“This is like saying we are going to contain an epidemic by quarantining everyone EXCEPT know carriers...”

We did that. The disease was AIDS. Known carriers were NOT quarantined, at all. And that was back in the 1980’s.

Aren’t “progressives” fun? /s

A “blog” is nothing more than a type of software that presents information on the web in a certain way. Such a technical label tells you absolutely nothing about the quality of the content. I’ve seen plenty of “blogs” that contained the highest level of important information, and there sure are plenty of sites that aren’t presented in a blog format that contain nothing but trash.

“Muslims can opt out of body pat downs. They can also opt out of the 0bamacare mandate. This is nothing less than Jizya. Ordinary Americans are becoming second class citizens.”

While what you state is true, it is also true that Americans have been second class citizens for some time. Think HB-1 and illegals. As a naturalized citizen, I just couldn’t believe how Americans didn’t see it. This has been coming long time now.

I’m not about to give CAIR any traffic either.

I just think we need to be careful about posting things that aren’t quite true.

I think that any article that makes an unsubstantiated declarative statement in the title is doing a diservice.

Many people read the title and think it’s true. The author didn’t bother to source it.

Just my opinion.

“Might be best if they pulled the thread. I really wish that blogs didn't appear in the sidebar, much less be posted, for this very reason. You can't always confirm the crap on them. Threads like this that spread lies only hurt FR. jmo”

I agree. There is so much real stuff out there to be upset about, there is no reason to get upset over stories that are not true.

Having designed websites, I am familiar with how a blog works. While there are sites that lie and others that are factual, I think that threads that are aimed at agitating, calling for boycotts, without the facts being confirmed are detrimental to FR. jmo

Yes, you’ve made that quite clear.

The title - got it.

TSA has agreed not to pat down anywhere else on a female in a Hajib but head and neck. That’s not “Junk”.

Ok folks, I see a good money making opportunity. How about opening up Bourqa stores at all airports? We can rent them at all airports? They just turn them in at the arrival airport and get their deposit back.

There is a thread that is about the TSA and how the airports have a choice. Airports don’t have to use TSA.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2627947/posts

In fact, yesterday there was a link telling people which airports DO have the scaners.

http://consumerist.com/2010/09/updated-list-of-full-body-scanners-at-airports.html

DOMESTIC AIRPORTS:
· Albuquerque International Airport (ABQ)
· Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (ATL)
· Baltimore-Washington International (BWI)
· Boise Airport (BOI)
· Boston-Logan International (BOS)
· Brownsville-South Padre Island Airport (BRO)
· Buffalo-Niagara International (BUF)
· Charlotte Douglas International (CLT)
· Chicago-O’Hare Airport (ORD)
· Columbus International Airport (CMH)
· Corpus Christi International Airport (CRP)
· Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport (DFW)
· Denver International Airport (DEN)
· Detroit Metro Wayne County Airport (DTW)
· Harrisburg International Airport (HIA)
· Indianapolis International Airport (IND)
· Jacksonville International Airport (JAX)
· Laredo International Airport (LRD)
· Las Vegas-McCarran Airport (LAS)

Sounds like a prime cadidate for lawsuit under the “equal protection” clause. Clear discrimination based on religion.

I think we should all drop trousers at the airport and give them a nice full moon. :)

Weird. I searched the title before I posted. It didn’t come up.
