I'm not saying foreigners trying to kill American citizens aren't a threat, and aren't something to be taken seriously. It's just that you guys severely overinflate the threat. I'd be willing to bet my entire retirement fund that I'll make it to retirement - that's 35 to 40 years from now - without being killed by a terrorist.

That's the worst possible infringement of civil rights. Furthermore, the vast majority of Muslims aren't radicals ... but it only takes a <a href="http://www.brainshavings.com/2004/09/270-million-suicide-bombers-1.html" rel="nofollow">sizable minority</a> to make the threat a critical one.

“Islamofascists” cannot take away my liberties. And the vast majority of Muslims are not radicals out for Western blood.

Furthermore, the vast majority of Muslims aren’t radicals … but it only takes a sizable minority to make the threat a critical one.

Christofascists have the money, the position, and the desire to ruin our country. Whackjobs protesting in the Middle East do not.

You absolutely refuse to comprehend the threat posed by the jihadists.

LOL. Osama pushing the button. Funny you should mention the O word. Whatever happened to that guy anyways? Deaths are tragic, but the fact pretty much remains that we are more likely to die in traffic going to work tomorrow than we are from a terrorist strike. I'm heavily insulated from probability because I work from home. ;-) But good luck with that fear thing. One things Bush has made us all do is wise up. Go play that shit in your '04 time machine brother. Ain't gonna work nowadays. #2: I might remind you that we have those on our streets who "thank god for dead soldiers" in the name of a christian god. i hope like hell those around the world don't see this and think we are all like this. don't you? #3: Bubble of ignorance is an interesting charge coming from a modern day conservative. Unpleasantness is all over. Keep turning over stones. Unless of course you wanna live in a bubble of conservative ignorant bliss. Christofascists have the money, the position, and the desire to ruin our country. Whackjobs protesting in the Middle East do not. How's that for piercing your bubble of ignorance?

And the <em>vast</em> majority of Muslims are not radicals out for Western blood. Home-grown extremism - whatever it's motive or motivation - is a much more immediate danger. Especially when people who think some citizens should be stripped of said citizenship can find themselves in the White House. “Islamofascists” cannot take away my liberties.

I suppose you have deep-seated reasons to avoid confronting the unpleasant aspects of Islam and its practice worldwide. Islam's ugliness doesn't fit your narrative about the primary threat to America being Christofascist Godbags skulking in dark alleys.
