I think my "editorial position" on this article is a little misunderstood.

While I actually agree that labeling Muslims is a ridiculous idea, I think the point the radio host was trying to make about exposing anti-Muslim "prejudice" is equally absurd.

He's overlooking the real danger posed by a group of islamic radicals--which we unfortunately can't distinguish from the "good" muslims--to our society. Yes, "rounding them all up" is a disproportionate response and a definite overreaction. But letting down our guard could be lethal.

Agree. Which is why there coouuld be a database run by the government listing all the Muslims. But by exposing Muslims out in the open (not all use ethnic attire) could lead to vigilantism (and personally against vigilantism).

Sorry to keep asking these questions, but apparently organizing a webpage is very difficult. If http://www.freerepublic.com/~jedimasterpikachu/ is very disorganized on your screen, can you freepmail?

Your initial comments were misconstrued by some people quick to bash or find fault with Americans, like this dopey radio host.

I'll say this: Americans have the right to preserve the institutions that founded and have led to prosperity and ordered freedom in this country for over 200 years.

Immigrants who refuse to respect, and/or work to subvert those institutions, do not have any special right to do so.

I have not "pre-judged" that our country has historically represented a land of more real opportunity and real justice than any other nation in the history of the world. This is my considered judgement based on the facts.

So. I will defend our American way of life, without apology, to all comers.
