Mike Gallagher Calls for 'Muslim-Only' Line on Fox News »
Posted by: dirtyfratboy 2 years, 10 months ago"Most Americans want prejudice. Let’s be prejudiced against those who want to slaughter innocent American men, women and children. It’s time we start exercising some prejudice and stop these bloody terrorists," Gallagher said, this time drawing more robust applause.

Aug. 15, 2006, 11:16 p.m.Someone should give this "conservative talk show host Gallagher" a few history lessons. What he is proposing has happened--just ask older African Americans. It was called Jim Crow laws. Separate but equal? What an oxymoron. Jim Crow laws were morally & ehticallt wrong and inhumane. Gallagher's proposal falls into the same bigoted approach white America had...how sad people like Gallagher are so driven by hate and fear.

Aug. 15, 2006, 11:29 p.m.You have got to be kidding me!! What makes this country great - what most thinking people in the world admire and try to emulate - is the United States Constitution, including the Bill of Rights. This kind of jingoistic, hate-mongering garbage is exactly the kind of thing that wipes out that admiration and replaces it with disgust and loathing. ALL persons have the right (in this great country) to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, to due process of law and the presumption of innocence until proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt as decided by a jury.
If we as a nation start down the road of curtailing the rights of all members of groups perceived (by whom?) to be a threat, when does it stop? We did it to Japanese-Americans on the West Coast in WWII, and the Supreme Court determined it was a gross violation of the Constitution. We should not let the current wave of anti-foreigner hysteria push this country into another 'mistake' of perhaps even worse consequences.

Aug. 15, 2006, 11:32 p.m.In addition, Michael Gross got it right (as quoted in the article) when he asked the pointed and practical questions - how does security determine who is Muslim and/or Arab and therefore required to go through the so-called "Muslims-Only" line?

Aug. 15, 2006, 11:55 p.m.I think anyone who watches faux news, should get a large "L" tattooed on their forehead so we can readily identify their lowered position in our great society.
Furthermore, anyone who voted for bush should be given a black eye. It will heal, but provide them with several weeks of humiliation in our great society.
And lastly, anyone who continues to support bush, should have both their arms amputated - as a preemptive strike to stop them from hurting themselves or others.
And thus our great society will be safe.

Aug. 16, 2006, 12:10 a.m.I am a muslim and i respect Mr. Gallaghers views if he thinks that a "Muslim Solution" should be in effect he has every right to think so. It will never happen of course. I think Mr. Gallagher just is not informed about ISLAM like many other people are. I issued a CHALLENGE to anyone walking the planet after 9/11 to show me where in the Qur'an(muslim holy book or the FINAL TESTAMENT as some say) where it says to kill innocent women, children,JEWS, CHRISTIANS OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. An INFIDEL by definition in the QURAN does not mean JEW or Christian or anyone else. An INFIDEL can be ANYONE including a MUSLIM. For example if you blaspheme or treason against GOD then you are an INFIDEL. The word is directed to anyone who disrespects or kills GODS people or desicrates HOLY LAND. Anyway MR. Gallagher needs ratings he has to make a living. He will however NEVER BE ABLE to QUOTE from the QURAN where it says to blow up planes, or suicide bomb ext..he will have to go on.....

Aug. 16, 2006, 12:24 a.m.(Continued)what hes heard about ISLAM from bias. A MUSLIM only line will only get MUSLIMS on Board LAST if that makes MR. Gallagher safer then sleep well when it happens MR. Gallegher. If you want to make a claim against us as beings TERRORISTS thats fine. But bring forth proof. There are 1.5 billion MUSLIMS if even a 100,000 of us are bad apples doesnt mean we all are. or even a million. we have are bad seeds just like all religions do and even athiets have bad seeds and they dont believe in religion. I say if you want to bash us or start a anti muslim website do it but get the facts on us. Get a copy of the Quran and quote us and expose us so that all the speculation can be out to rest. You are doing an injustice to yourself if you dont get a copy of the QURAN, even if you just want to find fault with it do that but get a copy then make all the charges with your hearts desire. And as for my challenge i stated before email me the verse at aahmad3763@yahoo.com ..peace

Aug. 16, 2006, 2:24 a.m.I just want to know why such a wacko would be given airtime. This article is a "spin" on what happened just like all news is a spin on what happens. But, the fact is some nutcase radio host really thinks this is a good idea and Fox "News" thinks its a good idea to put him on the air... That seems a little weird to me...

Aug. 16, 2006, 4:40 a.m.Hey Folks! Speaking of terrorists who kill innocent American men, women and children...Wasn't the Unibomber Theodore Kaczynski a white, caucasian male? Maybe we should make a separate line for them too!

Aug. 16, 2006, 5:21 a.m.The promised one is right. Muslims can't just go around killing any one they want.
However as he points out infidels are freebies.
Nothing to worry about here folks. Islam is a religion of peace. Except for dar el Harb.
So what we need are an imam to separate the folks into two lines. Real muslims and infidels. If there are only muslims on a given flight there is no danger.
If there are only infidels on a flight no danger.
The solution is simple and obvious.

