"BOOM"

thats great! im glad there are a few good muslims. but that is not representative of the majority, dont make that mistake

Just out of curiosity, what have you done since 9/11? Did you sign up to go over and fight?

There is just no swaying you. you just do not understand that they all carry the same mentality. if not 1.3 billion of them then 1 billion of them do. many just simply arent crazy enough to do something radical. its their mentality that bothers me. the fact that if they could they would celebrate a terror bombing if not participate in one.

I guess the nation building going on in Iraq and Afghanistan is pointless then since everyone over there has "bad mentality"? Even the right-wing Bush administration thinks otherwise.

It scares and saddens me that this sort of ill-informed irrational prejudice and intolerance can exist in a generally well-educated and diverse community like Folsom.

Or perhaps swimerdude and his ilk just enjoy stirring the pot. Trolls are best ignored.

Shields up.

i wish i could have signed up after 9/11 but i wasnt 18 and my parents werent about to let me go. yes, nation building is not what should be going on. we should nuke it sell the land to Israel because they know how to make wasteland prosper, unlike the muslims which have done nothing with the land in centuries

and what was that about folsom being diverse?

No surprise that you're young.... thankfully you have to be 35 to be POTUS. It'll give you some time to learn about the world, but perhaps you're already wise beyond your years. Please, enlighten us, which of these religions and people are good and which are evil?

Oh yeah. I know recruitment's tight these days, but I can just see it now:

"Why do you want to join the Army son?"

"Because I want to kill a billion muslim people and nuke half the planet and give it all to Israel! That's how it all starts you know. First they start with Intel and next thing you know they cut your throats! Today the Mac OS, tomorrow the world!"

"Ummm.... son, that's not really what the Army is all abou...."

"Guns! When do we get guns? And nukes! I want the launch codes! Muhammed Ali is a sleeper agent! And that kid on Johnny Quest too - Haji or whatever! They're all the same! All evil! Destroy!"

"Now, now. Uh. Well now. I'm fairly certain Haji was supposed to be Hindu. You do realize that a lot of your fellow soldiers would be muslims too, maybe even some of your commanding officers, right?"

"Kill them too - All evil! What has that part of the world ever done anyway?"

"Besides inventing writing and math? Look son, I admire your enthusiasm, but threatening to kill other US servicemen is a court martial offense and in good conscience I can't allow..."

"Nuke them all! Launch codes! Intel sleeper cells!"

"Okay son, breathe in now... breath out... there you go. Do ummm... do your parents know you're here? Is there maybe someone we could call to come pick you up""

So...18 now? If so, Godspeed; hope you learn something aside from bigotry.

The blatent stereotyping of Muslims and Islam is represensible. Are you also anti-semetic (you know "they" control banking and the entertainment industry), anti-Asian (you know "they" are out to steal our high-tech and manufacturing jobs), etc. etc.

This country was founded on the basis of pluralism (speech, religion, expression) and to just assume that the new mosque will be a haven for a fanatic Muslim cell is insane. Fanatacism exists everywhere, inside and outside of organized religion. Seems it exists on MyFolsom.com as well

Who would Islam need defending from? You? No need to come to the defense of a billion people.

So how about it? If you truly believe what you say, why haven't you signed up to go to Iraq and defend the nation from evil?

Here ya' go:

Just three easy steps and a 16-hour flight to Afghanistan or Iraq. We'll try to remember sending a care package; perhaps a pocket copy of the Qu'ran for your downtime.

OK folks, time for this flamewar to die. I think everyone's made their opinions known.
