1. Can you identify as a Muslim, or any traditional religion for that matter, and not actively support a terrorist organization?

2. Can you take an oath to be a State agent and not actively support a terrorist organization?

(Cheat sheet answers: 1. Yes 2. No)

US Muslims had to know, and 9-11 was the very worst attack. 3,000 died immediately, plus thousands more involved in recovery efforts via cancers traced to the materials involved.

It will never be 9-10-2001 again in terms of sentiments involved.

And? Are Muslims supposed to be able to stop EVERY terrorist attack?

All citizens with prior knowledge like the kid who knew 9-6-2001 should be required to come forward as soon as they have the knowledge.

To not do so is treasonous.

I do wish the NYPD still had the surveillance squads they used in neighborhoods with high Muslim populations in the months after 9-11. That was a superb idea.

If one has nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear. At the same time, I view it as a great means of statistically addressing potential terrorist threats.

No, most police unions are decidedly democrat voters. I would bet that 85% or more of cops in NY vote Dem.

Majority of police union campaign contributions goes towards Democratic Party candidates. Bet that’s not going to happen in future election campaigns. Seems the entire Democratic Party elected officials have turned their backs on the police entirely.

not all- and you know it. I saw plenty of cops march WITH protesters, yet they STILL got vilified for it. If you can;t even try to be a little objective, your opinions are worthless

I doubt most police officers are democrat voters, and there are more muslim democrat voters than police and growing. What democrat police voters there are, the democrats probably consider them the same as white democrat voters and the group can be scapegoated and the voters will still stay on the democrat plantation.

Last election the democrats scapegoated whites more directly and that didn't work. This election they're scapegoating the police and "systemic racism".