Aug. 16, 2006, 5:24 a.m.Hizbollah and Hamas have constructed core ideologies based upon this Islamic theology of Jew hatred, which one can glean readily from their foundational documents, and subsequent pronouncements, made ad nauseum. Hamas further demonstrates openly its adherence to a central motif of Jew-hatred in Muslim eschatology—Article 7 of the Hamas Charter concludes with a verbatim reiteration of the apocalyptic hadith alluded to earlier:
“The Last Hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: `Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him’; but the tree Gharkad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.†(Sahih Muslim, Book 40, Number 6985).

The Koran is not the problem. It is the Hadiths.

Aug. 16, 2006, 6:36 a.m.The problem is groups. So long as people think of themselves as a member of a group before a person, groups, not people will argue. I don't like that.

Aug. 16, 2006, 8:10 a.m.The idea of a Muslim only line is simply wrong and inneffective. This would only give people a false sense of safety and possibly lead to more Muslims turning to radical islam....oh ya one more thing:
MANY MUSLIMS ARE AFRICAN, INNDONISIAN, WHITE, ETC. ONE RECENTLY DETAINED MUSLIM TERRORIST WAS A JAMAICAN CONVERT!!!

Aug. 16, 2006, 8:21 a.m."Hey Folks! Speaking of terrorists who kill innocent American men, women and children...Wasn't the Unibomber Theodore Kaczynski a white, caucasian male? Maybe we should make a separate line for them too!"
And how could we forget Tim McVey?
I monitored Gallaghers show for a few months. He gets his knowledge of Islam from Craig Winn, a leading anti-Islamist who has written several books on Islam including "Prophet of Doom". Mr. Winn views Islam in the worst imaginable light and by osmosis has transferred this view to Mr. Gallagher. Gallagher would be thrilled to see this story get more play. He is a publicity hound. Just a Limbaugh wanna-be (what a pathetic thing to aspire to be) with a smaller audience.

Aug. 16, 2006, 9:36 a.m.Errr...constitutional rights aside..It is the very freedom that the constituion guarantees to all citizens that is under threat. Martial law sounds punitive, but what do liberal minded folk suggest is done about the problem? The only way to stop mass murder is to stop it! If terroristic plots committed today are commited by men under the guise of Islam (every single time)then regardless of how open minded you are, the first thing that most people on the recieving end of violence and hatred will do is 'classify' the threat. If the threat was from IRA terrorists (every single time) then our attention would be focussed on IRA members, possibly all Irish people. Because the threat posed comes from men under the blanket of Islam(every single time recently). Then our focuss is on Muslims. It is because we know nothing of this religion which is on a whole fundamentally different from anything we know, that we fear 'all muslims' and group them all as one threat.

Aug. 16, 2006, 9:40 a.m.First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

Aug. 16, 2006, 10:02 a.m.The people doing harm are of a certain group. You will have a few nuts acting alone or in smaller groups such as the Unibomber and Mcveigh. The group acting now is a rather large group that need to have their action stopped. Now, if I were having a problem with disease carrying roaches, would I get a spray to erradicate them, set it off and leave my plants, cats and dogs in the house while I deal with the problem? Hell no! I would seperate them from the roaches and then I wouldn't have to bury the innocent due to trying to be fair to all living creatures.
You people need to get real. Why do we tolerate these threats when something could be done about it. Surely even the good Muslims should see there needs to be a solution. This could possibly work. Maybe not 100% but oh my god I wouldn't want to offend anyone even if it saved someone's life. Pshw!

Aug. 16, 2006, 10:17 a.m.Until I see the Muslims protesting against terrorism in mass the same way they promote terrorism in mass, I'm open to just about anything. Personally I think we should put the liberals in a liberal line along with the Muslums and not bother to check their baggage as that would certainly satisfy their complaints about invasion of privacy. Just make sure they all get on the same plane meaning equal justice for all. Not all Muslims are terrorists but, with few exceptions, all terrorists are Muslims.

Aug. 16, 2006, 10:25 a.m.Any sensible person knows Gallagher's proposal would never work and has all the trappings of what our country is not (supposed to be) about.
Queen's Bishop - Great, thought provoking post!

godless-infidel
Aug. 16, 2006, 11:07 a.m.Of course this idea will never work, even if federal screeners had a crystal ball that can predict Muslims. The goal is to find faults in security; if there is a way to circumvent security, they will find it.
However, this shows that Fox welcomes all points of view in their commentaries no matter how ridiculous. No where else on 24 hour cable news will you find a liberal, a conservative, and a moderate discussing the same issue. As for this argument, you do get both sides of the coin.

Aug. 16, 2006, 11:12 a.m.Good idea WHampton! Where is the Muslim protest?
I agree with you on QueensBishop's comment FrankieT. And Gallagher's proposal is sensible as it puts the aggressors in a certain place and in a more visible and highlighted area. Certainly you can agree that if you were handed a written page with a small amount highlighted your eyes would go there immediately. Tell me I am wrong. I think not.
