Let me comment on NotABushSupporter's retort first:

-- Dec 7, 1941 The Japanese, in a sneak attack, bombed Pearl Harbor
Does the mean I should treat the Japanese with any less respect than I
do someone from Iran?


In 1941 that actually happened, the Japanese US citizens and non-
citizens were put into concentration camps. If there were a similar
action and declaration of war against any country, I would imagine
some kind of effect on any of that ethnic or religous affilitation to
take place. In fact, in a time of war, you could almost guarantee
racial/religous/ethnic profiling.


You left Timothy McVie out so you could add "treat all American
ex-military as possible terrorists.


No, he'd have called Timothy McVeigh a Christian extremist. And by your
logic the Japanese were Shinto extremists.


I didn't bring up the Japanese, but apparently the US government did
exactly that, although they probably could have cared less what the
believed in.

If he was going after the American military he'd have mentioned Iran Air 655

You seemed to be grasping here, the Iran Air tragedy was not a
premeditated attack, nor was it intentional.

It was wrong then and it would be wrong now.
The US government even admitted this later and paid for it. (Not enough,
but they paid)

No argument here, but the 1941 Japanese internment is a far cry from
inconveniencing the Muslim flying public.
