And Muslims, and those that vaguely look "Muslim" have been committing lots
of terrorist attacks on US targets elsewhere in the world, have been vowing
to attack in the US, and on 9/11/2001 did so rather successfully.

Did a decent job on the first WTC bombing too.

And Khobar Towers, and the embassies, and the USS Cole, and.....

There's been at least one fatwa declaring war on the US.

McVeigh's been pretty quiet since he rode the needle. As have his
compatriots.

So as far as terrorists are concerned, yeah, I am a bit more concerned about
the jihadist followers of the "Religion of Peace". Those that just want to
work, live peacably with others, rasie their kids, I'm ok with.
Got to admit I'm not exactly fond of the diminished status of women in
Islam. Hopefully they'll be able to get around that.
I'm also not fond of those Christian denominations that would deny women a
more active role in the church either.
