Looking into the survey, we find... hey, the news media screwed the pooch again!

All Muslim Americans should be required to register their whereabouts with the federal government: 27%
Mosques should be closely monitored and surveilled by U.S. law enforcement agencies: 26%
U.S. government agencies should profile citizens as potential threats based on being Muslim or having Middle Eastern heritage: 22%
Muslim civic and volunteer organizations should be infiltrated by undercover law enforcement agents to keep watch on their actiities and fundraising: 29%
Agreed with none of the statements: 48%
Agreed with one statement: 15%
Agreed with two or more statements: 29%

Some of these things really stretch the definition of "restricting civil liberties". Is it a restriction on your civil liberties when law enforcement focuses on those who are statistically most likely to commit crimes?

That being said, some of these things are truly disturbing. Requiring registration with the federal governent based on religion? C'mon, this is America.

I'm also really curious how come the last three percentages don't add to 100%.

When the terrorism moves to WMD's, do you really think we will do any less than the Japanese during WW2? Wake up.
