But why, after 20 years of terrorism in the name of Islam, must was STILL ask them to help.Guns aside, and imo banning guns is a stupid and hopeless distraction, the OP answers your question. Muslims come here because they want a better life, and to be able to give their kids better lives. We need to treat them like all other Americans and expect them to speak out against violence and alert the cops if somebody is acting suspicious.Actually, no one is really addressing the real issue.If they have joined the enemy, they have become wartime noncombatants giving aid and assistance to the enemy. That includes their families. Sad, But they chose."we can't deport us citizens" but apparently we can target them for death by drone LOL
And you understand that a citizen doesn't have to LEAVE the continental US to join the enemy right? Now, I don't know about you, but I certainly don't want drones taking people out in THIS country.
Al-queda had a central command. The plans were laid out and then discussed electronically around the world. Fortunately, we were able to intercept much of that "chatter"...albeit, we missed the 9-11 one.
Now? The enemy does not receive "orders". The enemy simply wakes up one morning in Toledo Ohio and decides "today I will be a martyr" and kills a dozen people.
We can not anticipate that. There is nothing to intercept. There is no "planning"......
As ridiculous as Trumps idea sounds...can anyone come up with a better one?
As I see it, the left does not want us to have semi automatic weapons to protect ourselves. The police have to think twice before taking action. We can not identify a possible threat based on them being Muslim.....and our intelligence agencies have no way of knowing what Joe Shmo will be the one who wakes up on a Tuesday deciding to take out 20 people in the name of Isis.
Anyone have a legit plan?
Anything, or anyone, detracting form their inclusion into American society and the American dream is counterproductive, and dangerous.
We treat them as Americans. They have all the rights any American has. Sure, they are victims of bias just as any religious, racial or ideological group is in the US....but that is part of living in the US. Beleive me, being a Jew growing up in an Irish/Italian neighborhood wasn't always peaches and cream. But it is part of being an American.
But that did not stop me from doing my part to stop some pretty ugly criminal acts that I have witnessed over the years.
Why do we need to treat them differently to do what any American should do?
For the exact same reason blacks in america are so far behind compared to other ethnic groups in the US who have thrived after years of poor treatment.
The liberals have convinced them that they are victims, and being as they are after all just people they have bought into it. Not ALL Muslims of course, but the vast majority of Muslim Americans have bought into the notion that they are victims.
Blame morons like Jake and company who consistently run around screaming that the right blames ALL Muslims for terrorism and pretty soon you have moron Muslims believing that shit and they are like "screw you America, you hate me, I'm not helping you"
