Answer: If they hate us, then keep them out of the United States.

Second: Who told extremist Muslim are not a threat? they are, but again shall we put them all in the same basket...

Answer: I don't understand the wording of the question.


Third: Are you supposed to be some sort of expert, or do you have inside info? If so please tell me i'll be the first to agree with you then...if not please do not rely on news paper to take your information, too much money involved...

Answer: I was across the street from the WTC when they tried to bring it down in '93. I was a couple of blocks away on the morning of 9/11. My wife worked in the World Financial Center, next door to the WTC. She had a doctor appointment that day and was uptown.

The firehouse, across the street from the WTC, was emptied after 9/11 - and hundreds of other firemen and police officers lost their lives. Their Catholic chaplains were giving last rights to those that were doing rescue missions. People were jumping to their deaths - which I fortunately did not see.

Fourth: You try to diminish the credibility of someone on his past and yours and therefor give an opinion that is not objective...And we must not stick to what we already know otherwise we won't know anything else!

Answer: A person that has his home in Nebraska, and says that there is no threat of terrorism, is either stupid or living in a fantasy world.

Answer: As I said, we are barraged on a daily basis by the police and TA to report anything unusual. A person with a burka and packages should be looked at. I have to go through metal detectors, and have my knapsack searched AND put my cell phone, pocket change, keys, etc. through an airport-style metal detector every day, several times a day - and this has been the way it is for four years. I don't mind so much, and I'm not complaining if it means more safety. If I were to try to walk the streets with a hood over my head, like the burka-wearers, I'd be arrested, assaulted by civilians, or both.
This post has no emotional content, therefore please argue and bring down my ideas by an objective un emotional post...thanks

People that ride the buses and subways in New York City are constantly barraged with public address system announcements urging citizens to report suspicious packages, people, etc. Well, today I did exactly that. There was a woman, wearing a burka, with packages, on an elevated subway platform. She was sitting in the middle of a row of seats, and nobody was sitting beside her because they were wary. I knew that there was a police officer, below, in the station. I went down the steps and Rating: 5
