Arabs aka Muslims, Islamists, or whatever they're supposed to be called, as far as I can tell, define themselves through their religion. They don't really seem to have a country that they're proud of or would fight for, it seems it's all about religion to them. Maybe I misunderstand them, I don't know. But if that's what they tell me they are, then that's how I'll look at them. They're mad at "the Jews", well, Jewish is a religion, not a race, nor a country. Isreal is a country, they are populated with Isrealies. They never seem to yell about "the Isrealies", they're always defining their enemies in religious terms. Except the Americans, but then again, we're "the devils". Our country needs to secure it's borders, and IMO draconian steps need to be taken initially, and then after the problem is under control, more measured policies can be implimented. I do NOT care about foreign national's "feelings". The elected officials of our country are sworn to protect the Republic, and the citizens. The lack of support (until recently) by the Arab world in this whole mess should be a clue as to what they think. IMO they are just now jumping on the bandwagon because they realized that the ben laden's have the whole world (with the exception of the Arabs) against them, and if this all continues into a world conflict, they, NOT THE FREEWORLD, will be the latin language of the modern era. Had there been some possibility of China and Russia aligning themselves with the arab/muslim goal of re-arranging the world, I would bet serious money that they would have all lined up to jihad their asses off.
