Round them up. Ship them out. The enemy within.

I work (and have worked) with a fair number of Muslims.
Mostly foreign-born and immigrated from places like Bangladesh, Pakistan,
and the Emirates.

I (and my brother and a cousin who also have had the same experience) have gotten along
famously with these folks. Probably because we come from a conservative, no-illicit drugs,
nearly no alcohol, and BORING moderate lifestyles from our Christian indoctrination.

BUT, since 9-11, the level of equivocation about the virtue of events in NYC and the Pentagon
have, VERY SADLY, led me to see an IRRECONCILABLE difference of opinion.
Even with a LOT of "moderate, mainstream, peaceful Muslim" thought and feeling.

Now I see way too many "peaceful" Muslims as part of the current "Muslim Bund",
a fifth column in the same style as Nazi sympathizers bent on altering the thought
process, action and culture of this country.

My feeling, in my rather large belly?
Politely tell them that if they truly feel this way, it's time for them to go home.
Before they follow their philosophy to the NATURAL and EVENTUAL END: imposing Sharia
law on as many of their neighbors as possible...just like the Taliban did in Afghanistan.

Hopefully things WON'T come to this sort of impasse.
Maybe they will watch the television coverage from Kabul, see all the faithful Muslim,
liberated from the extremism of the Taliban (Sharia) and the men laughing as they
cut their beards, women tossing their burqas into the fire with joy and
children daring to laugh in public as they play.

Maybe these images will bring them to their senses and make them decide:
"Side with the Taliban/Al-Quida? What do you think I am..freakin' insane!?"

I am not for deportations of citizens or mass roundups, but I do think we must be very vigilant.

I've had similar experiences and as a result have come to the same conclusions. There seems to be a basic inability for my Muslim friends to feel the kind of allegiance to this country that I do. As much as I hate to say it, as a result I don't think they belong here.
