Hey, you are doing yeomans work this morning, SJackson. Yeah, I agree with this article, we are reacting from a position of fear, not good! We should revoke every visa of every Muslim here, send them back as Ann Coulter suggested, and only readmit after and if they subject themselves to an extensive screening process. V's wife.

If it so bothers Arabs that "we're in a constant state of hysteria regarding terrorism", they can fix that. Decide not to support the religious war against the US, speak out against terrorists of all stripes with all agendas - in the Israeli/Pakistani matter, etc. The Arabs are critical of the US - where is their criticism of their own people?

with America in a constant state of near hysterical terrorist alert, it is unlikely that these new regulations will achieve anything more than giving the utmost annoyance and very often offense to many of its visitors. Two words for the towel-head crybabies:
STAY HOME!!!!

Americas suspicion of everyone beyond its borders seems to reaching absurd proportions. The clearest demonstration of this has come with its treatment of its visitors, specifically its guests from Muslim countries. "Absurd proportions," indeed!
His country (Saudi Arabia) wouldn't even permit this American to step on its sacred soil. I would recommmend the same treatment here for him and his countrymen. Being checked at the border for these swine is insufficient.

Now the land of the free, which drew its people from every corner of the globe, is in the ironic position erecting barriers to the free movement of visitors, especially from the Muslim world. To the author of this article:
You can thank your A-rab bretheren for this situation. Yes, we are the land of the free, but YOUR bretheren took advantage of the freedoms that this country offers to ram several jets into our buildings, thus slaughtering over 3,000 of OUR countrymen! How would you expect us to react? We are simply taking measures to stop any more of YOUR bretheren from coming here and taking advantage of OUR freedoms to kill more of US! Now, if you don't like it - STAY THE HELL AWAY!!!!! Because we don't want you either!!!

The only hysteria I can see is that induced by the inability of our government to see that:
We are are war with Islam.
They are multiplying like rabbits; they are all part of the problem.
Immigration is part of their war plan.
Our laws are being exploited to enable their war.
Our borders are totally exposed.
Other than that, nothing to get excited about...

I agree completely, not only are they multiplying like rabbits but they lie, steal, cheat etc and they can pass it all of as the word of the demon Allah.
We must declare war against them.
Look at what's happening in Pakistan, Sudan, Indonesia-- the Christians are under all round attack.
But does the Organisation of Islamic Countries condemn this? NO!
But let a Muslim be searched to check if he has evil intents (oops, sorry, all would fail that, I mean is carrying a weapon on an aircraft) and Wham! you get nuts like this one complaining.
They come to OUR country, live on our handouts and attack US?!!!
What type of scum is this?
The type of scum that believe in a Madman like Mohammed, the type of scum that read a hashish inspired book which says things like: The world is divided into two parts: the Islamic where everything is hunky-dory and the non-Islamic which you must destroy in any way possible.
It's time to lock and load, wipe out this virulent disease called Islam.

Washington has now announced new guidance for immigration authorities, which makes it almost certain that this discrimination will become a regular fact of life for Muslim arriving at US borders. The Arabs, of course, open their doors wide to foreigners and practice no discrimination whatsoever, except that they stone people who openly practice a non-Islamist religion or women who don't wear burkhas.

Not hysterical. Just watching...and packing.

Hell! The four basic supports of present day American expression are: hysteria, histrionics, decadence and degeneration.
To: SJackson
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has renewed his earlier protest, which was prompted by the humiliating treatment of his deputy Ahmad Abdullah Badawi, who was ordered to remove his belt and shoes before being allowed to board a Los Angeles flight to New York. And I was required to remove my belt and shoes on a flight from Raleigh to Atlanta. If American citizens have to undergo this 'humiliating' treatment, why the hell shouldn't this raghead?

Immigration is part of their war plan.Immigration, along with conversion of those already here are critical parts of their plan.

Issue a visa with a local business sponsor, let in government approved tour groups, but don't allow independent travel. And ban the religion of your choice under all circumstances. The Saudis ban Jews, you can pick for us.

Institutionalized discrimination against these people is now but a relatively small step and it is one that was taken once before, when in 1941 the US treated loyal Japanese-Americans with heartless bigotry. We won that war, you will recall.
We'll win this one too.
Given that in 1941 the entire World was in utter turmoil, genocide was actively going on in Europe and the US was completely defensive in the Pacific, I don't think the US has anything to apologise for in it's internment of Japanese-Americans.
Doing so did not adversely effect out war effort, and that is the only criteria that mattered at that particular point in time. If you are going to fight a foreign war, you can't waste a lot of time and manpower on maintaining homeland defense. Putting all of your people most likely to be problematic in one place is a good, practical measure. The fact that 100 completely blameless Japanese-Americans were likely interred for every potential threat is harsh, but nothing to apologise for.
We fight to win. We'll win this one, too.
