I would narrow it down to once. I give it one good terror attack from a local mosque in middle America and then you can bet muslims will be forced back to the east and west cost.

and it would be quite justified.

Exactly. Just like the time they kicked out all the whackos after that abortion clinic attack. Well, after the second one, anyway. Err, third. What do you mean they didn't...dammit. Nevermind.

And that's exactly why Al Queda doesn't go around randomly shooting up soft targets like shopping malls and schools. If they actually inspired a xenophobic vigilante movement then their sympathetic Muslim supporters in America would lose the ability to operate freely on gathering intel for major attacks or raising jihad funds from the wealthy and generous American Muslim community.

So some guy in another country whose religion happens to have the same name as the one I follow wants me to blow myself up in the name of that religion. It would make him happy you see. And he says it'll get me laid.

So, just so we're clear, is it "quite justified" to force Christians to the deep south and heartland after one good terror attack on an abortion doctor from a local fundamentalist church in middle America?

This just in: religious people are more likely to be dangerous reactionaries.

Yes. If the culture someone celebrates is at odds with the good of the host culture they are in, they should not be welcome in said culture.

Meh (new window)

I Said: unlikely: Maybe.

Homegrown attacks will hit somewhere besides New York or LA though, so it seems possible that smaller attacks in Nebraska might not spark the intolerance in ... say ... New Hampshire.

Still, if one or two happened anywhere in the country, I am pretty sure I wouldn't want to be a muslim in a red state.

This is what I've never understood: if suicide attackers are such a huge threat here and we have SOOO much to fear: why aren't there guys on highway overpasses sniping random drivers for Allah? Why no IED's on random roads in the heartland?

Because the total population of muslims in the area has not exceeded 5% yet. around the time 5% of the population is muslim, that is when violence and attempts to take over the host nation begin.

Yay!

Religion!

well then we've already popped:

DC Sniper
Arkansas Recruiting Station
Salt Lake City mall attack
LAX new years eve attack (interdicted)
Buffalo cell
Portland cell
NYC tunnels attack (interdicted)
Fort Hood shootings

And that's just off the top of my head.

Depends on the target and where.

My guess is they will go for a secondary target on the East Coast, like Philly or Baltimore. One place that would be very unlikely would be Detroit (home of the largest Muslim population).

Since they like to blow things up, that will be the most likely method.

gilgigamesh: You'd think al Queda would just have their operative in the White House arrange that for them.

Why not have Glenn Beck just order you teabaggers (or in your case teabagee) to dummy up some sort of fake attack? The 'baggers will do whatever their little tin god tells them to and then Twitch Boy can aim all kinds of vitriolic comments at the administration.

So that's how it's going to be eh? Fine, I'm calling on gingers in other countries to start getting drunk and acting like jackasses for me while I can't because I'm at work!

Those silly Al Qaida folks. Don't they know that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism?

I Said: why aren't there guys on highway overpasses sniping random drivers for Allah?

Actually they have: Link (new window)

But the truth is the vast majority of American Muslims would never turn to terror attacks for a myriad of reasons; Western luxuries make modern life simply too comfortable and sheltered from the brutal, unforgiving wasteland's culture of death back home. Why throw it all away and risk imprisonment or even serious injury just because your parents' faith calls for unrelenting jihad?

Or they are not as pious as the external image they project suggests so they doubt the promised reward of an orgy in paradise in exchange for slaughtering infidels.

Like most people they are willing to hedge their bets, in this case throw a few bucks to 'the cause' and show some moral support for terrorism but never actually lift a finger to directly endanger themselves or others.

Now I understand that's just one study, however, there's lots and lots of articles on how Muslims typically assimilate better in America than in Europe which results in much less extremism here.

Not saying it won't/couldn't happen but if you've got a good life, a nice house, happy family, etc., you are much less apt to buy into the BS Al-qaeda is selling.

Does that mean we can drive all the fundamentalist Christians, and Catholics, into the ocean? Cool. They deserve it, after all: Christian terrorists have struck quite a few times.
