When people have to flee town and be under police protection how far are we from suicide bombers and assasination on our streets?

This article shows just how much better it is to be in America and to stay the hell away from conflicts in the middle-east.

I think it's stupid how the media has shortened terrorism to terror. "He is suspected of terror." It sounds so dumb. I guess the media was tired of spelling it out and decided to knock ism off. Ridiculous.

Frankly, New Yorkers who are sending death threats are terrorists. No matter how the feeble minded like to rationalize it. America is full of terrorists...

>>"deportation of Israelis and arabs who support terror would make US A lot safe."<<
You have got to be kidding! The people who were sending those threats were probably neither israelis or arabs. They were just irrational, feeble minded, radical, American citizens.
Edited to add: You don't have to be an Israeli to be an Israeli supporter..

This may be "old news" by now but I want to mention it anyway.
A Muslim Mosque in an upscale (million-dollar homes) San Francisco Bay Area community called Los Altos Hills was razed -- via arson -- last week. While the police, FBI, etc., have yet to name any suspects, the community itself has pulled together to overcome this overt act of hatred. A Jewish Synagogue, located just down the street from the burned-out Mosque, has lent its facilities to Muslim worshipers. Not only that, the Synagogue's members have been instrumental in raising funds and securing loans so that the Mosque may be rebuilt.
So take heart. If Jewish/Muslim compassion and right thinking can take place here, it can prevail elsewhere in the world...

Yeah, I know. My folks moved there before the yuppies came. Mom and Dad had their pick of lots for about $20,000, and they got the best one on the hill, with a beautiful view of the entire Bay Area.
After their shack is bulldozed, the property will be worth several million bucks. You can't buy a doghouse in LAH for under two million.
Me, I live in a studio apartment on the wrong side of the tracks.

Here in the Seattle area shortly after 9-11 there was a mosque vandalized and set fire. All the people of the community rallied round and helped. People can do the right thing .
