Bob,
>We also cannot ignore the origins of the real people who took down the WTC towers, flew the plane into the pentagon or had their mission terminated in Pennsylvania.

OK then how come we can ignore the origins of those who took down the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, or those who blow up Black Churchs.

You don't seem to understand. The givernment is locking people up . . . Not releaseing their names . . . Not giving them access to legal assistance . . . not giving them access to legal process . . . ALL BECAUSE THEY ARE MUSLIM.

Now you may wish to compare having your shoes swabbed to that but its not quite the same.

You seem to be saying that my position is that everyone except the Muslim's should have to go through the metal detector at the airport. That is not my position.
