so would  the "terrorists" think it  would  be ok  for us  to  fly a  plane  into  mecca  during  ramadan ?

Try not to confuse terrorists and Muslims. If you recall, we had a supposedly "Christian ex-US Military, Operation Desert Storm VETERAN" who blew up the Federal Building in Oklahoma. He, much like the filth that flew planes into buildings in Sept. 2001, deserve the same thing, they are one in the same.\n\nThis isn't a Christian vs. Muslim thing...or it shouldn't be, but with sentiment like what you are writing, and what the idiots protesting a freaking cartoon, we are all being led down a dangerous path.\n\nThink before you write things.

true, then there would be no reason for the arabic people to come over here and kill people so they can get into their "heaven".  And also that means we (government) would not be having these stupid court orders for the religion stuff.

The people that went to work on 9/11 wern't afraid either. No you can't live your life in fear but you better know that there is somone out there tha wants to see you dead. Do you think if given half a chance to come over here with a dirty bomb they won't take it? We thought we were safe before 9/11. What are trying to say? We should do away with national security? Bin laden is that you?

1st of all, the pilots of the plane are NOT going to fly an airliner into anything. The terrorists may kill them and fly the plane themselves, but it will not be the pilots. \n2nd of all, the plane will be shot down rather quickly, no matter where it is flying to...no ifs, ands, or buts about it. And 3rdly, I think that all the passengers would have had to be killed in this day and age...I no longer think we as passengers, are going to sit by like sheep and allow anyone else to kill us as in 9/11. If we are going to die, I, certainly for one, will go down fighting and take others with me...count on it.!

There is no such thing as a "civilian Al Queda". Anyone who proudly identifies themself as a member of an organization whose mission is to take over the world with brute force and terror, is an enemy of all humans. If I thought I had Bin Laden in the crosshairs of a Hellfire missile, I would launch. It would be nice to capture him alive, but dead is good, too.

Honey, there are many Muslims that are American too. It's not the good Muslims that are causing this and it would be an unjust move. Besides, sleeper cells would find another way in another guise to form their cells. So no, it would not be the right thing to do. The Muslims have just as much right to be here as Christians or Jews or Budhist or whatever. America is freedom and freedom applies to religion as well. God bless.=)

"It is a certain fact that not all Muslims are terrorists, but it is equally certain, and exceptionally painful, that almost all terrorists are Muslims." Abdelrahman al-Rashid, columnist for al-Sharq al-Awsat, Saudi Arabia.\n\nI don't think we in the west consider all of the Islamic Ummah to be a threat. For instance, the Muslims of Bosnia tend to be even somewhat fond of us, since it was western countries that liberated the Kosovars and others, and kept the peace. And the west has had good relations with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan.\n\nBut there certainly is a strong militant movement within Islam, and I think we are correct to see in this a threat. Even if there are only a few hundred thousand muslims in the world who think that flying planes into buildings is a noble act, or that the guys who blew up subways with backpacks were heroes, that's still a few hundred thousand people who are willing to use violence to harm us.\n\nWe would be foolish to ignore that threat, sadly.

9/11 has been in works since Operation Desert Shield. Even afterwards, while we flew Operation Northern and Southern Watch from Prince Sultan Airbase over Iraq, Bin Laden was fuming at the USA "infidels" being so close to Mecca. It was going to happen someday. GWB just drew the wrong card.

Destruction of poultry - would that amount to an act of terrorism ? I don't think so. \n\nA better and more dangerous method ,appropriate to a terrorist mind would be to introduce the mutated(the ones which can spread from human to human by respiratory droplets) strains of Bird Flu into some country.The resultant epidemic and the large scale of deaths would create panic amongst citizens and thereby qualify as an act of terrorism.

Arguementally,allowing the Arabs to buy and control our ports would be like selling our soul to the devil.\nThis will be allowing another 9/11 incident that much more possible to happen in the near future somewhere in our country,watch and see if I'm right or wrong as time moves on.

I think we are wary of muslams, it is a normal reaction to and action the way I see it. If 9/11 never happened it might be a differant story. But it did. I think to err on the side of caution is probably the right thing to do. Even though it probably doesn't matter who runs the ports.

Its very well possible. Remeber people are willing to kill in the name of Allah and will get an promtion in heaven with an orgy and virgins.

Personally I think it's just another prime example of how this country is going down the proverbial toilet. To flip out to the point that you wouldn't allow someone on a plane because they prayed?? Give me a flipping break!!! That is definitely one airline worker who is going to be swiftly out of a job. I joined the military to defend the things and ideas that make our country what it is...among those things and ideas is freedom of religion, and that freedom also includes the right to practice your religion as you see fit.

That was funny. I was thinking of verse 9.11 of the Qu'ran when I realised it was a direct reference to September 11..\nHowever, though it is a tragedy, there have been many more killings sanctioned by religions that aren't necessary Muslim.\nThat is a sad thing, for religion to be used as a basis of war.

To answer your question, yes. If other countries were attacked by lets say "U.S. terrorist", why shouldn't they be able to do what the U.S. is doing in the name of "War Against Terrorism." Would it be a wise choice, no, but I don't see a difference, they want to protect their territory, just like we want to protect ours.  They have their beliefs and live their lives accordingly, just like the U.S. have their beliefs and we live our lives accordingly.  We (U.S) will not let anyone dictate how we should live, so how dare the U.S. dictate how another country should live!\n\nAND I still want to know WHERE THE HELL IS BIN LADEN!  That's who we were going after, that's who I was told was responsible for Sept 11th; here we are almost five years later and NO Bin Laden, and he's still making tapes! What a damn joke!...The so call plan was to go after Bin Laden and his crew, at least that's what I heard from Mr. President, but now we (U.S.) seem to have shifted priorities.
