By that logic, we oughta be able stamp out them durn xtians! After all, they shoot doctors!

On another note, a lot of people in the middle east consider the Isreali's 'Jewish Terrorists'.

1 I do not believe that the us should support israel. Lots of people hate us for it and we gain nothing for it.

2. I never said that we were rounding up arabs because they were arabs, but if you are looking for the people that want to blow shit up for religious reasons, fundamentalists of all religions are a good place to start. Islam certainly seems to breed more than its fair share.

3. I do not think that the difference is racially motivated, nor has anyone actually offered proof that it is.

This has not stopped the roundup of hundreds of Arab immigrants and citizens. Right now there is a former Intel employee that is being held in Portland with no charges against him. He nor his family has been informed of why he was detained and why his home ransacked. His attorney has not been allowed to counsel. All they have told anyone is that he is a material witness.

Loren I don't think you could be more wrong about these cases.

I've never said I agree with all the people detained over 9/11 paranoia. Those material witness cases are a big problem.
