The survey showed that 27 percent of respondents supported requiring all Muslim Americans to register where they lived with the federal government. Twenty-two percent favored racial profiling to identify potential terrorist threats. And 29 percent thought undercover agents should infiltrate Muslim civic and volunteer organizations to keep tabs on their activities and fund-raising.

IMHO, none of these things are too onerous. Muslim-Americans (why oh why do people insist on hyphenating their backgrounds - it's almost a qualifying statement; "I'm an American, but first, I'm a Muslim, African, Italian, Jedi-Knight") should recognise that *all* the 9/11 hijackers were Muslim, virtually all the terrorism in the world today is perpetrated by Muslims and certainly all the beheadings are being done by Muslims.

I'm particularly surprised by the low figure for racial profiling - whenever I'm asked to remove my shoes or am given a pat-down in an airport line, I feel like saying "look, I'm not a Muslim, like life, and I'm not about to blow up the friggin' plane" - which brings to mind a thought I had, have some phrase like "Mohammed was a paedophile" or a few verses from the Koran imprinted on the carpet before you go through security - it acts as a self-selecting mechanism...

I guess what this article says is that Americans, who love freedom and liberty, are starting to get fed up waiting for the 'moderate Muslim' to appear, and are looking for some other way forward, this is a wakup call to said 'moderate Muslims'...

#3 Simply put, while others swear allegiance to the Flag, Mossies have their Book which they regard as absolutely supreme at others' expense. So they should decide where they stand. The Brotherhood or the US. Until then they have a problem others don't seem to present and this problem is potentially detrimental to others who should have the right to ensure their own security. Words of denial are cheap to generate. They are known to own d'Nile. We know exactly what's in the Book and where their pursuant of "greater holiness" always leads to.

#4 When a Moslem swears allegiance he/she could be simply engaged in Taqiyya

#5 Lol - talk about dissembling! Wikipedia, since it is publicly-contributed and has been under fire repeatedly by Muslims to "fix" shit to suit themselves, spends far more time explaining taqiyya to death than it took to define it.

My take:
It means they lie like fucking dogs if it suits them and/or their religion. Therefore, never, never, trust the word of a Muslim even if you think you know him and you think you are friends... unless you're a Muslim, too - then there's no issue cuz you're a fucking liar, too.

How's that, mhw? Lol! Thanx for the link!

#7 The Roadmap to Peace is nothing but the dead rat in the middle of the road with the yellow double line painted over it.

Yes, the tactical lying (or strategic misinforming) is a doctrine that everyone in the west should (but sadly isn't) learn.

There is a lot of amusing give and take between the sunni and the shia on when you should lie (basically, the shia are more lenient)

I do disagree on one thing. I don't like disparaging dogs.
