Thanks for the “heads up”, Debbie, I’ll be flying into Metro from Finland this Nov., and will make sure my doors to my rental are “locked tight”.
I’ll be visiting a mutual friend as well. “ArbY”

Did we allow Nazi’s and Imperialist Japanese to hold sensitive security positions defending munitions factories, shipbuilding facilities, and aircraft manufacturing plants during WWII?
Why don’t we just hand out guns and knives to every jihadist boarding a flight? We could even have them check off a box on their flight tickets;
Jihadist: Yes____
Jihadist: No____
If checked, “Yes”, please ask flight attendant for your choice of either a gun or hunting knife. Only one per customer, please.

We are going to have to have muslim free zones.

But, rumorcontrol, we do have laws against criminals. And if islam is allowed to come to fruition, we WOULD be living in a fascist theocracy. We need to rid our country of people who want to destroy us.

Rumorcontrol, do you fear Christians? Have any Christians threatened your very existence? Do Christians go around beheading people because they don’t follow the same belief or just out of pure savagery? Bring up the bombing of the abortion clinic all you want, it was one man’s doing, not from his church or synagague. And he was punished. Not revered. If we don’t allow Nazi’s and their ideology to run rampant in America, why allow islamics? Islam is an ideology and cult, not a religion.

RumorMonger said;
“No, I fear fundementalist (sic) zealots of ALL religions.”
Yet, which fundamentalist zealots of a particular religion are responsible for the murder of innocent people on a GLOBAL SCALE in the name of Allah for 1,400 years?
Is it;
A. Catholics?
B. Jews?
C. Quakers?
D. Lutherans?
E. Baptists?
F. Presbyterians?
G. Methodists?
H. Hindus?
I. Buddhists?
J. Mormons?
K. Episcopalians?
Talk about red herrings – that phony argument about fearing religious zealots of all stripes is the biggest, phoniest, red herring of all time, since no other religion, except Islam, produces zealots whose religion COMPELS them to commit murder. No other religion is as intolerant as Islam is. Every other religion allows practitioners of every other religion to practice in peace. It is only ISLAM that is intolerant of every religion and seeks the elimination of those religions and the forced conversion of its followers.
So, nice try, but I don’t see any other fundamentalist zealots as a threat to anyone, or any society except those spawn of Islam.

Rumorcontrol you need to school yourself on the crusades. The crusades were in reaction to hundreds of years af armed agression by islam.
I’m baptist and my wife and children are catholic and not once in either church has ANYBODY PREACHED TO ME TO MURDER SOMEONE OF ANOTHER FAITH!!!!!
So do not tell me christianity and islam are even remotely related in their goals!!
Your Antireligon-Fu is weak!!

RumorMonger is your typical, uneducated, LIBERAL, America-hating moron.
The Crusades were a direct RESPONSE to hundreds of years of brutal MUzlum conquests. The Muzlum crusades spread through Europe and they murdered millions of people and forced Europeans to convert to Islam. The Christian Crusades finally pushed back the Muzlum hordes.
RumorMonger, how is it that you couldn’t answer my original question?
You’re an apologist for Islam and you apparently hate America.
LMFAO!

I’m not religious at all, but if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck…..
Islam is not a religion. It is fanaticism, lunacy call it whatever you like. Its basis is the destruction of all who oppose it. Until the world wakes up to this gargantuan threat, we are all at risk.

The so-called “Lockerbie bomber” Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi was employed as the head of security for Libyan Arab airlines.

In actuality he was was a Libyan intelligence officer. It has been recently revealed he had 1.8 million UK pounds (~$1.2 million) in a secret bank account giving the lie to the Libyan govrnment’s claim he was simply an “airline worker.”

Enroute from London’s Heathrow Airport to JFK Airport, Pan Am Flight 103 was destroyed while flying over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew members. Eleven more people on the ground were killed by falling debris which smashed into a gas station and a row of houses, bringing the total death toll to 270. The majority of the victims were Americans, with 40 British citizens also killed.

The fact he was actually employed by the airlines shows how this type of security clearance can easily be used for terrorism. Any body who doubts the facts I’ve stated above can do their own research and arrive at their own conclusions.
