So basically my friend grew up here. He is American as apple pie. One of the finest human beings I'e ever known.

Why should he singled out and treated like a second-class citizen while the white folk skirt the security line at the airport?

Is that difficult for you to understand?

Wait until there is a bombing in your city and several of the killers went to the same mosque that your friend went to, or possibly was even friends with your friend. Then ask him why he did not say anything to someone beforehand.

Never said that anyone should be treated as a second class citizen, but when 99.99999% of the terrorists are muslim males between 17 and 50, where would you suggest we start looking?

Is that so difficult for YOU to understand? This is a war going on and the sooner we realize it, the better.
