Your response to the tragic terrorist attack in Nice, France last night stinks of discrimination and McCarthyism. It is no different than saying all Blacks & Hispanics are suspect until proven innocent simply because those races participate in gang membership more than other races. It is also no different than saying all Catholic men are suspect because some priests committed heinous crimes against children. Most US mass shootings are committed by white American men claiming to be Christians. Should we interview every Christian white male in the US to see if he is a racist nutball?
Let's face it, if an ISIS sympathizer wants to do damage, s/he is not going to TELL an interviewer that s/he is here to do damage, nor is s/he going to admit they support Shariah Law. It is idiotic to even suggest we can weed terrorists out by interviewing all Muslims. Given our government is already at 100% debt-to-income ratio, how do you propose you pay for this massive law enforcement and immigration effort? The right answer here is simply to continue efforts to identify the extremists via their behaviors, associations and participation in social media targeting that audience. The moment we begin antagonizing or targeting Muslims in this country simply due to a loose religious association, we topple the freedom the extremists so despise and accomplish their task for them.

A Sane American
