Those of us who grew up in the later sixties early seventies saw Muslim people. New Muslim kids would do their best to fit in. By wearing similar clothing to avoid any extra, unwanted attention.
We were invited once to go over to a kids house after school but his father refused us to enter his home. He said we were unclean. As kids we thought he was saying we needed to shower. We ignored them after that.
Mosques were constructed and the news flashed about the new neighbors moving in from all around the world. Building their places of worship. No one thought of them as evil, terrorist training recruitment centers.
The world has changed since those early days. But remember when no matter what color, religion or anything "if they weren't white they weren't right." An old expression perhaps to crude to keep around. It might cause a war, you never know.
To think one party is being treated as prisoner rather than friend in 2015. And no one is really protesting in mass? What if that were your family? Locked up in prison for trying to flea a war torn neighborhood or city?
Yea, you just can't tell who is who now a days. So we need to separate, interrogate, criminalize, demoralize. Then maybe consider giving them free refuge?
Some folks would say about homosexuals, He looks like one don't you think? Look at him the way he walks like a girl all soft toed and what not. There was a lot of race issues in the early seventies and beyond. Blacks wanted to have complete total freedom from oppression in this nation. Homosexuals wanted rights. Women wanted rights. Children wanted rights. Transsexuals wanted rights. Hispanics wanted rights. haven't heard much from the Irish, the Italians, the Greeks, the Chinese, the Vietnamese, the Indians continue to battle for rights.
If people from Syria are all terrorists sworn to loyalty to Islam. What makes anyone believe there aren't many more people here in America right now who want to blow themselves up in the name of Islam, while taking a few of us with them?
Christians, Catholics, Jews, Buddhists, haven't gathered up and trained their flock to go out and kill. At least not in our lifetime that we know of.
Muslims kept to themselves and everyone kept away unless invited in. A very secretive societal presentation they had created all those years ago. All though there were a few who thought how strange they were so secretive. Most never thought twice about it. Until now.
How sad the day is here we must look at our neighbors and know who they are and what their up too. We are all creating an uncomfortable world where no one feels safe any longer. We are snooping where we ought not go. This is a direct path way into our homes, into our very private lives for those who still live those.
Locking up the Muslims isn't going to find a terrorist. Separating their families and locking them up may very well create one.
