This is no surprise. Tyranny and hatred for non-Muslims is endemic in the religion. Many American Muslims carry this hatred secretly until their passions get the better of them and it boils out, as seen in this incident. Those seditious Muslims should be preemptively interred. We cannot wait for a smoking hole in the ground and thousands of dead to be our only proof of disloyalty. In wartime conditions, intent is enough. The flag-burning and threatening speech is adequate proof of more dangerous intent.

Loyal Muslims should remain free. The Japanese internment of WWII was unfortunate and unjust in that the internment was wholesale. We made little effort to distinguish between loyal and dangerous Japanese. That mistake of our past should not cause us to abandon internment as a necessary instrument for the safety of the American people.

The debate should not be about pre-emptive internment, per se, but about how it can be done without violating the rights of loyal and non-dangerous American Muslims.

'..the flag burning and threatening speech is adequate proof of more dangerous intent..'

Interesting. On another FR thread about Iowa Sen. King seeking to pass amendment against flag burning...many freepers who posted on thread believed this was not a good thing and flag burning was part of freedom of speech. one even suggested, if this passed, he/she would burn a flag. hmmm, if this is how freepers feel, what can be expected from others?
