Just to clear something up about my opinion, I am not pointing fingers at any particular group of people, but I do believe those that were directly responsible deserve to be brought to justice. Nuking a whole country isn't a very realistic or effective way of resolving this. It could only make things get even worse. I said "NUKE THEM" because it was the first angry thought that came to my head...

I don't think Americans should be targeting Arab-Americans or any specific religious groups just because the hijackers happened to be of the same people. Just because their Arab doesn't mean they feel the same way as any other Arab. Let's say that for some odd reason, Germans were the ones who committed these terrorist acts... would all of us Americans start hunting down all the German businesses and people and harass them, too? Are we going to see people writing posts called "DEPORT ALL GERMANS"? For some reason, I don't think we would. Why? Because we've got a double standard. Arabs are a minority in this country, so it's a lot easier to pick on them. On the other hand, Germans and other Europeans are still a majority, therefore you will not likely see a similar reaction. It's always easier to pick on the little guys.

Those people that are all about threatening Arabs that are living in America should grow the fuck up. Don't let your anger become so irrational that you take justice into your own hands. Let the government figure that all out. As Americans we have to be extremely wary of our actions and reactions. We don't need to make ourselves look worse. So what if we haven't already retaliated... wouldn't you rather the US talk it out with the UN to find out what the rest of the world feels is reasonable action?
