attention from the obvious. I'll go with ethnic entertainment. Singers and actors from the middle east. Or, small store owners where people naturally come and go in the process of commerce. Thank God for Ashcroft and friends, they'll safeguard us.

There's that New Jersey again. They seem to be set up there and travel the East corridor between there and Florida. 44 posted on 2/13/02 11:38 AM Pacific by tallhappy

So far, I have not heard many American Muslims denounce the acts of their brothers.

Yes...Tallhappy,

New Jersey is Loaded with..."The Enemy"!

In fact we are surrounded on ALL sides with them!

One must "wonder" How on Earth did these people get into our: Country, State and Communities?

Who was Sleeping and NOT minding the Store?

We are only beginning to see the very tip of the Iceberg.

Unfortunately...We will have to Suffer more Loss, and even Greater Loss, until "WE" ALL Wake Up and put an end to this Islamic Insanity.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, and again and again...Round UP ALL of the Illegals and DEPORT them IMMEDIATELY.

ID each and every one of them...Photos, Fingerprints & DNA!

If individual cases cannot be resolved Immediately there are always alternatives like: Detainee Camps!

REMEMBER what our President said..."If You are not With US, then You are Against US".

It's way past time for AMERICA to...WAKE UP!

MIAMI (AP) - The owner of a truck driving school says three Middle Eastern men came to him the afternoon of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and demanded rushed training for hauling hazardous materials. Albert Hanley III, the owner of CDL School Inc., said FBI agents visited his Palm Beach County school on Thursday and Friday after he called them to report the men. Federal and state officials have been checking hazardous material haulers, fearing that terrorists could next launch a chemical or biological attack.
