Gracie,
Of course this is a valid conversation (actually I dislike how that word is now being used politically-wise...) topic.

1. I'm afraid some on the forum will hijack and deep-end it.
2. Speaking of deep-end...Trump statement. OMG, has a bit of validity as far as concerns regarding this group, but.
3. Religious conflicts have gone on for centuries - including Muslim vs XXXXreligions.
4. Current tools in use are not totally effective to ID some (esp Homegrown) radical Muslims - they are using encrypting comms that we cannot overcome yet. scary.
5. In my opinion a % are living amongst us - case in point SB. How many & where - even the FBI can't tell and they are overwhelmed following the Known ones on shore.
6. I'm not a gun-toter but if I lived in a mixed community outside the bubble - sure would.
7. I do have concern for public gatherings such as Squares/theatres etc - even here.
8. Am very concerned that some U.S. mosques are learning grounds for potential extremists - WHY DON"T THE MODERATE MUSLIMS SPEAK OUT???? And now we are finding out that Farook's father (and possibly entire family) are jew-haters.
9. I strongly dislike that so much of the Pres' speech time and the Att General's recent speech focused on violence towards Muslims etc - studies show that hate/violence against jews in the US is 60% of all, Muslims 15% - silence by Washington.
10. Of course we all don't want what happened to Japanese citizens in the US during WWII, but we absolutely cannot discount that ALL Muslim citizens are 100% patriotic - to OUR country. How large is the supposed Trojan Horse here - now and future?

I could go on, but pause for now.
