My point is a serious one (and I thought, readily apparent, but obviously not) and has nothing to do with "hate" and for cryin' out loud, stop calling me a terrorist. Makes you look like you're 6 yrs old.
This country and western civilization has an enemy which wishes to destroy it. They've stated it, their "religious book" states it. For the sake of the discussion, I will concede that not all muslims are terrorists. However, a serious percentage of muslims worldwide are either terrorist or support "soft" or "hard" jihad. Their intent is surely well-known.
So, the question becomes what are we to do? This enemy is serious and dedicated. Does anyone doubt that a nuclear strike would be imminent were they to get their hands on the goods?
My point is we don't know who is who. So, the issue is one of identification and trust, not fear or hate. If you have any good answers besides simply ignoring the reality of the situation, I'd be willing to listen.
(BTW, in my original scenario, the muslims were robed, specifically to hide the knife which would be used to cut your damn head off. And I don't recall saying to shoot them both. Crikey...)
