All you phobes can calm down. Trump is going to ask CBP to perform religious screening at all entry checkpoints. He'll also pull kind of a Kristallnacht, part II (against Muslims), and deport the ones already here.

Probably both. Don't yell fire in a crowded theater, don't yell bomb on an airplane. Don't make a phone call in Arabic on a U.S. airliner. Just because it's not illegal doesn't make it smart.

As a matter of fact, I can't stand any of the people who feel that all of us need to listen to one side of their telephone conversation during boarding - take them all off regardless of language!

Newsflash: It's the same "god" as Christians believe in. "Allah" is simply the word "god" in Arabic.

You've heard of languages right?

I can't say it is bad situational awareness or even comment on the topic on hand but a hijab doesn't look good with most required US airline uniforms. Whatever religious doctrine this gate agent follows is so strict it won't allow her to take the hijab off for 8 hours a day? If there were a god would this god really be concerned about people wearing a hijab at all times? If there were a god would this entity even comprehend the concept of a hijab? I'm all for religious freedom and all personal freedoms, walk around naked if you want, worship whatever god you want but at work you can't wear the required uniform for 8 hours? Why take a job if you can't commit to wearing the required uniform? If my religious doctrine requires that I wear a 3 foot tall cowboy hat at all times how many airlines are going to accommodate that? Are they going to be required to order airplanes with bigger cockpits to accommodate my beliefs and customs?

Your "newsflash" is as credible as a Brian Williams report from the combat zone! Where did you come up with that? The Koran and the Bible read quite a bit differently! I expect leaders within both faiths would agree that Christians and Muslims worship a God as they believe their creator to be. But to say it's the same God echos a PC publicity piece from some website that would like people to believe more similarities than differences exist between the two religions. Which is way beyond reality. Start with a God who had a son (Jesus) versus one with no offspring, just for starters. Many tenets of Christianity are commonly denounced by Muslim teachings. Christians tend to spend less time debunking the beliefs of others and more time expressing God's love for all of mankind. The last thing I want to do is start a religious debate, but your statement must be called out. Christian God is not Allah by another name. Allah is the God Muslims worship with vastly different interpretations, beliefs and rituals than Christians worship their God. Any devout Muslim or Christian would acknowledge the vast differences between their religions. Your "newsflash" might play well on Twitter or a mindless TV news program, but it's not factual. Should believers and non-believers recognize and respect the rights of anyone to worship a deity as they wish? Of course. But pretending these two religions have much in common is pure baloney!

And yet they are both mythical characters billions of people live their life for. With no proof that either actually exist.

The cure for a bad "god" this isn't more "god".

It's rational people using convincing logic. And a few marines.

But seriously. We can't fight their lunacy only to replace it with our own brand of domestic Taliban.
If they come here they obey our laws, which means I get to make fun of their "god" all day long.
But I also think as long as they are lawful people they should be left the hell alone.
When did the home of the brave become the land of the shi+ing our pants?
