Hint: it's not that they're all named Bob.

    They are predominately Muslim.
    Do not believe anything a Muslim says without concrete proof. Do not believe anything that is said about a Muslim without concrete proof. Muslims are told in the Quo'ran to lie to infidels.

    What is "them" in this case?

    My comment meant that many people who say they're for "law and order" are actually just for "order" and not the "rule of law". The canonical extreme example is Mussolini, who according to myth, made the "trains run on time."

    Christianity and Islam share the same disdain for man's life on earth. They both preach rules to be followed to gain access to an afterlife in heaven, wherever the hell that is. Objectivism is life affirming; that is, life on earth. Christianity and Islam are both anti-life, only one of them is , currently, more explicitly so.

    A true fundamental Christian cannot, doctrinally, espouse hatred. Hence, your examples are oxymorons. (Much like saying Naval Intelligence...it might exist, but I never saw any.)

    KKK, skinheads, neo-nazis, sovereign citizens, Branch Davidians, etc. These groups are riddled with self described Christians who espouse race hatred and/or violence. I think it's fair to say they pose a threat. That being said, I agree that the most immediate threat is posed by "inspired" devout muslims. Aside from collectivism and religious belief these groups have little in common.

    Not all Muslims are terrorists but most terrorists are Muslim. I cannot say all because of fanatics like Roof and McVeigh who try to initiate race wars or rail against the government. Granted, the government is out of control but you have to admit that they have bigger, better and more guns than we have. They have also proven to do do stupid things, like Waco and Ruby Ridge along with other things in our history. This administration is bending over backwards, trying to do the limbo under the pole of political correctness. In their minds, they cannot be doing wrong so therefore the standard US Citizen is wrong. We are in the right and it pains them to think that they are not really smarter than we are and we try to stymie them in their new world order. I am not a conspiracy theorist but sometimes the government does something so stupid it is painful for me to watch. For those that don't know, I served in the US Navy for 21 years from 1980 to 2001 and I took seriously the oath of enlistment to preserve and defend the US Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Most veterans do the same and have called out this and former administrations for their unjust laws and regulations. I tend to favor the Israeli method of spotting potential terrorists and they have a good record of doing it. Of course, in our system, it would be a cause to sue someone for something.

    This is asking what defines terrorism. It's about as clear as what defines hate crime. In theory, it means violence intending to intimidate an entire group. That definition would include many state military actions.

    So the words end up meaning any violence worthy of dividing people into groups, ignoring our laws, and increasing gov't power.

    One thing we have to do is to understand Islam and the goals of it. Here is a great spot to start and is from a man that has studied this very subject and I feel has the handle on the subject, Please view this site and watch the video. You don't have to pay anything but a bit of time. You can fast forward through the advertisements by clicking a bit forward on the track line.

    Our government has used phantom crisis to erode our liberty and rights.

    That said, you indicated that right wing and Christian terrorists also pose a threat. Can you provide examples of these groups threatening America?

    What do they have in common? But for few instances, they're Muslims and pick defenseless targets.

    If you've had a bad experience with police, it's by far the exception rather than the rule. Try talking to law-abiding, productive residents of NYC, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, and ask them if police are necessary for safety and the ability to actually safely engage in commerce.

    Property rights are mission critical (couldn't agree more), but your property will be gone, along with your life without law enforcement.
