Christianity is a religion, mohammadanism is not.

"Christianity is a religion, mohammadanism is not."

Depends who you ask.
The American left and the MSM will tell you it is.
Even W once upon a time said it was a religion of peace.
I see it as a death cult and political system all rolled into one violent, evil filled package.

No of course not. We need to Profile, profile and before we do , we have to convince W, Congress, especially the Democrats, the MSMedia to do it. Since we will not achieve this, expect many American deaths just so we can be PC.

We are at war with Mohammetanism.

Mohammetanism is condemned by its own source texts as the blood enemy of Freedom, of all other faiths, and of the Jews as a race and a nation.

Mohammetanism is committed by its own source texts to the violent destruction of Freedom, all other faiths, and of the Jews as a race and a nation in particular.

A declaration of religious affilitation should be required in order to obtain tickets for international flights to the U.S. The declared religious affiliation should be fastidiously checked out by American Intelligence. All Mohammetans should be subject to questioning and thorough baggage and strip search before being allowed to board any aircraft destined for the U.S. or its possessions. Those of other declared faiths, or nonr, should be subject to questioning at random, and the same searches applied to them if questioning arouses any suspicions.

It would be even better if no more visas should be issued for any reason to Mohammetans, and that includes the ragheads in the UN. Revoke their visas, revoke their diplomatic immunity, and send them all back to whatever hellhole they crawled out of.

I know this won't happen, even after we, as a society, finally awaken and see that this is a TOTAL war of Mohammetanism against the West and everything it stands for.

We just don't have the guts anymore to do what we had to do in WWII.

My dad was a resident alien, and Italian national, living here in the States when the war broke out. He was subject to questioning and had to surrender anything and everything to the FBI that they thought he could use in espionage or sabotage, including the camera by which he made his living photographing weddings and portraits.

My father had no problem with any of this, but rather welcomed it, knowing that the American government was discharging its responsibility to maintain the safety and security of the Homeland.

There was no whining about how Italian-Americans feared a "backlash". Most of them sent their sons to war in battles that would pitch them against their own kin.

None of us expects a response like that from the Mohammetans.

I'd agree with you except... there seems to be an abundance of Arabic muslims willing to blow themselves up. We have yet to see the Swedes or Danes or Germans who want to blow themselves up.

Ever see a Chechen? Blue-eyed Caucasian Muslims allied with Al Quaeda... Look just like your average American or European.

So we need to obviously pay close attention to obviously Arabic types, sure, that's a no-brainer, but what about somebody like that, or like "Jihad Johnny"?

I'm ok with protecting myself against a known threat, and dealing with others dynamically. Sure, you have precautions, but you focus on the Arab muslims.

Really, outside of Chechnya, how many Chechens have been involved with terrorism? When the Chechens begin to blow up buses in Iraq, Israel, or the US, then we can modify our behavior.

Too much "what if" can lead to inaction. Paralysis by analysis.

What we do know is that most terrorists are Arab muslim males between 18 and 50 years of age. Let's not ignore what we know so we can feel good about our multiculturalism.

Chechens don't bother with small stuff like blowing up buses, the go for the big splashy stuff, like blowing up apartments in Moscow, taking over theaters full of concert-goers, the Beslan massacre of schoolchildren, that sort of thing. And Osama has publicly stated he's trying to recruit them to use in attacks inside the US because they don't look like Arabs.

But your point is well-taken. And I assure you, I was not ignoring anything out of any need to feel good about my multiculturalism. But then, I'm sure you knew that. ;)

(BTW, Browns' fan here too. I live in Bedford.)

Recently I drove my 86 yr old cousin to the airport so he could return home to Alaska. He made the trip to the lower states to see his 2 younger sibblings for the last time. They are both in nursing homes.

This elderly man spent the past year confined to bed because of a broken pelvis in a fall. I had to help him from my car, got him checked in and went with him as far as I could go. He was able to walk very slowly and was shuffling. His ticket stated on it that he was to be met by an attendant with a wheelchair at SeaTac where he had to change planes before flying on to Anchorage. I did all I could to make that trip for him as easy as possible.

The last I saw of my cousin on down the line, he was being searched, waned, and was trying to take his shoes off as directed. I stood there and watched the other passengers go through. No one else in front of or behind him in that line were asked to do that.

: “We must think long and hard about the causal factors of anger and resentment. "

Yeah ... something about 3000+ citizens dying at the hands of terrorists motivated by religion makes me pretty angry when that religion fails to condemn it.

I'm confident that you were as angry as my brother was when they did that to Dad. BTW, my Dad died last November 1, a veteran of WWII, China/Burma/India. Not only is it asinine, but it's insulting and degrades the dignity these veterans are entitled to. Typical cowardly Liberal BS. Meanwhile, those that "fit the profile" aren't checked.
