Next: Internment camps? (one step closer to facism)
December 18, 2004 ( politics )
From ABC News:
Nearly half of all Americans believe the U.S. government should restrict the civil liberties of Muslim Americans, according to a nationwide poll.The survey conducted by Cornell University also found that Republicans and people who described themselves as highly religious were more apt to support curtailing Muslims' civil liberties than Democrats or people who are less religious.
...
The survey showed that 27 percent of respondents supported requiring all Muslim Americans to register where they lived with the federal government. Twenty-two percent favored racial profiling to identify potential terrorist threats. And 29 percent thought undercover agents should infiltrate Muslim civic and volunteer organizations to keep tabs on their activities and fund-raising.
...One nation, except for them other folks, with liberty and justice for rich white people.
Remind me, please, that when we have an Anti-Islam Kristallnacht, it's seriously time to go very, very far away. We CAN learn from history, and we can chose not to be the permissive populace.
