Seems a lot of people here will believe anything that is printed...as printed.

It's always questionable with any story by AP, or that involves universities like Cornell (WHO took the survey at Cornell...Muslim students, maybe? What were the ACTUAL questions asked??)

They could have asked loaded questions based on highly narrow circumstances, and then put them all under "the US government should restrict the Civil Liberties of Muslim Americans".

I doubt VERY seriously that ANY -- but a few freaks -- would answer yes to the proposition that "the US government should restrict the Civil Liberties of Muslim Americans". As far as registering where they live, we all do that through a hundred diferent way with federal, state and local governments. Also, the FBI can -- and does -- infiltrate groups that are seen as to potentially pose a danger all the time, with all kinds of groups...to find if they really pose a danger.

Apparently a number of FReepers believe that's OK. For the record let me dissociate myself from them. And yes freaks is a good term.
