That's ridiculous.

>>How do we distinguish between the normal Arab-American citizens and the Arabs who are here to kill us? How do we tell if our Arab cab driver is here in America to make an honest living, or if he is here to go to secret meetings to plan another horrific attack? <

We can't, so send them all back to their terrorist harbouring countries.

What about all of the Japanese, they were once at war after all.

Heck, while we are at it, all those of British decent, they fought against what became America.

Bringing things closer to present time, do you send all the Irish back to Ireland, there are after all Irish terrorists in North America? And all those of Irish decent somewhere in their past, since we can't tell exactly what they are thinking?

The kind of thinking you are promoting leads to states such as Hitler envisioned.

I recently sat in on a citizenship ceremony here in Canada, where my wife, an American, also became a citizen of Canada where she has made her home for some time. It was clear that many of the new citizens of my country were very deeply moved and in tears, of joy, in being accepted as equal citizens of my country.

As the judge read from the list of countries from which they came it was listening to the evening news of trouble areas around the world. I can only imagine some of the stories that led people to seek out Canada.

Remember, the vast majority of immigrants and those who follow faiths other than your own are law abiding citizens who want to live better lives and probably hold exactly the same dreams as you do.

Your comment:

We can't, so send them all back to their terrorist harbouring countries.

... is exactly the kind of fear and hatred that the terrorists promote in their own lands.

Don't let them win you over too and become an unwitting accomplice to their own goal of fomenting terror and hatred.
