Reader comment on item: Two German Interior Ministers vs. Islamism
Submitted by nora (United States), Jan 3, 2006 at 13:20
I am a staunch despiser of the Islamist cancer, but NO! We can't go around tagging people! It's un-American! And this has to be what distinguishes us from the skin-deep "enlightenment" mentality of Europe, producer of the Crusades, the Inquisition, pogroms, the Holocaust, inter alia.A radically more effective and civilized response to unequivocally inimical behavior/ preaching of violence from foreign residents: expulsion! Get them and their hatred out of our lovely country. Permanently!
