Why take the chance? If you just remove every "blowhard" who makes threats like that and make an example of him/her, maybe the others will rethink their actions. Kinda like that kid in Indonesia who spray painted cards and got his azz caned ...

Then we'd be talking about removing an awful lot of people, including many of us on these forums who rant about carpet bombing the Middle East.

Just got this in my email from Zogby:

American Muslim voters are overwhelmingly supporting Democratic presidential
candidate John Kerry over Republican George W. Bush, according to a new
American Muslim Poll conducted by Zogby International for Georgetown
University's Muslims in the American Public Square (Project MAPS).By
a margin of 76% to 7%, Muslims back the Kerry/Edwards ticket over
the incumbent Bush/Cheney ticket. This is a stark reversal of fortunes
from the 2000 election for Mr. Bush. The poll consisted of a telephone
survey of 1,700 Muslims, and an over sample of 146 face-to-face
interviews of African-American Muslims. The margin of error is +/-2.3
percentage points.

"This contrasts sharply with the 2000 election, when Mr. Bush garnered
42% of the Muslim vote versus 31% for Democrat Al Gore," said Dr. Zahid
Bukhari, director of Project MAPS. Zogby International and Project MAPS
conducted the first American Muslim Poll in November 2001 with a margin
of error of +/-2.4%.

Nuff said.

Okay, now that I've read the email in its entirety, to me. African-American Muslims. Probably all just got out of prison.

No, there's a big difference between ranting about carpet bombing the Middle East and ranting about carpet bombing the US.

I'm in favor of innocence until Proven guilty. A concept that your kind seem to have tossed out the window with your watch lists and secret evidence crap.

I have no watch list or secret evidence. I am a mere suburban wife and mother, concerned about the safety of my children and my fellow Americans.

So what would prove them guilty, in your opinion? Actually blowing something up or killing someone?

Do you believe in the existence of (a) god?

Maybe he is on their watch list, but they can't exactly deport him. And if they tried to restrict his travel, he would become a martyr of sorts and they can't afford that.
