No, but there is no question that high risk individuals for visas and immigration should be scrutinized very well. * * *

We are not there yet, but anything is possible. It would have to be an Armageddon scenario wherein the Muslim world declared all-out war on Western civilization, and possessed the means to prosecute it. In such a clash of civilizations, if American Muslims declared loyalty to the forces of the Koran, we would have no choice but to quarantine them. It seems farfetched but not out of the question. If it happened, I don't think it would be necessary to have a referendum, as there would be few who would object. In the WW11 case, as I recall there were over 10,000 Japanese-Americans who refused to take a loyalty oath to the U.S., which gives credence to the fears that prompted the internment. My quarrel with E is her cheap-shot second-guessing of FDR with the benefit of 60 years of hindsight. The decision was made as an emergency measure, and it is all too easy (and snide) to condemn it from the leisure and safety of historical distance.
