Officially, I'd say you are right, added with the fear of a huge law suit from a future 'harrassed innocent' muslim. Unofficially, I bet you agree. Until another attack, we'll never know who was right....

I agree, the Muslim community as a whole may not want to harm the US (or Westerners for a more wider base), however, the facts can not be denied. HOw many more attacks here on our own soil and others soil by Muslims do we need before common sense starts to kick in???
Originally posted by Wien_Sean: This is simply, as Davo said, knee-jerk reactionism (if that's even a term) It's racism and anyone who has the belief that the Muslim community as a whole intends to harm the US doesn't know the Muslim community. It just seems there always must be a group to blame groups for, it makes people think if we get them all we will be safe. This is no way to live, it is oppressive and unfair; and as I often say Un-American.
What freedom do you have if you are laden with fear every day when you get up in the morning and head towards your mass transit? What freedom do you have, if you have to change your ways every due to fear or some kind of attack? What liberty/freedom do you have after you have been killed by an attack that could have been prevented by some screening or God forbid racial profiling.
Originally posted by Wien_Sean: I love saying it because so many do not understand this country, those who would give up liberty for security deserve neither. Do not ever say "so what if it is Un-American", that is one of the worst things an Ameican can say. The rest of your statement if just laden with fear.
Bottom line is until the world wide Muslim population starts to police it's own their sect of the world will be viewed as barbaric and violent. To say the US is oppressive, violent, inhumane, whatever moronic word you want to use is idiotic.
