Could Muslims Face Discrimination Following Marathon Bombings?

• If they feel unwelcome here, then they do have the freedom to return to the shithole they came from, I see no problem with that.

• Aside frm the root problem of government harrassing a private citizen the problem also lies in the fact that they hire morons to do this job. THey are uneducated, poorly trained, and exactly the tyope of people that get a little perceived power and are going to use it to make themselves seem more than they are. When a manager reads the printed instructions from the government and ignores them, there is a serious problem. Every one of these idiots should be fired. I particularly enjoyed the one agent thatspent the entire time standing around holding the woman's belongings.

• Okay I wanted to see that she sued, that the manager and the others were fired and that and that she won her suit. Seriously, I would have taken all their information as well and sued them all. That cop essentially told her the truth they were waiting for her. She though should have complained after she got home, but overall this is not way to treat an American citizen and this needs to stop.

• If Muslims want to stop being "discriminated" against, then they need to step up to the plate and PROVE that they are not all radicals who want to kill us. I mean, I KNOW that's true - I know several Muslims who are really nice people, and who I don't think would kill me. But the fact is that there is NO VOICE for peaceful American muslims.

  Just like the ghetto slums, where young black men terrorize everyone and no one speaks up, these "peaceful" muslims let their terrorist brothers make all of them look bad. I heard that many people from the older brother''s mosque recognized them, instantly when their pictures hit the news and internet. And not one came forward? Not ONE. Why? If they are peaceful American citizens, why would they "protect" their mosque-mate? Why wouldn't they all be lined up to yell at the top of their lungs - "THIS GUY DID IT! He's a bad seed! He's not like US!"

  If they won't stand up and defend themselves against stereotypes, then too darned bad. We know... FACT... that there are some very bad muslims, and that they will stop at nothing to destroy as many innocent white people as they can. If "innocent muslims" don't want to be painted with the same brush, they better stand up and show us WHY we can trust them.

  • I am getting to the point now where i am convinced that Islam, today, isn't too different from the totalitarian regimes we saw in the last century. What I mean is, who cares if some Muslims are moderate or peaceful? They don't matter. I'm sure there were plenty of peaceful Germans in the 1930s, Russians, during the Cold War, etc. but they were irrelevant. The X% of Muslims who are killing others or abetting those do matter and until we recognize that Islam is as much an existential threat to the US as the Nazis, Imperial Japanese, and Soviets were we will lose to them or fight one hell of an apocalyptic war after we lose a city to a really big bomb. Wrong? I don't think I am.

    • That's exactly my point. Unless these so-called "peaceful" muslims stand up and force their brethren to stop their evil ways, they deserve to be suspect themselves. "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing"... So, if these "good" muslims do nothing, then they are part of the problem. I am not going to go out of my way to protect, help or sympathize with them.

      • No such thing as a hateful Christian, or a peaceful Muslim. If you don't follow the teachings of Christ, you're not a Christian. If you don't follow the teachings of Mohammed, you're not a Muslim. Just my opinion.

        • I know it shouldn't, I really do, but this left me smh. I realize the site headline is tongue in cheek, but the phrase is used in the AP article too.

        • You have got to be kidding me.

        • Get used to it KQ because if you keep trying to see something peaceful in Islam and similar to the violence in Islam in Christianity you're going to get a headache. About the only thing the lefties and the mussies can rely on is our national ignorance on what really happened during the crusades and why. We didn't just decide to go into the orient and beat-up and kill muslims. They had been murdering, raping and pillaging christian and jewish lands for four centuries before we actually decided to even get mad enough to do enything. The victims here are and have always been the christians. I'm so done feeling sorry for these throwback motherf***ers. I don't care if they seem to be nice or not, they need not to be here...period. They need to go back to their sandhollows and stay in their camel wool tents and leave the rest of the advanced sane world alone. But I'm pretty sure that God is using them to punish those of us who have traded sanity for political correctness and abortion and all the other atheistic marxist shit we've brought on ourselves in the last few hundred years.

        • Given the fact that the average college graduate of the last 2 decades cannot identify a picture of George Washington. are we really surprised that they don;'t know world history? I took world history in College, but I don't remember more than a glancing touch on European history when I was in school. And that's when they were actually trying to teach something.

• For all the problems Israel has, this isn't one of them. You know why? They profile the right people. They don't waste their time profiling the old black lady flying across the country to see her grandchildren or the 6 year old flying with his family for the first time so he can meet Mickey Mouse and Goofy. They know who's potentially a threat and give zero fucks about offending them. If we had a Commander in Chief who actually gave a crap about our true allies and was willing to learn from them instead of kowtowing to political correctness at the expense his own country's security, this department could actually be run efficently and actually do the job they are supposed to do. Maybe next election, but I'm not holding my breath.

  • The TSA is not supposed to stop terrorism at all, it does exactly what it was meant to do.

• The TSA in action:

• REPEAT AFTER ME
  NO ISLAM NO TERRORISM

• This will sound a bit conspiratorial but consider this: the TSA has done its job. For 10 years they have conditioned anyone who flies (most of us) to submit to the will of the government. The bullshit security process at the airports are nothing more than a simulation of prison camp life and a demand to the acquiescence of a perceived authority. How do I know this project was a success? Because Boston was under martial law for two bad guys! No one has objected despite a complete rejection of the 4th Amendment. The cowed population submitted just as the those who conditioned us knew they would. I think I am more depressed about that than the two jihadis and their pressure cookers. This country is effed.

  • You're exactly right. Well said.

  • I'm cynical enough to go there with you. If we aren't effed yet, we will be soon, if this sh*t keeps up.

• She should call Fox News and see if she can get a national audience for this. These TSA stooges are a freekin joke!

• One of these days they're going to piss off the wrong person.

  • And "they" will hope it is a Conservative Christian so they can justify their behavior. They are not pissing off Muslims aren't they? If she was a Muslim and ESPECIALLY if she had complained she would have been given the alternate screening and put right through.
