Almost half of Americans are for limiting Muslims' rights

no real shocker there, but the Detroit Free Press reveals how absolutely disgusting and ignorant the fear mongers have made 'merica...revealing quotes:

"The survey conducted by Cornell University also found that Republicans and people who described themselves as highly religious were more apt to support curtailing Muslims' civil liberties than Democrats or people who are less religious."

"Researchers also found that respondents who paid more attention to television news were more likely to fear terrorist attacks and support limiting the rights of Muslim-Americans."

(read: watch the nightly news that's wrought with stories of "how can we scare the shit out of you", "how you're going to die today", "deadly insects are going to infilitrate your body and kill you", and "new research suggests that if you eat or drink this, you're 50% more likely to die")

"The survey showed that 27 percent of respondents supported requiring all Muslim-Americans to register where they lived with the federal government. Twenty-two percent favored racial profiling to identify potential terrorist threats. And 29 percent thought undercover agents should infiltrate Muslim civic and volunteer organizations to keep tabs on their activities and fund-raising. "

My thoughts on the whole racial profiling thing is just use some common sense please...most likely the 90-year old lady who's flying from New York City to Miami is probably not a terrorist and doesn't have to be searched...however we do live in America where you're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty...if there's some shifty eyed dude you might want to concentrate your efforts on him first...but let's not forget that the Oklahoma City bombing was done by a WASPy conservative too...most serial killers are white men...etc...turn off the TV people...and read some better news...
