And we waged a full scale global war to stop it. It also wasn't in the name of any God/Allah. Next non-sequitur please...

Source for .00000001% being radical? No one can know for sure, but I've seen estimates more like 1 to 10%.

Don't kid yourself, they hate infidels, and they hate us even more when we act weak like this administration has.

There one difference in this. We could nuke them to oblivion but we don't. They can't destroy us but they would if they could.

We've got to stop collectively assuming they don't mean what they say. ISIS would nuke us every day if they could.

A significant percent of Muslims sympathize with ISIS. Heck, 10% of Malasians like ISIS. So if you're on a plane and you're reading the Koran or speaking to your neighboor in Arabic or Farsi I'm going to be more suspicious of you than I will the Japaneese businessman.

Exactly. Want to read some seriously scary shiite? Check out some of the Old Testament "laws." They're suspiciously close to Sharia Law.

I'm pretty sick of you Chicken Littles and your "The Muslim sky is falling" routine. How about if you all grow a set, deal with the criminals who happen to be Muslim and leave the rest of those folks alone.

I was only referring to the people involved in 9/11.

It's Sharia law that really scares me here, and we will eventually have it if steps aren't taken to ban it.

This administration has droned more people than Bush did. It's stepped up clandestine ops 4 fold that we know of.
Should he do more? Yes. But you guys block him if he does and you block him if he doesn't.
The only weak part about this administration are the obstructionist in congress. Their public disloyalty to America is shameful.

Amen, brother. If it was the other way around, the Faux News people would call it treason.

This. Like was written on thepeoplescube.com, " If you see something, check your privilege. "
Political correctness and Ft. Hood killings - CNN.com

And I qoute from that article, "The Army has been criticized for allowing Hasan to rise in the officer ranks, despite his having made little effort to hide his incendiary beliefs."

What is a phobia? An irritaonal fear. Phobia | Define Phobia at Dictionary.com

So are people being rational or not? Is there a basis for their fear? As I believe Grumble conveyed, I don't know how anyone down range in Iraq/Afghanistan etc. doesn't have a healthy dose of rational paranoia. It keeps you alive. I dont think *most* people are arguing, "If you see something, kick the crap out of them." Again if you see something you have a right and a responsibility to say something.

Let's not kid ourselves that Americans, especially those of us in uniform aren't eyeballed and profiled when we are overseas, or hell, even in our own country try! As if the locals are just happy shmappy and Americans are just all hateful bigots because 'Murica! Give me a break. :rolleyes:

Pretty much every time folks in this forum discuss topics outside their expertise and understanding.:rolleyes:

Don't confuse your google skills with my law degree

At least people are thinking about freedom and limited government. People are getting online and reading the friggin' the constitution and Federalist Papers.

It's sad you need a godda!n law degree to have a clue what your freedoms are.
