“How is it logical or fact-based, when New York’s attempt to do that was an utter failure?”

“Ireland, like not that long ago.”

“But don’t go around implying that Islam has some specific relation to, or monopoly over, terror.”

“Okay, show me Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, etc. body counts per capita?”

“the commenter claimed the residents of the area, “...had no idea who was living there.””

“Not really sure how you can definitively make that statement?”

Like I said. There are radicals in every religion. There just happens to be one in particular that has more radicals than all the rest combined, by an order of magnitude.

“You do know that there actually are radical Buddhists who practice terrorism against other religious groups, right?”

What? This article is completely backwards, unless you mixed it up at the beginning. If the ball is kicked all the way through the end zone, it only comes out to the 20.

“All the tech and funding in our intelligence communities around the world, and you’re advocating not using any of it, and go back to profiling 1.5 billion Muslims when they pass through your ports of entry?”

Yeah, because starting your investigation at the source of nearly every significant terrorist attack in the last few decades is “lazily profiling”.

“All three Abrahamic religions have people willing to die or kill others in the name of their shared Sky God.”

“Really? Which ones?

Not Christianity. Christianity has had plenty of atrocities committed in the name of God.”

“When I’m mowing down homeless people,”

“Oh, for the love of... here we go.”

Plenty of religions believe deeply in their sky fairies without blowing themselves up over it.

A measured, logical, humane, fact based response would be to properly profile and surveil people who are most likely to carry out such an attack.
