Because I really want off.

Oh and the Muslims get a big fat 0 for thinking this would be a good time to bring this up with the current loaded atmosphere.

I saw 2 Sikh's on the corner downtown here in MetroIndyville and feared for their safety.

I disagree with the notion that the local Muslims shouldn't have gone forward with meetings to discuss a doubtless long-planned building project, just because insane extremists perpetrated terrorism in France - or Beirut, or Turkey, or Mali, or anywhere else - it's happening all the time across the globe.

Should good Muslims never do anything positive in their communities, because a few terrible Muslim extremists are committing crimes in the 'name' of the same religion?

This is exactly the kind of bigotry that we must all stand against, IMHO. I am frankly physically sickened by Trump's call for a Muslim 'registry', and I fear for what might happen in this country if good people say nothing.

I agree BSG; but this shows exactly what fear and hatred can do.

Only if we let it.

The overactive Republican amygdalae are in overdrive.

If I feel the need I will carry my gun, but I will not fear anyone or allow them to control me. If I feel like it will burn a Koran.

I think some caution may be needed. The overwhelming majority of USians are in favour of restricting immigration - in fear of terrorism - and happy to see the Representatives (both R and D) voting against Obama's come-one-and-all policy.

I'm not saying it's correct. Just that to restrict concern (even over-concern) to Republicans is rather to miss the boat. If the Dems don't get onside, there is a risk of losing voters. Granted, given the outlandish oafishness of some Rep candidates, that concern may swiftly evaporate

Overwhelming majority, I'm not so sure. Angry and vocal group, definitely. Republican led, absolutely.

I'm thinking my move to Paris may be sooner than I thought. I'd rather be there with real security risks and open minds and hearts, then safe over here with the haters and the fear-mongers.

well guin, if you look at the overwhelming majority of governorships and statehouses in repub hands, and you see both houses of congress in repub hands, with the majorities on the rise....

do you really think you are safe from terrorism here? you are not. do you know how many ISIS members have been caught, here, in the last year? do you know the details of the 4th of july plot that was foiled here? they haven t released much info and it has been little reported, but it was serious and some info is available. don t want to panic the poor stupid masses, you know? they can t handle the truth.... how about all the middle easterners that have been caught at the southern border this year? its a lot.

there are plenty off haters and fearmongers in paris too. mostly muslim brotherhood types, and they will do worse things to you than any republican will..., well most repubs anyway, Tom Delay and his ilk are pretty scary.....

Belgium is a police state at the moment. this is thanks to their immigration policies or lack thereof.

paris is a police state, because of muslim immigrants and their children, legal or otherwise

Disgusting.


The states of emergency in France and Belgium are due to terrorism and terrorists - NOT Muslim immigration, legal and/or otherwise.

You are frighteningly narrow minded.

[wesw]

and you are intellectually dishonest.

I m sorry you are in a bad way right now, but if you keep on insulting me and my community, don t expect a free pass for much longer....

[MajGenl.Meade]

Oops! I thought narrow-minded was a compliment! Silly me!

[BoSoxGal]

No, I'm being entirely honest.


In any case, it seems I can solve both our troubles by putting you back on ignore; I can avoid your drumbeat reactionary intolerance and you can avoid holding back on me for daring to suggest that you are the sort of person who would likely support creating Muslim 'neighborhoods' in this country, to make the 'registry' updating easier to facilitate.

For happily the Government of the United States gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support. ~ George Washington

bigsky, that Washington quote is exactly why these islamists are anathema to our nation and to civilized men everywhere ( I used "men" instead of people just to annoy you)
