Once you propose rounding up innocent people - things become questionable. How much are you willing to sacrifice for the delution of "safety"? The very community you want to round up is the community best able to help law enforcement. Where will they go while being "interogated" - these large groups, families, children? Will they have jobs left when you decide to "let them go"?

This +1.
If we are to espouse the principles of freedom we must sacrifice our sense of safety, for the rights of other people.
Your security is your responsibility as an individual.
The government can not, and has never been able to provide for your security without compromising your freedom. This is a greater threat to your security.
I detest the cult of muhamhead and the zealotry of slavery and death.
I would oppose an effort to deny them of their individual rights until they as individuals abuse those rights.
Is that a dangerous position?
Yes.
It is far more dangerous to grant the government the authority to deny them of their rights, because then there is nothing to stop it from denying everyone else's rights.
This.
Because...once we start...who's next?
