Muslim extremist groups have been trying to carry out terrorist attacks against out country for over a decade now and people are understandably on edge. The agent should have kept his personal opinions out of official business, but that does not mean that there cannot be some sort of focus on possible islamic threats. There has to be a distinction between radical muslims and the islamic community at large; if no such distinction exists, then it becomes discrimination.Christopher J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04936751773005561475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606201113344523885.post-6144348674628915922011-09-20T19:24:38.555-04:002011-09-20T19:24:38.555-04:00Everyone is entitled to free speech.

Everyone should be allowed to make their own interpretations. I feel as though the FBI agent may have been forcing his beliefs onto others after reading the article which would be a violation of the separation of church and state.Justin Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331477213444620432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606201113344523885.post-555264799579987812011-09-20T01:13:39.824-04:002011-09-20T01:13:39.824-04:00I agree with Zermeno that generalizations made wit...I agree with Zermeno that generalizations made within the FBI about Muslims may be inappropriate. Such blanket statements do not consider specific circumstances or other factors which can be important. Even so, I understand the need for the FBI to focus on terrorist threats, some of which may be perpetrated by Muslims. While Muslims should not be focused on exclusively, it is important that the FBI consider all the different possible threats to our national security.Harry R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14904234636407712910noreply@blogger.com
