We need to back away from xenophobia and islamaphobia and think about this in an objective way, rather than an emotional, blathering red neck way.
I do know there's more to the solution than silly assumptions that all Muslims are terrorists. I know there's more questions on the interrogation sheet. In the background checks. In the checkbox for "red flags."
It's factually true that "they" aren't all (or even mostly) radical Muslim fundamentalists.
There's more than "two groups." But the differentiation isn't difficult. Do they have terrorism relationships/connections? Are they holding training camps? Are they smuggling weapons? Are they spewing out statements about destroying the American people? Just a few ways to "differentiate."

So... I say some words are "cheap" and you immediately, as usual, rise up in arms with your "charitable responses!" My word was "costly and extravagant???" Oh yea! Maximilian, I don't know you and have no bone to pick with you...but your arrogance is overwhelming. Let me make a point or two before I sign off.
1)
Who in the thread has "spit" on the Constitution? Cute words with no meaning, as far as I am concerned....unless you're talking about Obama and some of his cohorts.
2)
Spit on fellow citizens? And who did that? You?
3)
Fringe radicals? You've got to be kidding! No one, that I can ever recall, has had more fringe radicals than Obama!
4)
Blathering red neck way Awe... there's some good words from the master orator! I guess these are "costly and extravagant!"
5)
All Muslims are terrorists ........ Who said that "ALL" (or even mostly) are radical Muslim fundamentalists.? Show me the post!
6)
Do they have terrorism relationships/connections? Are they holding training camps? Are they smuggling weapons? Are they spewing out statements about destroying the American people? So! we know all those Muslims in our country who are guilty of the above? Or are we victims of their secret lives and what they are doing behind our backs? But, don't question any of the many activities that are going on! To do so make us.... let's see???
xenophobia and islamaphobia!
