I see that what I said was misconstrued. I didn't say put any and all Arab AMERICANS in anybody's concentration camp. Maybe some people need to re-read my post. I said that it WOULD NOT APPLY TO ARAB AMERICAN BORN CITIZENS. In other words, Arab IMMIGRANTS and Arab NATURALIZED citizens (b/c we could have made a mistake in granting them citizenship). I never said anything about putting ALL Arabs into concentration camps. Please re-read my statement.
I don't have to ask the Japanese Americans anything about their experiences in the camps, because in my post, I ALSO said that the camps didn't have to be like they were in WW2 or in Nazi Germany. I SAID that they people didn't have to be harmed. If that is not possible, then so be it, it's not possible, don't do it. But please, don't quote me and then twist my words.
Lastly, please try and not make this personal. Meaning, we can voice our opinions, and agree to disagree, seeing as how none of us in this democracy have any say in how we retaliate. Saying that I am not thinking things through clearly is rude and uncalled for, in my opinion. Just because I disagree with you does NOT mean I'm not thinking clearly.

I think in the case of using concentrations will be in disagreement. I believe that your intention maybe one thing people who have different intentions may misconstrue and take the idea of detaining to a whole new level. There are some sick people in this world as we saw last week. I say that this is a religious war because from what I understand and what my husband has shares with me, bin laden and his supporters believe that America is essentially a modern day Sodom and Gamorrah(sp?). We are a country that tries to impose our beliefs on them. We are like a Babylon. (If I am incorrect, someone please correct me). So on some level we have to approach bin Laden and his followers on the same level. Finally, I reread my post and I think I may have gave you the assumption that you weren't thinking clearly and for that I apologize. My INTENTION was not to do that. Your comments just sounded so similar to how a part of me feels. I was speaking from my heart sisterfriend. This is such a horrible situation and I hope that we both can come to a point where we can see some resolution to a devestating event. Much love.
