Why you knuckleheads getting so hot under the collar because the son of a famous boxer is being questioned?
It shows that the officials are doing their job.
It also shows that no one is above the law and anyone can be a suspect. There is a price to keep us safe and to keep this nation safe. Customs and law enforcement officers cannot be complacent and be selective, especially at a time when terrorism is on the rise.
Now, I dont want to sound like the racist invoking the stereotypes about Muslims...but they are a logical target as long as Muslims (and yes, its a tiny fraction) continue to engage in terrorism around the world.
And when people feel their rights are being violated...they have a recourse in the courts...we dont have kangaroo courts here like in Guyana
This is a different word in which we live.
So DG, you and Kazma need to buckle up and stop getting giddy with excitement anytime you think Muslims are being unfairly targeted.
Vish, I think that you need to reconsider your position.
First, trump had argued that his immigration action, the ban was not a religious discrimination. Now, we hear of American Muslim being specifically being questioned about his religion. I thought that there was something in the constitution that guaranteed certain individual rights.
Secondly, you might want to give up some of your individual rights to satisfy Trump's agenda, but you cannot just assume that it will be ok for others who value their rights more than you.
third, you do sound like a racist and stereotyping, in spite of your wish not to do so.
Fourth, the courts are not as impartial as you seem to indicate. Why do you think that the Republicans blocked Obama's nomination for the Supreme Court?
