That is missing the point of my post entirely. Bad people are bad people. There are bad people everywhere. Some bad people are men, some bad people are women. Some bad people are white. Some bad people are black. Some bad people are heterosexual. Some bad people are homosexual. Some bad people are Muslim. Some bad people are Christian.
Not all men are bad. Not all women are bad. Not all white people are bad. Not all black people are bad. Not all heterosexuals are bad. Not all homosexuals are bad. Not all Muslims are bad. Not all Christians are bad.
Condemning a whole group just because some bad people belong to that group is short-sighted and ignorant. THAT is my point.

I just want to point out that 9/11 gave us the Patriot Act, NDAA, DHS, TSA and a great loss of freedoms and privacy thanks to the NSA.
While I think it appropriate to punish this dirtbag, I fear the loss of freedoms if we (as a culture) start attacking others freedoms to honestly and peacefully practice.
However, the part of the point that you fail to miss is that there are indeed bad people and groups of bad people and it does no one any service to ignore bad people in order to appear more tolerant.

However, even he thinks Americans are moronic in their refusal to see the facts of the matter whilst stumbling over themselves to appear more tolerant and enlightened than their peers.

Obviously not all Muslims are bad, I entrusted my interpreter in Iraq, a Muslim (just the wrong kind of Muslim to the Jihadists), with my life and I'm still friends to him today.

I have no problem assisting this guys desire to take a dirt-nap.
I'd stand in line to help!
But just because some loser with a history of criminal violence claims Islam, I'm not one to start a jihad against all who practice that brand of faith.

There's one motto of our brave men fighting over there fighting these animals: "It's God's job to judge the terrorists.......it's our mission to arrange the meeting."

It's a shame a few nutjobs insist on blaming an entire religion for the actions of a few, it's that type of thinking that leads to this sort of violence against innocents.

Where's the outrage from Muslims about violent Islamics? Where's the condemning of ISIS by your average Muslim about beheadings?? It's not there to any decent level, because they are one and the same. They are both in the same bag. They are violent and need to be banned from this country or else put into camps, labor camps where they can be watched. Isn't that what we did to the Japanese during WW2? Give them 30 days to get out of the country, or else be rounded up and given jobs that pay at least a dollar a day.
The attacker, identified as Alton Nolen, was shot by police and taken to hospital.

What is moronic is to say that all white men are serial killers, or that all black men are rapists -- or that all Muslims are going to chop our heads off.

I suppose you've chosen a fairly apt moniker for yourself, as "Are you kidding me?" is pretty much what ran through my head after reading your post. I suppose it was inevitable that some deluded scum such as yourself would advocate putting American citizens in "labor" (Read: concentration) camps on the basis of their religion. Your suggestion is an affront to the principles this country was founded, and the irony is I'm sure you think you're being a true patriot. It's unfortunate to say the least...
