First things first: I abhor the unjustified anger diected at some of our Arab-American neighbors in the aftermath of Tuesday's terrorist attacks.
Such sentiments are unfair and unwarranted. Knowing that Arab-American friends have huddled in basements in fear of our rage leaves me heart-sick.

I agree with Nolan Finley. If the Arab-Americans really want to show (not just talk about) their loyalty to America, they must immediately identify, locate and turn over to the authorities all terrorist sympathizers in their midst.
To do less is to show the world that their words of sympathy and allegiance are only lies.
Amen.

It is time for the loyal moslem arab Americans to state loudly their loyalty to the USA ABOVE ALL OTHERS, and to do more, to prove it in deeds.
We are now shifting from peacetime rules to wartime rules, and the battlefield is HERE. So please spare me everyone your bleatings about the poor arab moslems' civil liberties, this is WAR.
Many of them are not even citizens, but have merely snuck into our free and open society, and bear us only hatred. The fine and loyal arab moslems Americans must now help to ROOT THEM OUT.
Am I being unfair? I don't think so: this is now WAR on "Battlefield USA". We must fight to win.
Let me point out to any who have missed these facts:
/1/ Before the first WTC bombing, mosques and "cultural centers" in NYC were used as safehouses, agent meeting places, and dead drops. This is a fact, look it up. Prior to this state of war, our FBI was hamstrung by the ACLU and CAIR etc and were unable to properly monitor these nests of vipers in NYC, and we saw the (thank God it did not fully succeed) results. Now we are moving to WARTIME rules of engagement, and mosques and "cultural centers" must not be permitted to give unquestioned sanctuary to terrorists and their support agents. Good loyal patriotic arab moslem Americans can and must root them out swiftly. If they fail to do this, their loyalties must be suspected. Too bad, it's WAR.
/2/ After the 9-11 outrage, some, not many, arab moslem ILLEGAL ALIENS have been seen celebrating, several have been arrested by the FBI. Some were across the Hudson with video cameras on tripods, ready to record the evil deeds, then cheering when the buildings were struck. There was obviously advance notice among SOME arab moslems inside of the USA, none of them with advance knowledge tipped off the attack to the authorities.
It is now time for all good loyal patriotic arab moslem Americans to do their duty, and report their suspicions or knowledge to the FBI, so that they may begin investigating possible terrorists or terrorist support agents ASAP. If they fail to do this DUTY, then shame on them, and do not expect to win sympathy with crocodile tears later on.
What is the Council on American-Islamic Relations?
CAIR is a particularly worrisome organization because it has succeeded in portraying
itself as a public affairs organization promoting "interest and understanding among
the general public with regards to Islam and Muslims in North America." In fact, this
organization is radical to the core; it seeks nothing less than the imposition of
Islamist mores on the United States.
CAIR's record includes the following unpleasantries:
Apologizing for such killers as Hamas (a group associated with the murder of
7 Americans) and Usama bin Ladin (charged with the Tanzania and Kenya
embassy bombings a year ago).
Helping promote terrorism: In the words of Steve Pomerantz, a former Chief
of Counterterrorism for the FBI, "CAIR, its leaders, and its activities,
effectively give aid to international terrorist groups."
Intimidation of patriotic Muslims who disagree with CAIR's chauvinist agenda:
In one case (Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani), the FBI is looking into
charges that he received death threats after renouncing the chauvinists.
Permitting a potential unindicted co-conspirator in the World Trade Center
bombing of 1993 to sit on its board.
Defense of even the most archaic and barbaric of customs associated with
Islam: When a prosecutor in Cleveland argued that the bail of two young
men being held for an "honor killing" of their female cousin should be
increased, CAIR replied by accusing him of "ethnic and religious stereotyping"
and called for a formal investigation into the prosecutor's actions.
Sponsorship of blatant antisemitism: At a May 1998 rally at Brooklyn College
co-sponsored by CAIR, one speaker referred to Jews as "descendants of the
apes."
In short, CAIR represents not the great civilization of Islam but a radical utopian
movement originating in the Middle East that seeks to impose its ways on the
United States. Americans should consider themselves warned: a new danger exists
in their midst.
CAIR also has a history of vituperation and aggressiveness against anyone who
opposes its Islamist vision for the United States. In my case, it has been sending
out tirades since July 1999; these have landed everywhere from the op-ed page of
the Minneapolis Star-Tribune to the hands of street picketers in Washington, D.C. and
Cornell University.

What if they don't know anything? How are you going to be able to tell?
BUT, when we find out from others who are arrested or come forward with info just who had information and sat on it, they should be tried for treason in wartime and swiftly hung.
Talk is cheap. Give up the vermin or share their fate.
