I'm all for that; but why not just boot anyone from the Islamic world. End the charade; they are at war with us, or are silently supporting it.

The men charged are Karim Koubriti, Ahmed Hannan, Farouk "Khalid" Ali-Haimoud, Youssef Hmimssa and Abdella, whose last name is unknown.

And we're still strip-searching 70-year-old 4th-generation American grandmothers from Des Moines, before they are allowed to board airplanes. We are idiots.

American muslims refuse to cooperate in tracking down the sleepers. That's because Islam is pieceful.

Arabic sounding name = terrorist.

The islamikazis have successfully given us a whole class of people who are guilty until proven innocent. (at least in the mind of the public)

One more attack and the non-arab people of the US will be screaming for the blood of anything that remotely looks like it might be islamic. "Islam is the religion of peace" will be turned into "Islam is the religion whose followers have been hacked into pieces". And the world will rejoice.

If the islamikazis think Israel is bad they've never seen us when we are ticked. Glowing parking lots of glass in the mideast anyone? We'd do it gladly if they attack us again.

Mecca, Medina, Tehran, Riyadh, Damascus, Baghdad, etc, all mushrooms waiting to happen. And we should take pains to let the arabs know that we WILL retaliate by nuking them out of existence.

God Save America (Please)

Yes, the thought of marauding bands of rogue grandmothers terrorizing the countryside has bothered me for years. I know that they are plotting some kind of subversive takeover. They will likely use poisoned cookies or strychnine-laced quilts to overpower us.

When in hell are these airports going to screen their employees and stop hiring ARABS!!!! Don't they ever learn? I don't give a crap if it's racial profiling or not. Cheez.

I'm a dangerous grandmother but I'll let them search me anytime, as long as they search the Arab standing behind me!

Great idea. Let's zero in on their holy places and see how it feels. Can I go with you (smile)?
