"They found that 48 percent of respondents agreed the government should have the freedom to monitor religious groups in the interest of national security — even if that means infringing upon the religious freedom of the group's members. Forty-two percent said the government should have more authority to monitor Muslims."

Until they start monitoring you.

By the way, why hide behind a false SI name? Are you paranoid?

If....>>>

Is not going to do.
They would have to "cease all military activities." or face war, way before any meaningful dialogue would have a chance to take place...That much we know (you may like it or not)
No Democratically elected Western Gvn would negotiate under the gun, Faulklands or West Bank

PS I think if religious parties in Israel (limited support from largely Secular Population) would engage in Terrorism to achieve their goal (Get rid of Arabs in holy places)
They would have to face War just as well

"The transfer of communities to foreign rule in Eretz Yisrael stands contrary to the Torah commandment of settling the Land, even if the foreign rule is just and fair," Shilo wrote.>>>

Right. So if Palestinian State would face a monumental decision to create Very Hostile State they would want assurances....What credible assurances PA is ready to provide?-None, just a rhetoric

If anyone has a grudge to hold it would be the Iranians for what the American government has done to them over the years.

The way our President here is proceeding, he is going to force the Iranians and Iraqis into each other's camp.

With the American government's track record, who would want to be our ally?

Panama
Afghanistan
Iraq
Costa Rica
Cuba

All two-timed by vested American interests.

Exactly.

religious parties in Israel (limited support from largely Secular Population)

Limited support being roughly one third of the Knesset. And the threat of assassination if you dare give away a piece of Eretz Israel..

Actually the Egyptian limo driver was a terrorist. The JDL guy and that other Jewish guy in Florida are fortunately terrorist wannabes. Which is a bad thing.

len. In an article I posted was this statement...." "They found that 48 percent of respondents agreed the government should have the freedom to monitor religious groups in the interest of national security — even if that means infringing upon the religious freedom of the group's members. Forty-two percent said the government should have more authority to monitor Muslims.".....

I did not write this article why don't you question the motives of whom ever wrote this article instead of getting all pi**ed of and asking stupid questions like this one......" By the way, why hide behind a false SI name? Are you paranoid?".....

First of all it is not a false name it is my real name.

Am I paranoid. No I am not and what do these stupid question have to do with the article I posted.

The point I was making is that if censorship of free speech should ever happen then it could affect what you and people like you who appear to be supporters of our enemies can say on a public forum.

What I and others like me who do not show favor for or appear to support the enemy are not the cause of any restriction that may happen in the future to free speech.

If you feel that the article I posted is directed at you then I can see why you are so upset.

You said...." And there was never an Israeli state."....

Sure there was. Don't you remember when I proved this to you a few months back?

i see you listed me as supporting an enemy... is that really what you think i've been doing?

if so, would that be foreign or domestic enemies?

it is simply to me that so much of what is going on seems so strange... like the official story really doesn't wash any more... so is my questioning any of that... does that make me an enemy of the united states? if that is the case then perhaps the 'terrorists' have won already...

again, if you take away freedom of speech, the terrorists have already won... for then what is it that we are protecting?

if you want to nuke or gas or steamroll somebody... go for it! i for one am getting sick of all of the posturing... you want to steamroll iraq and saudi arabia... let's go then!

if we win easily, then perhaps the economy surges with the advent of cheap oil... perhaps on the other hand it is world war iii... either one is fine with me.... i know it's not 'all good' but i know it's 'all god...'

and in any event the white house - and all other positions of high office within any of the myriad 'priesthoods'... they're all charades... and if that makes me un-american then i'll live and die with that.....
