How do you know that she was just doing shopping? I??m sure that the ones who have bombed places in other countries were also thought to be ??just shopping?, by the people around them. I??m just advising that radical fundamentalist Moslems, especially disguised in burkas, and carrying large bags, should be watched.

I'm not trying to be a "hero", or "impress" anyone. The Army is not here doing anything directly to stop terrorism in New York City, or most of the rest of the country. Whether the Iraq war helps us, or was necessary, remains to be seen. Besides, even if I were young enough to join, I'd be 4F due to several things.

It's up to citizens to help stop this - the police need our help. I do not mind being stopped and having my gym bag or knapsack searched when entering the subways, etc., but I think that the people that are affiliated with Islamic fundamentalism should be subject to the same thing. Citizens should be alert and partner with the police.

I'll tell you something: Some members of minority communities in New Jersey, the Bronx, Brooklyn, ect. have no qualms about beating the living shit out of Moslems. This is wrong. I just want them to be watched, like everybody else - not less. The burkas should be illegal to wear in the streets. Some MOSLEM societies have banned them over the centuries. Here's something that I agree with them on, albeit for different reasons.

Bringing a potentially dangerous person to the attention of the police is not "snitching". There is no reason that the police, who have been put back in the subways since last summer's threats of attacks on NYC, should be ignored and/or feared by honest citizens. I'm paying them, with my taxes, for protection, and I'm going to use their service as I see fit. This is NOT the same as reporting a shoplifter, tax cheat, welfare fraud, etc., to the authorities
