It doesn't matter. Japan is America ally and perhaps one of the strongest one. Japan spent 49.8 billion annually on defense, and spent millions of dollars on American bases in Japan.

I agree with you that foreign policy has something to do with it, that is why you don't want to keep your enemies CLOSER, you want them to stay AWAY from you. Again, common sense stuff

I don't think anyone has any problem with a certain level of surveillance (within the limits of Federal law and the US Constitution) against persons suspected of holding extremist views. I certainly don't. What I DO have a problem with is the people on this board who support outright violence against any and all Muslims, the arbitrary shutdown of every mosque, and deporting Americans who happen to be Muslims. THAT is where I have a problem.

Those who believe we have a right to attack any and all Muslims just for being Muslim are just as dangerous as the Muslim terrorists themselves.

There is no anti-Muslim backlash. None. This is a non-story.

If the AG is looking for rhetoric that really does "edge toward violence," she might send her lawyers to the next Black Lives Matter march, but that will never happen and we all know why.

Could the current administration be any further out of touch with reality. Thanks to all the Democrats in power for such a wonderful gift to America..."Thank you!"

"The day after a horrific shooting spree by a "radicalized" Muslim man and his partner in San Bernardino, California, Attorney General Loretta Lynch pledged to a group of Muslim activists that she would take aggressive action against anyone who used "anti-Muslim rhetoric" that "edges toward violence."

Then why in the world would you say it doesn't matter?

Hillary will be more of the same.
I supported her in '08, but no more; she's become a rubber stamp for the Obama administration.

I doesn't matter if Japan bombs the muslim countries or not. Japan has no Muslim problem because Japan simply does't allow so many Muslims enter the country Hence, it doesn't matter. Got it>?

Why do you constantly blame the west for this terrorism problem? This blaming victim mentality needs to stop. These terrorists attack the civilians, CIVILIANS.

Crimes against humanity have often been blamed on the victims. You are part of the problems.

Go away
Exactly

Thailand and Philippines are being attacked by Islamic jihadists even though they have nothing to do with the Middle East. Their only crime is that they have a Muslim population within their borders.

Default Maybe the feds are doing their jobs, but the fact the media stormed the shooters

apartment is troubling:

Journalists storm San Bernardino shooters' apartment after landlord pries open door


I would think an FBI evidence team would be going through every fiber and looking for those middle eastern men seen coming and going from that apartment.


Again, maybe they are, but I have no confidence in this administration.
