It's a small world. I've defended Mormon relatives in the past. There are those who would treat you the same as you want to treat Muslim citizens. Did you know that? There is a defined enemy in this war, and it's not individual defenseless Muslims living in this country and yes, if you ask me if I would "nuke 'em" if there's one case of smallpox in this country, my answer would be "yes." Yes, in a New York minute. And maybe for much less than smallpox. I'm sick of the evil ones.

But if you want to know if I'll join a group to beat up some Muslim citizen and kill his children while when he's in a Mall parking lot, then my answer is NO. NO. NO. NO.

I hope I am not coming across as advocating violence. I am saying that they *will* be the objects of violence as time goes on if they don't make their position clearer. This is a prediction, not any kind of wish. However, action and inaction have consequenes and I think the Muslims ought tob e able to foresee the results of their silence as well as I can.

I tried to adopt a kitten during the month of October and because he had some black fur, I wasn't permitted to, because of a "Halloween Hold" on all "black" kittens. Because there are people out there sick enough to torture a kitty just because it is October--and pay $45 to do so--I was not able to adopt this kitten. It got sick in the shelter and was euthanized. That kitten was deprived of a loving home and its life because of the POSSIBILITY that it might be tortured. THIS WAS NOT **MY** choice nor was it a choice I endorse.

I would not endorse people going out and beating up on Muslims. However, just like that animal shelter with its policy, I know that other people are going to start making decisions like, "THis guy looks suspicious and he MIGHT be about to kill me; I'm gonna get him first." It's going to happen. W did a tremendous job restraining it, but the Muslims didn't follow through.

I'm not going to risk my life, my property, or my family when this backlash starts; at least, I won't be defending adults who could have worked to prevent this. They have a grace period here, and they're not using it.

The enemy within our borders isn't any less our enemy; in fact, I think it's considerably more dangerous than anyone in a cave in Afghanistan or a lab in Iraq.
