[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] [QUOTE]You DID read that bit, didn't you?[/QUOTE] Yes I did and thank you for pointing that out to me. In fact, I even made sure to include it in the quote that I took because I know the habits of people not to read varios links. Now Ann Coulter, besides being a right wing talking head, is a lawyer and she is trying to make a case. The case can be sumed up thusly. All terrorist are Muslim, therefor we must deport non-citizen Msulims from the United States for our own collective safety. From the case she is trying to make I should imagine that she is out of practice. It is an absolute absurity to made the qualification that only 7,000 people dead does a terrorist make. And it's only made so she can castigate people of Musilm heritage. There is simply no other reason to make it. Should numbers of deaths the only matter of degree when declaring all terrorists are Muslim? Any reasoned argument about terrorism would say no, that it is the intent is a factor as well. McVeigh used a devise that the military of today would call an instrument of mass destruction. He was a Terrorist. 168 people killed in a massive bombing. Is 168 not enough? Yes. McVeigh was a terrorist. He attacked civilians. He was a terrorist. He timed the attack to do achieve the most death and destruction without thought or consideration to the children or anyone else at the location. He did this to get the 'biggest bang' for his views that he could. McVeigh was a Terrorist. McVeigh was not a Muslim and yet he committed acts of great violence and destruction that there is no other word left for him than evil. That puts him in the same class of people that planned and executed the 11 September attacks. And it's bigoted to make a distinction based solely on religion. [QUOTE]Do you do something that will work, knowing that it's morally questionable at best...[/QUOTE] Honestly, I am having a very hard time believing that someone would even make such a claim. Help me out here. Since when is it only morally questionable to round up people based on religion in the United States of America?? Perhaps you could explain it in more depth Fo2. Why is ok to deport Muslims from a country based on religious freedom? Where even the Constitution grants free exercise of religion? I would point out that such roundups based on religion were carried out 60 years ago when it happened to Jews. The point is that it's not simply questionable. No, it's not the human thing to do. It's wrong. It's an outright and egregious wrong It's reprehensible. And it goes againt EVERY reason why America is here in the first place. [QUOTE] Um, okay, I could be wrong about this, but isn't/wasn't EVERY first-generation immigrant eligible for naturalization in the same way? Learn the stuff, pass the test, take the oath?[/QUOTE] That's incorrect. First generation Japanese were not allowed to become naturalized citizens nor were they allowed to own land. Here, let me direct you to the research that proves such. [URL=http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=us&vol=260&invol=178]TAKAO OZAWA v. U S, 260 U.S. 178 (1922) [/URL].
