having been living in the deep south the last fifty years, I have never witness a white supremacist events in the local area. yes they was talk about klan recruitment in the 60's but even then the neighborhood consider them crackpot and gave them no attention.

but now there all this talk about white supremacist, which i considered just made up talk to stir an hornets nest. I really dont think its out there. what i see, people just going to work trying to make a living. kinda like the carpet baggers of the civil war era, somebody from outside trying to stir up trouble, but then time instead of travel, they use the media. kinda like all these uprising are the same people going from town to town, the new jesse jackson

Whether there's enough or not is subjective. Voting rights is under attack, affirmative action has been under attack since day one, and there is indifference when black people are gunned down in the streets by law enforcement. I see what many people in the conservative movement are fighting against so I'll be taking in your opinion with a grain of salt...

Now you’re mixing up screening terrorist threats with outbreak prevention. Two very different things…

Some of us are White and a few are even Muslim but we are ALL Americans and Jihadist behavior will NOT be tolerated.
Your statement is subjective while mine is objective. According to crime statistics there isn't one religion where the majority of participants have been convicted of a crime. I thought this was common knowledge but I was wrong. Feel free to look up crime stats if you want...

Sympathizers and believers of radical ideology never see problems. Even when those problems are right in front of their face! Over the last 50 years there have been many documented cases of white supremacist events and gatherings. There have also been some this very year.. Facts are facts! Are there as many cases of “white supremacist events” in the deep south today as there were in the 60s? No! But they’re happening non-the-less…

Second point.. You can really gage the value of someone’s character by reading their opinions on the civil rights movement. You have the crowd of people that think progress was made and you have the crowd of people that think “carpet baggers” and “outside agitators” ruined their perfectly good way of life by focusing on problems that were blown out of proportion by the media. Yes, it’s sad that some people lack the aptitude, attitude and ability to progress in their thoughts and let prejudice go…

People that want Mosques monitored are opening up a can of worms... A can that my turn on them because of their radical views...

When you ask Republicans this is the response party line non-thinkers give. Voter suppression have been in the courts.. But if you don't follow the actual issues you won't know...

You have a very unusual definition of the word many:


man·y
menē/


a large number of.







the majority of people.

This is where you actually see the assistance the "majority of peaceful Muslims" comes into play. When the "Minority of violent Muslims" use mosques to attack from or hide in and are attacked all of the peaceful ones come to the aid of the violent Muslims and declare that whoever is fighting the bad guys are attacking all Muslims. It does not seem unusual for Muslims to attack Mosques at all


This is when you see the truth. This is how they help.
