Time to go convert some infidel, if you catch my drift.

If I'm going to hell anyway, I'm gonna sin on the way, if you catch my drift.

I guess we're in for a lot more jihad.

Re: CANCELLED FLIGHT....Very Important To Keep Passing Along

how do you equate peaceful religion with women who stay home covered head to toe who waste their life??

These?

You can only watch porn prior to a Jihad? Dam, Islam is an oppressive religion!

Yeah, but it was your comparison.

Catholicism doesn't allow women clergy. Many evangelical protestants still believe the wife must obey her husband. Orthodox Jews have strict codes as well.

Does that mean they aren't religions of peace, either?

Don't forget all those wacky guys doing God's work by bombing abortion clinics!

timp must be opposed to all of these then, since mitt's wife has wasted her life.

timp's word, not mine.

Yeah, but it was your comparison.

So again, how does clothing choice reflect on level of peacefulness?

What does the clothing they wear and staying at home have to do with peacefulness?

I love mookie's racist drivel. Islam is a peaceful religion. Radical Christianity is more of a threat to the USA than Islam.

I agree. And will support any effort to expand TSA's budget to include even MORE pat downs of crying 3 years old.

Because that wouldn't be a gross overreaction at all.

You are treated worse trying to get on an airplane than you are visiting someone in jail. Hell, you're probably treated worse than someone being booked and put into jail, at least in most places. There is something really, really wrong with that.

The fact the TSA is trying to expand its reach to trains and automobiles is asinine.

Living right at the epicenter of The Fear, with signs at every subway stop and on all the main highways into the city saying "See something? Say something!", it's impossible to reconcile all the competing issues into one simple solution. There is danger, the IC is doing great work, there is also political opportunism and a lot of xenophobia and racism, which if anything makes the danger even worse (thanks a bunch, Congressman King). All we can do is keep trying to course correct, erring on the side of safety. And that's really what most of us have been trying to do.

Sadly, just because the whole thing has been an enormous payday for a lot of creepy people doesn't mean there aren't legitimate dangers to address. But every war, hot and cold, has been like that. There were financial (and political) profiteers in WW2 -- didn't mean Hitler wasn't a threat.

I agree. And will support any effort to expand TSA's budget to include even MORE pat downs of crying 3 year olds. Absolutely what we don't need is the recognition that the threat of terrorism is not spread evenly through society.

Okay, I laughed. But remember, prior to 9/11 James Woods saw some young Muslim dudes acting strangely on a flight and didn't think too much about it. After 9/11 he told the FBI and others about it. Turns out it really was a dress rehearsal for the big day. 'Course now we have TSA, on ostomy bag patrol, to protect us.
