Where has the common sense gone? How in the name of peace do we not isolate these radicals. We did it to innocent Japanese citizens during WW2, and have been feeling the shame of it ever since. Are we now not going to control this more serious threat to Liberty and peace because of that fiasco.
Or do we strap a remote explosive devise on all Muslims and push the button when we get nervous? Or do we put blinders on and sit and wait for the consequences of stupidity? There is no way to change their mind, so how is this government going to handle the fear that is building.
Mark my words, one disaster here in the USA linked to Muslim activity, will cause a severe and uncontrollable backlash by frightened citizens. That's what these jerks want, and they will probably get it. How do you reach an insane group mentality, without triggering chaos?

All good questions, Larry. But I still feel we are putting the horse behind the cart. We are now in the midst of a WAR, and I fear we are going to start feeling the effects in short order. I hope I am wrong, but it is difficult to fight people who believe suicide is a reward and virgins are waiting on the other side to be despoiled. We have every right to be anxious about what comes next - about what ISIS members will do WHO ARE PRESENTLY IN OUR COUNTRY!!!!
How much safer would we be , however, if we finally pulled in the welcome mat?? Terrorists have invaded our homeland, and there is still nothing being done about closing the damn door!!! When is something potent going to be done about SECURING THE BORDER?? Thousands of people in N.Y. were protesting c*****e c****e, when they should be out there protesting the porous border which is an open invitation to people who would do us great harm. How long do we have to wait?!!!
An intelligence report compiled by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP) reveals that large numbers of immigrants originating BEYOND LATIN AMERICA are illegally crossing the southern U.S. border.
1,443 people from China were apprehended while crossing the U.S. border so far this year, with an additional 1,803 people either turning themselves in to U.S. authorities at official ports of entry, or being caught attempting to illegally enter at the ports of entry.
Twenty-eight individuals from Pakistan were apprehended while crossing the U.S. border this year, with another 211 individuals either turning themselves in or being caught at official ports of entry.
Thirteen Egyptians were apprehended while crossing the U.S. border this year, with another 168 either turning themselves in or being caught at official ports of entry.
Four individuals from Yemen were apprehended while crossing the U.S. border in 2014, with another 34 individuals either turning themselves in or being caught attempting to illegally enter at the ports of entry.
Four individuals from Somalia were apprehended while crossing the U.S. border in 2014. Another 290 either turned themselves in or were apprehended at official ports of entry.
Since it is not possible to know how many people crossing our border illegally escape detection, the above figures suggest that many more people from across the globe have crossed our southern border, including some with terrorist connections or originating in nations where the current Ebola v***s outbreak has occurred. CBP data reveals that AT LEAST 71 INDIVIDUALS FROM THE THREE NATIONS AFFECTED BY THE EBOLA OUTBREAK have either turned themselves in or have been caught attempting to illegally enter the United States between January and July of this year.
One thing more, Larry. Based on past actions, I still feel that, as long as Obama is President, any action from Americans against Muslims within the U.S. will be castigated. He said it himself, many times:
The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam
The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer
We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world including in my own country.
As a student of history, I also know civilizations debt to Islam.
Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.
Islam has always been part of America
We will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities
These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islams role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.
America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.
I made clear that America is not and never will be at war with Islam.
