If you didn't already get the gist of opinion on American internment camps (for Japanese- and German- (and Italian-) descendants (have been using the non-word descendees for some time)), it is that they were bad.

According to who? The internees?

During WWII the government broke up every German American Bund it could find. This was a good thing. We were at war with Germany.

I'm not advocating putting muslims in camps, not yet anyway.

What I'm advocating is deporting every single muslim male who isn't a natural born or naturalized citizen. Just cancel their visas and send them back to where they came from.

We don't need them. They fill no vital national need.

You missed my point. Not all Germans in Germany were Nazis. That didn't stop the US and Britain from killing huge numbers of them in air raids.

Not all Japanese were slavish devotees of the Emperor. That didn't stop the US from killing huge numbers of them in air raids, either.

This topic seems to be about Muslims in the United States, not in Muslim countries (for the second part of your post). Agree that many German (non-Nazi) and Japanese civilians were killed, and today that is a point of debate, such as whether the bombing of Dresden was necessary. Something to note, however, is that they didn't have precision guided missiles back then, and they did (generally) try to hit either military locations directly, or manufacturing areas (for civilians) which supported the Nazi/Japanese military.

As for the deportation, personally against that, though not completely against restricting or even stopping all Muslim immigration for a while (if they're already here, let them stay, but stop more from coming). Still (again, personal opinion), it does not seem that there has been enough threat shown from Muslim immigrants (not visa-holders, as were the September 11th people) to warrant such a strong action yet.

Many freepers kindly helped to get a FRhomepage organized on Internet Explorer. It should look organized, now.
