1. give them the benefit of the doubt and wait for the first suicide bombing.

2. Or take caution.

I take caution. When I see a Muslim in America I can't help but wonder if they are peaceful or the next suicide bomber. Call it racism but the fact is I have read too much about suicide bombings, beheadings, etc to not fear a terrorist atteck happening in the US.

The more muslims we allow into America the better the chance of one being an extremist and a terrorist attack happening. At this point I see it as inevitable.
Fair enough. I am a bit paranoid of something happening. I mention in the previous post that "if we never allowed any muslims in the US we wouldn't have had 911." No that is a true statement. But my beliefs are if we are going to allow them in we should be pretty damn sure they are not a terrorist. I'm not against them being here or multiculturism in the least bit. Most of my friends are of another race.
Perhaps there was a misunderstanding. The first quote I posted from you seemed to me at least to indicate you were advocating not letting muslims in because one of them might be a terrorist. If that is not yur position then I apologize for the term I used. It was that comment that I based it upon.

Of course I do not believe this. I am quite sure there are in fact radicals still here and I am equally quite sure that there will be another attack in the US at some point in the future before this is all over. How we deal with it though it seems says a lot about our principles and dedication to the democracy we have spent 230 years developing.
