This is sad, really sad.  44% Americans favor at least some restrictions on the civil liberties of Muslim Americans.  At least the hatred towards them is not as bad as the hatred towards the Japanese Americans during WWII...

Pssst, racial profiling works.  No one complained when RFK was only investigating Italian-Americans when he was going after organized crime.

I wouldnt restrict anyones liberties.I think profiling works very well but it is often abused.Still is is useful and should be used now with muslims who fit the profile.

I remember a poll from MSNBC or CNN where Americans said they would give up rights to be safer.I remembered a quote from when I was back in school.

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
   -- Benjamin Franklin

My point is that Americans say and do stupid things when they are affraid.This poll  as well  the one mentioned before shows that.

Gentlemen....

Not in any way backing up anything in that article....

But if all of the people that were blowing up airlines, crashing planes into buildings, sending suicide bombers into civilian towns, were BLUE colored men age 25 wearing black glasses, pink ties, and orange suits, and white keds......

Who would you want investigated and paid attention to more?

And to judge an entire culture based on the wrong doings of others is also not something I condone.

Bit of a paradox.......

The problem with today with the fear of an immendant terrorist attack that they are willing to do anything and spend anything to avert it.  Yes, it is sad that 3,000 people died in 9/11 but more people died in drunk driving, murders, accidents, etc...  Yet the Bush Administration spends so much time and money just to advert a terrorist attack.  I am not saying that we should not spend any effort on terrorism, but I am saying that there are other domestic and international issue that we have also.

wow, you guys believe polls like this? Look at the # of people polled. You have to look at the demographic as well.

I HIGHLY DOUBT, that if you went up to 100 americans randomly 44 of them would say that, maybe 2.

How would you feel if Iraq put Americans in concentration camps? Not that I am from Iraq, but since the country is brought up a lot I thought I would use it as an example. You guys would be protesting and rioting like shit. Yeah... thought so...   wink.gif

It wouldn't ever happen, because nothing can crush the will of the American people, we are the most powerful nation in the history of the modern world. Hail Satan.
