Do you get nervous when you notice people in Muslim garb on your airplane?

Are you serious?

I don't know whether to laugh or cry about the gross ignorance in that post.

You are so right.
I mean, how totally scary is it to see women covering up their hair and body.
It traumatises me, it does.

I had to sit by one of these dudes recently on a flight. It was quite terrifying:

Also, he smelt strongly of garlic.

Well - YOU are going to have to identify the Young Man . Okay , now if he's a 2nd generation assimilated American Muslim in uniform - that's great.

The bottom line here is that despite the substantial divide in this land nobody running for office outside of Dearborn,Mich. or Vermont will openly declare that We NEED more Muslims into our gorgous Mosaic of America.

PLEASE - I'd like some Democrat today in a tight race to declare that. Even Barbara Boxer won't or Patty Murray - so you see the real concern, by MANY is out there even if they work at places that value diversity and Wine & Cheese.

I'd have preferred a terrorist. At least it would have been over quicker :shock:

It makes me think they don't really want to be American. They don't want to assimillate. Why would that be is a good question. Plus they gotta know they are drawing attention to themselves. I've not seen Muslim men wearing the robes and headresses, but many of the women cover their heads, and it's creepy. Some are obviously American women married to Muslim men (what a mistake that is, whooo weee) Talk about treating women like dirt under the feet. This is what makes me wonder what in the world is wrong with the Progressives in this country. How can they stand there and not bring attention to how much the Muslim men are still dominating their women. Christian men used to do it, too, but most have seen the light. The Muslims need to get with it in that area, but I think it's a long way off.

Not being prepared is what leads to the biggest catastrophes. Not acknowledging that you've got an enemy when he's standing right beside you (like on 9/11) is where there can be the biggest mistakes.

That is not what I was referring to. It was about Ned's comment, period.

Of course you are both frightened of shadows and phantoms. Glad I don't have to live in fear of the Muslim boogieman. :lol:

Why do you care or wish to know? Would it make a difference if I said I was White and not an Immigrant?

OKAY, Why don't you Answer up - Can We hit Double Digits in an Islamic population within the US and not be adversly affected (??) No Politician will raise the matter.

Simple Law of Averages here makes the answer more than obvious.

He's the nice white boy who blew up the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people, including 19 children under the age of 6.

Timothy McVeigh was an army veteran, so you should probably be afraid of anyone in cammo.

Probably not as we have a secular government. On top of that logic dictates....

Hispanics who are predominantly Catholic, are the fastest growing minority by far.

So no, it will not be a problem in yours or your grandkids lifetime if ever.

YES, If they are in this GREAT Country of OURS and they continue being turbaned with flowing robes, or the (presumed) ladies are in the hajib with only eyes visible I'd say they are not to likely to either assimilate or wish say the US Army too well in Iraq or Afghanistan - and possibly are much more like than me to kill a daughter , Neice, Granddaughter over some Stain on the Family Honor.

I hope all Progressives can at least consider the odds.

Yeah, assimilation. Could never trust one of 'em to do well in the military.
 
I'll tell you what makes me nervous:

No not really , because in terms of American Veterans (White or otherwise) McVeigh was an aberration. The tough part for many Western Intellectuals , assorted Progressives, and glib Scumbags like Julian Assauge, and Bill Maher, and Michael Moore to really accept is that the 19 vermin from 9/11 while a sub minority of Islam do represent a goodly number of Muslims worldwide. In pure emotionalism If nothing else.
 
We could never trust Arab Americans in our armed forces, right?

APAAM | The Association of Patriotic Arab Americans in Military

Dear Mr. Sheldon;

I read your impassioned piece...and as a Patriotic American who has fought for this country since June 1981 - your characterizations regarding Muslims in your writing needs to have some facts clarified.

...As a Muslim American Marine, I have lead Marines in combat on numerous occasions and since 9/11, I participated in counter-terrorism operations to pursue those terrorist bastards who attacked our country - I didn't wait for my country to call, I asked to be deployed, and waited for six months with home and personal possessions in storage by moving out of my home, and waited by renting a room from a friend, so when my turn was called I would not waste valuable time preparing - I was prepared and deployed at a moments notice.

The terrorists used Islam to justify their horrific and cowardice acts on 9/11. As Americans, Arabs and Muslims packed their bags, as I did, to get some pay back against the terrorists who struck our country. The attack on our country was not a Christian thing, it was not a Muslim thing, it was not a Jewish thing, and surely it wasn't a white, black, yellow, or brown thing.

It was terrorists who hated us for a multitude of reasons that struck our country on 9/11 - all which transcended color, race, religion, and nationality. In doing so, the terrorist killed those who were from over 87 countries in the deaths at the World Trade Center, and my fellow brothers and sisters in Arms lost their lives in the Pentagon. Muslims were among the dead both in the Pentagon and the World Trade Center.

The first documented Arab American immigrant - Private Nathan Badeen - from Syria died in the revolutionary war on May 26th, 1776, Private Nathan Badeen was with the 18th Continental Army of Massachusets. He died fighting for a cause of freedom - two months prior to seeing the Declaration of Independence issued to the British. So yes, there were Arab Americans and Muslim Americans who also died in the revolutionary war, as documented in the attachments - in addition to Private Nathan Badeen.

Over 5,000 Muslim and Arab Americans fought on both sides of the civil war - can you imagine Arab and Muslim Americans who were rebels, and on the other side Arab and Muslim Americans with the Union fighting to end slavery.

Over 15,000 Arab Americans fought in WWII to help rid the world of a Tyrant.

Since 9/11 Muslim and Arab Americans have given their life serving in the US Military in Iraq and Afghanistan - Captain Khan saw the threat of a vehicle in Iraq approaching dangerously towards the check point manned by his fellow Army Soldiers - Captain Khan ran outside of the wire to a safe distance away from harms way to his soldiers and jumped in front of the vehicle so it could detonate before it got to his troops. Captain Khan was months away from his Doctoral Degree when 9/11 happened, but held off getting his degree so he could join the US Army and serve his country in time of need.

I'm getting really tired of the slanderous allegations that some terrified white people have made about Arab Americans on this thread.

You are about as much concerned about that in reality as You are about them not having enough Big Gulp cups at the local 7/11.
