Some would say that the Southern and Christian viewpoint has been the
oppressing force for decades if not centuries. Certainly the African
American community has a legitimate claim to make on this point.

My point, which you obviously missed, is that you can't scapegoat your
way out of a complex problem. Inner city violence can no more be solved
by deporting all Blacks and Latinos anymore than terrorism can be fixed
by deporting Muslims. Especially since domestic Muslims are not the
problem, so deporting them based on their religion alone isn't going to
make things better (to say the least!)

Gee... I haven't seen any of that. Care to cite sources? However, as a
historian I have seen tons of pictures of nice white American Christians
standing around smiling at lynched Blacks who had the misfortune of being
in the wrong place at the wrong time. In fact, making post cards of such
events was a big business back in the earlier part of this century, and
in the North too. Based on your logic I guess we should have got rid of
all white Christians since they are obviously a bunch of blood thirsty
murderers. Unless of course stringing up minorities is OK so long as it
is Christians doing it.

True, but fighting a war that can not be won is a very bad idea. Muslims
make up, what, 1/3rd of the world's popluation? It's going to be a long
time before we can kill and subdue all those people. Look how much
trouble Hitler had dealing with a mere 6 million Jews. Learn from
history... you can't win ideological warfare by military action alone,
not to mention wholesale genocide or ethnic cleansing.

The worst enemies of Freedom are those who seek to take it away from
others under the guise of protection for a select few. Hate doesn't
solve problems, it only creates them. That is the way it has always been
and always will be. And that is why we are in the mess we are in today.
