Why it's counter productive to have the gov't suspect ALL Muslims
Look Trump AND yes
his supporters seem completely convinced that ALL muslims should be databased, spied on, mosques SHUT DOWN, deported or Banned from the U.S.. ...for starters... to protect us from TERROR!!!
Look the problems are clear constitutionally but that doesn't seem to matter to TEA party people anymore
So I'll post a few examples why it's piss poor policy and COUNTER productive to the goal or catching potential terrorist or stopping any terrorist acts.
here's example #1,
just because i found it 1st.
What the Paris Attacks ‘Mastermind’ Once Told an ISIS Magazine.
http://time.com/4114189/mastermind-b...isis-magazine/
This guy was in an freakin'
ISIS "magazine" boosting about how he was going to attack Europe.
do you think our intel agencies should have put a little effort into knowing when and where this guy went to the bathroom 24/7?
Was he making it hard for him to find? Is picking up a few copies of this mag a good way to find out who the real terrorist might be a decent idea.
maybe a BETTER Idea than putting a few 1000 people to work on a database of ALL muslims
Example #2.
NYPD: Muslim spying led to no leads, terror cases
Trump proposes that spying on ALL the mosques and putting all muslims into databases is a GOOD IDEA.
but New York City tried it (
unconstitutionally and lost a suit for doing it) for 6 years. and GOT ZERO leads to terror plots, or terrorist.
It seems that none of the New York mosques beheaded anyone.
Or where planning any attacks!
Or where harboring terrorist.
???
don't they read the news!!!
don't they read their Korans in those mosque?!! Don't they know they should be planning death to america?
Or could it be they they just weren't planning the eventual violent take down of the U.S.?
At least in any NY mosques, grocery stores, restaurants, student groups.
Or is it just that police obviously didn't look HARD ENOUGH i guess right?
or LONG ENOUGH they should do it 8years 10 years 20 years 50 years and then we'll REALLY SEE the muslims in Ny are out to KILL US ALL.
is there anything that shows so clearly the waste of money, time and energy than this?
There's this thing that good police have been using to track criminals for centuries.
It's called evidence, and suspicious activity, and real leads.
But being a member of any of the major religious groups of a billion plus people is not a qualifier.
Do i like islam. No.
Is islam naturally prone to more violence than most other religions? sure.. but mostly in the M.E..
Are most muslims "snakes" or sub-human? no. They are human beings just as crazy and confused as the rest of us.
Is it worth the time an effort and money to track them
all? No! not even close.
But why does it seem like a
good idea to many?
Maybe Because the human brain likes to keep things simple and it seems like an easy fix to pretend that people that are not in our group can be written off and treated differently if we feel threatened.
And our wannabe "Leaders" reinforce the theme over and over.
