wmw999 2,123 #78 January 11, 2019 Do you believe that "innocent until proven" guilty should be conditional as well? In other words, are your standards of evidence for (hypothetical) Muslims accused of crimes different from people like you?

In that case consider these: Urban II: Catholic Pope w/vision for his time Darwin Torres: [Illegal immigrant] build the wall Jeremy Christian: mentally ill Adam Puritan (Purinton): mentally ill Stanley Majors: mentally ill Oscar Morel: mentally ill Jeffrey Caylor: Dr in Foley AL ??? If the list of names confuse you, reflect on Matthew 5:38-40 and Matthew 22:39. I am not a Roman Catholic and do not know any of these individuals. Applicable scripture until hypothetical Muslim neighbor starts building an arsenal and giving glory to Allah (Satan). Then I notify law enforcement. I hate to be the one that tells you, Ron. But part of all religions is to give praise to their "god". So for Muslims giving Praise to Allah is part of daily life. Furthermore Americans love to "stockpile" guns. On any gun forum, ownership of 1-2 dozen guns is not unusual. So what is the tipping point for you when a neighbor becomes a security risk. Worthy of a report to LE? Non-Christian? What about a atheist that stockpiles guns? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A redneck meth head atheist might be a sworn enemy. A Jehovah's Witness is not a sworn enemy. Do you see the differences? How about if you see a threat to anyone, say something. Praising Allah and stockpiling guns do not make a "Radical Islamist". If they were making threats about the government or other groups, thats different. Including God praising(Christian) government hating nut-jobs from Idaho, etc. I may be a little more nuanced than you. I don't think I have any sworn enemies.

wmw999 2,123 #85 January 11, 2019 I think that Ron's basic assumption is that obvious Muslims are guilty until proven innocent, rather than the other way around. Not guilty enough to do anything himself, but definitely to report to LE. Of course, that someone caused vandalism by smearing pig blood on a mosque is funny... And in case you're wondering, Ron, I disagree. Rules and laws are only worth having if they're for everyone.

billvon 2,400 #86 January 11, 2019 >Applicable scripture until hypothetical Muslim neighbor starts building an arsenal >and giving glory to Allah. So applicable scripture until it affects you in the real world. Then you would accuse your neighbor of being a threat for doing what you want the freedom to do. It's easy to claim to follow Christ; wear a cross, go to church, say the words. A lot harder to actually do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,400 #89 January 11, 2019 And we see the first airport terminals in the US being closed early due to the shutdown. Travelers beware. =========================== Shutdown Forces Miami Airport Terminal to Close TSA agents are calling in sick instead of working without pay, prompting worries that the airport won’t have enough security personnel to staff checkpoints By Alexa Lardieri, Staff Writer US News and World Report Jan. 11, 2019, at 9:45 a.m. MIAMI INTERNATIONAL Airport is closing one of its terminals early for three days because of a shortage of Transportation Security Administration workers caused by the partial government shutdown. Terminal G, one of six in the Miami airport, will close after 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, CNN reported. "Due to an increased number of TSA screeners not reporting to work, we have decided to take this precautionary step and relocate about 12 flights to adjoining concourses in the afternoons," airport spokesman Greg Chin said. In response to the shutdown, which has stretched into its 21st day, federal workers are calling in sick at double the normal rate, Chin told CNN, leaving the agency doubtful that enough workers will report to work to operate the 11 security checkpoints throughout the airport. TSA agents in several airports have begun calling in sick instead of reporting to work and working without pay, and federal workers across the country will miss their first paycheck on Friday. . . Chin told the Miami Herald that officials "felt we had to make a decision before the weekend." Adding that they are "erring on the side of caution." Terminal G is used by United Airlines, Frontier Airlines and Aruba Airlines, among others. ================ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But don't worry; he'll get some mileage out of it yet with a little fearmongering. "I just got back and it is a far worse situation than almost anyone would understand, an invasion!"

You people need to learn to actually follow the subject. Billvon asked me if I would call the cops if my hypothetical Muslim neighbor began stockpiling an arsenal and praising Allah. My response adamantly yes. At that point, the situation is in the hands of the law.

Jim Acosta put his foot in his mouth by broadcasting from a fenced/barriered area and showing that there's no emergency.
