Good.. now you can move them all to some muslim country because I'm not willing to "risk the boogeyman". Because I know the boogeyman is real.. I hear him speak in plain view on Arabic TV through militant Muslim RELIGIOUS LEADERSHIP in these countries. We're not just talking street preachers here.. I hear him proclaim the forthcoming conquest of Europe and the "Two Americas" by Muslim Jihadists.youtube.com I'm sorry that you don't hear those voices. Or maybe it's just that you fail to pay them heed out of your arrogant ignorance. Maybe you just don't believe the power of the Militant Muslim message to the disenchanted Muslim youths. You don't understand the allure of the message being presented to an disenchanted, and ignorant, youth of the Islamic world. You don't understand that they believe Marxism has failed them, Capitalism has failed them, and the only thing they have to fall back upon is their Islamic history of religious conquest. Look at the crusades GR.. It was a war to re-conquer lands conquered by the Muslims, who were just as zealous in their initial conquest. We,the west, started this chain of events by overthrowing the Ottoman Turks and permitting the Saudis/Wahhabists to come to power. They, in turn, spread their militant views throughout the Arab world. And now those views are spreading throughout the Islamic world, including NON-ARABS. We let the Jinnn out of the bottle and I think we have a responsibility to help moderate Muslims deal with the menace. I really can't rely upon your "perspective" that they don't represent a threat to the US or American lives (including my loved ones). So put your loved ones at risk if you want. For me, that's not an option. Hawk
