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

Does it make you nervous?

Don't be silly, Ned. Mormon garments have distinctive necklines (very different from the typical crewnecked undershirt that most men wear). I could always spot them when I lived in Utah, and even now, traveling as much as I do, I can spot Mormon men if they are wearing a white dress shirt; the garment shirt is often clearly visible through the shirt.

Again...why do you want to deny other people the rights to religious expression that you claim for yourself?

YOU inject latent hostilities that have been with you for 2 decades into an arguement that exemplifies very valid concerns MOST people have today.

YOU have a long term "Chip on YOUR shoulder" against the LDS Church and a lot of Mormon Men based on your experiances when you were younger and cannot forgive yourself probably for being so immature and not being able to (initially) cope with the doctranaire attitudes of a lot of the Mormon Men.. Seeing these garments, which most people are not even aware of is important because your hostility forces you to grasp even a goofy Islamic comparison to in a teeny way get back at those you despise. Those who at one time had YOU "towing the mark" and "Dancing to their Tune"

YES, MANY are NOT Citizens and MANY of those who might of at one time "Raised Their Hand" and "Took the Oath" did so for commercial reasons. In short few have any genuine Loyalty to the USA.

Can YOU comprehend this OR do YOU believe We can work it out over a few decades (???)
 
Nope, wouldn't be nervous at all. Why should I? It should be perfectly obvious to all by now that actual terrorists never board a plane wearing Muslim garb.

Living in fear does nothing more than make you a prisoner in your own mind.

A little Profiling will help erase that Fear quite a bit I suspect.

Do you honestly think profiling anyone who looks Arab will work? LMAO!

You do realize that Muslims and even the terrorist Muslims cover the entire human spectrum? From Africa to Europe and far beyond.

If you think profiling will help ease your fear, you will be a prisoner for a long, long time.
 
As of about five years ago, 95% of all conflicts around the world involved Muslims. How any rational person could not, at least, consider the risk involved as it pertains to Muslims is rather perplexing.

Considering risk is one thing. You would have to be a fool not to. But that is not what we are talking about.

She is scared to get on a plane because of the fear of terrorism. This debilitating kind of fear is ridicules and borders on paranoia, exactly what the terrorist want. If all Americans were scared to fly with anyone in Muslim garb, the terrorists would be victorious.

Who was on the other side of that conflict?

I would wager that non muslims killed more people in the last century than muslims.

Just pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of your position. Sorry that's bothersome for you. :shrug: YOU wear religious clothing, but want to deny other people the right to do the same.

Do you even understand that in the 1860s, people felt about YOUR PEOPLE the way they currently feel about Muslims?

We are experioancing Events TODAY. Not in Brigham Young's time. The bottom line here is that YOU evolved from a dutiful little Relief Society Munchkin into a fervent critic of the Church. You "Matured" and became a Progressive. Therefore it's in Vogue for MOST Progressive's to see alomost any Enemy of their Country in simplistic unrealistic terms. To see those in various Christian denominations as Anacronism's Hell bent on turning the Clock back.

Lets see...... Stalin, Hitler, Vietnam, Korea, WWI, WWII, Iraq, Afghanistan. . It's probably 100-1000 people killed by non muslims for every 1 killed by muslims. It's a lock.

Honestly, if I knew there were 4 or 5 Muslim men on a flight ahead of time, I'd cancel my flight, lose the money and take the bus. Juan Williams, O'Reilly, all those journalists know there are no truly moderate Muslims. They stick together. They are dangerous and we'd be wise to be wary of them all. If there are truly moderate Muslims why have we not found Bin Laden. Ans: They will never give him up because they love him. He's their hero.

All these lovey dovey liberals need to start living in the real world. It's a dog eat dog world, and when something walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it's probably a duck.

Joy, Whoopie, Barbara need to start having at least one Muslim a day on their show, and ask them some tough questions. We'll see where that goes.

I feel sorry for people like you who choose to hide under their beds when they see someone dressed differently than they are.

Many if not most of our Founding Fathers chose to create this union based on commercial interests.

It's pretty sickening of you to simply assume that naturalized citizens have no loyalty to this country. I've become very well acquainted with many and I would trade the least of them for you and your ilk in a heartbeat.
