However I wouldn't hang my hat on anything CAIR has to offer. Around here they spout all kinds of hate, refuse to say anything negative about extremism, nor be interviewed by the media. My feeling is that if American Muslims can't/won't be outspoken against their extremist brothers, in an out-and-out world blow-up they'll be rounded up into camps just like the Japanese-Americans in WWII... deservedly...

The thing we must ask ourselves is, had I been one of the cops would/should I have waited for the suspect to pull what ever he had in his pocket out and just hope it wasn't a gun? I should think there was a language barrier, and the suspect didn't understand what the cops were trying to tell him to do and the cops didn't understand the suspect's replies to their commands. The cops probably thought he was going for a gun, and weren't willing to just wait and see if he started shooting. Gordon

Sssshhhh. You shouldn't ask tricky questions like that ! Obviously it's a 'war' on the terrorists 'we' disapprove of. We'll call the other ones guerillas. That sounds alright doesn't it ? Graham

In Texas, people like you are called "all hat > and no horse." You might want to remember that private monetary matters are just that--private. Just because you chose to parade yours around in public just to show how big your genitalia are, doesn't mean that anybody else is obligated to. I guess Texans don't have any manners as regards the privacy of private matters. Eric Lucas

There's already been one of those and I don't think the public were fooled for long. Graham |
