    If being an apologist is wrong, I don't want to be right... or something like that. :)

    Just apologize so we can move on.

    Anyhoo, apparently identifying people who actually are trying to do violent things will never work (despite the fact it has), so it's time to build some internment camps. I say we round up everyone who is the shade of Priyanka Chopra and darker (because who wouldn't want to round her up), but lighter than, or equal to Halle Berry.

    Sorry Indians, both dot and feather. Safety first.

    My car almost swerved into the islamic center down the street from the shop..... I wasn't intending to it just started pulling that direction... weird.
    I need to get it aligned.

    Did your car swerve to the right? Because if your car swerves to the right, it might have nothing to do with location; it could just be a TrumperCar

    Khomeni, at the very time you quoted, was applying Islam to politics. He was active against the secularism of the shah. His political ambitions are what caused his exile. So, it isn't like he discovered political activism late in life.

    Further, Khomeini - neither at the time, nor currently - speaks for all muslims. In fact, he doesn't even speak for all Shia. The generalization that "all Islam is [something bad]" is easily refuted by all the "mainstream" muslims in the west and elsewhere.

    Such generalization is not only a pet peeve of mine, but it is dangerous in the context of fighting terrorism. If every muslim is a threat, then the only option is a police state.


    Not quite. There is the lesson Japan taught us about dealing with fanatics in The Two, and there is that glass parking lot thing (both of which have some overlap)

    If suspecting those who have repeatedly pledged to kill me is wrong, I don't want to be right.

    Maybe it's time the ummah deals with these people. I could wholly support that.

    So let's break that down a bit.

    How many have pledged to kill you? In the US, it is a number statistically close to zero. (And there's a good chance an undercover FBI agent helped them do it.)

    Whatever the number is, let's absolutely pay attention to those people. There's at least probably cause to believe that they deserve it.

    For the millions of others, though, probably not worth it.

    As to your second point, I gave up posting about all the muslims - ummahs and otherwise - who openly reject terrorism. INGO doesn't want to hear it.

    Is it a lawyer thing to cloak INGO negatively?

    Gotta love all the good INGO professional advice we get, but this isn't the first time an INGO attorney has thrown all of us into a category, a bad one at that.

    INGOers gonna INGO.

    And the irony of you getting butthurt at being grouped negatively is noted. ;)

    So we're gonna dismiss my "Priyanka to Halle" plan out of hand?

    I'm doing this for all of our safety. Think of the children.

    "As you wish" - like a Princess Bride thread?

    Its a classic, sure, but I'm not sure it deserves its own thread.
