You seem to think that the red alert on flying, imposed by our government, shouldn't apply to a group of Muslims ready to get on a plane. Yes, I do mean writings about muslims getting on airplanes with no baggage and one-way tickets and saying "allah, allah, allah" like the hijackers did on 9/11! These people have the same right as a Christian. You like to try and make it seem like there are no peaceful muslims anywhere. We haven't been attack by the American population of Muslims. Heres the facts, with no 'common sense' applied:

-- A U.S. Muslim population of 1.1 million adults, with a possible maximum range of 2.2 million adults. This suggests a national total population, including children, of up to 2.8 million in America.

Now these people are obviously peaceful. There have been no attacks from any of them. They have a right to pray just like you. Guess what, this is still America!
I personally think your values of what being American is about are being distored by your fear.
Anyone that writes that any Muslim should be viewed as a threat is helping to cause the hysteria that occured at the Minneapolis Airport, and further screwing up the chances for peace in this world.
