I'm sure a slew of folks thought the same of their Japanese and German friends too about 68 years ago............
We cannot afford complacency

I completely share in Berts views on this.
If you look as the infiltration of the "religion of peace" everywhere across the planet you'll see that once their numbers are high enough the peace starts to fade, violence and non-Muslim intimidation becomes the norm. It's already starting here in America along with their push to institute Sharia law (which, to date, has been shut down, but...). We have a President and liberal majority hell-bent on eliminating the Constitution which is the ONLY protection against the eventual implementation of Sharia.
One day you'll look back and wonder how you could have been so naive.
To be fair, judging all Muslims by the actions of Hasan, the Tsarnaevs, and al Qaeda is somewhat like judging all Christians by the Westboro Baptist idiots. My frustration stems in part from the fact that most Christians of any other denomination condemn the Westboro crowd and it's hard to find the Muslims openly condemning Hasan and al Qaeda. If anything, CAIR pops up EVERY time there's an act of violence tied to Islamic extremism to accuse everyone else of Islamophobia while pointedly ignoring any request they recognize there are such things as Islamic extremists. It's like Hillary loudly proclaiming no one can question her patriotism or that of other Democrats when no one HAD questioned it -- all at the same time they were actively undermining any efforts to protect the country just because the guy doing the protecting was a Republican. JLook at how many people are claiming poor little Djokar is an innocent being victimized by the US.
As a general rule, I don't believe in conspiracies but there is a convenient overlap of agendas between anti-Western/tradition leftists and the anti-Jewish/Christian/Western Islamists.
Look at the foundations of the religion.
Christian foundations are laid out in the Bible. The Bible says nothing of killing non-believers as a practice to achieve salvation.
Muslim foundations are laid out in the Quran. The Quran says a lot about enslaving and killing non-believers as a practice to achieve salvation.
In my opinion, Westboro's behavior directly conflicts with the teachings of Christ.
Bert first off you know we love you to death over here
But going by your statement here are you saying that we should have killed/interned/kicked out all the Japanese/Germans in our country??
And as far as sharia law goes.....come on guys wtf I watch Fox over here 24/7 and even I think that's a lot of bullshit were going to all of a sudden as a society start chopping people's arms off???? Get rid of the laws this country was founded on?
Not suddenly. Look up incrementalism. As an example look at the way the liberals have been nibbling away at our gun rights. And property rights. And other rights. You can also look at England and what they are doing in Europe.
Any free, tolerant society is self destructive in the end because it lets those that don't believe in freedom achieve power.
No Ian, going by my statement simply infers that many Americans were quite surprised to find that many of their Japanese-American and German-American friends were sympathetic to their home countries cause during WWII. Many German-Americans returned to "The Fatherland" to answer the call as did a number of Japanese-Americans.
Do you realize that German-Americans were interred here in the states and even here in Colorado, Fort Logan to be exact?
We were a different nation then.
We as a nation had unity and we all had the common sense to NOT welcome the enemy to dinner.
Look at us now Ian.
We have Islamic sympathizers/ideology in all aspects of our government, from our highest offices of leadership, our military, our judicial system, our educational system, our medical system.
The Islamic creep you could say....
The Hasan case is a perfect example. Clearly this was a case of an individual committing his own personal Jihad on US military personell. We all saw that and the evidence was overwhelming.
But our system is afraid to call a spade a spade.
"Workplace Violence" my ass, he was not a disgruntled employee that got passed up for promotion, or got a pink slip, or his old lady was banging his boss.
He was a terrorist.
As far as Sharia in the states there are numerous examples of Sharia being practiced here. Honor killings, teenage daughters being beaten and killed for wearing western clothing etc. All been tried in our courts and so far, Constitutional law has prevailed.
So far.
The "Creep" continues, but we are too politically correct to stop it, we might hurt somebodies wittle feelers..
And the majority of the population laps it up like a pussy at the milk bowl.
We have become a nation of ignorant and complacent fools and we are going to pay a terrible, terrible price.
