#3 "Some part of me says that they shouldnât have to do that, because naturally Muslims are law-abiding citizens, and they cooperate on the side of whatâs just,"

All muslims are law'abiding citizens? What about a large number of these "law abiding citizens" who have recently, in the U.S. alone, been arrested, indicted and convicted for various offenses, many tied to terrorist activities. If the muslims in that community wanted to demonstrate their patriotism for this country, they would be only too happy to cooperate with law enforcement. Get over yourselves...many of us non-muslims have been stopped, questioned, searched, etc. We understand the seriousness of the present situation. Crazyfool is right...but I find it interesting that muslims consider islam a race...

#4 All muslims ARE terrorists, as far as I'm concerned. Until they, individually, prove otherwise, I'm convinced they're all terrorists. muslims are filthy, stinking animals.....and compulsive liars.

#5 Halfass Pete, while you are a little over the top with the filthy stinking animals part I have to agree that they tend to be liars when speaking to non-muslims. Their lack of responsibility within the Muslim community has caused most Americans to no longer trust them and I assume if there is another 9/11 sized attack the Muslims in the US will learn what true profiling and anti-Muslim attitudes look like (imagine Jews living in France right now).

Man, there were Japanese and Germans that signed up to fight in WW2 to prove they were Americans, even while many Japanese were rounded up. I hoped the Muslims in America might do a similar thing, but no, instead they cry about a handful of incidents and lay low until they are certain who will win the conflict. Cowardly buggers.

#6 Yank, with all due respect,(to you), muslims are filthy, stinkin' animals......PERIOD! Nothing you may say will change that FACT.

#7 If we claim that there are X number of Arabs who have committed a terrorist act, that is not racial profiling, that is statistics. And if they're statistically more likely to commit terrorist acts, then searching Norwegian grandmothers and letting Arabs stroll by is just stupid.

#8 "....naturally Muslims are law-abiding citizens, and they cooperate on the side of whatâs just," Wahid said. Mohammed Shafiq.." Leaving the decision as to whats just up to him. Hmmm let me see. How aboput this. If you know of anyone who is going to break the law and attack anyone or anything in the USA were you live you should report it and leave the "just" part up to a judge and jury. Quit carving exceptions for yourself and religion because you are a muslim. You are a citizen of the USA and have obligations to your counrty. If you have to hem and haw about turning in some law breaker or terrorist because he is muslim I suggest you consider imigration to Canada where they put up with this kind of crap.

#9 Logic 101 (in my book...let's go to school):

"All Muslims are not terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims"...how 'bout that one? And I'm with C.F...who the f#ck do they think they are trying to portray Islam as a "race" (although they do want it to be). We may be profilin'...but it's not RACIAL profilin', but RELIGIOUS (ROP) profilin', eh?

#10 One thing that has been lost upon this discussion is how the FBI has asked the Muslim community to police itself. This is a very important concept in that moderate Muslims must soon begin to identify militant jihadists within their ranks or merely be lumped together with all terrorists.

This is among some of the last chances that American Muslims will be getting. Soon enough the profiling will start in earnest. Far too much terrorism is a result of Islamist violence for authorities not to focus specifically upon this one single source. If they refuse to help, they will become part of the problem instead of the solution.

Time is running out, as is patience. Should such total lack of cooperation continue to be forthcoming, when the next attacks occur, I will have far less of a problem advocating internment camps or mass deportations. Islam thinks it has carte blanch to continue its dissembling and subterfuge. Quite the opposite is true. People will take up arms against them soon enough, myself included.

#11 HalfAss Pete is my man. They are filthy stinking animals, and should be sent back to their filthy stinking desert, where they can pass the time cutting each others filthy stinking heads off.
