Isn't this a bit of a knee jerk reaction when only a very small percentage of Muslims are jihadists? Are we really ready to use religious preference as a hiring criterion for government positions? Should we just go ahead and put all American Muslims in internment camps? Just playing devil's advocate for a little bit, here. What does everyone else think? Should we deny employment in government positions, even very low level ones, because someone is a Muslim?

Man, how I hate to find myself agreeing with Vance about almost anything but there are murdering aholes in almost every religious group just as there are good folks in every religion. No reason for discrimination in employment because of religious beliefs but now days there's good reason to carefully vet everyone hired to a security position. This checkup should include psychological background checks and and careful study of friends and associates to look for red flag issues. Right to privacy is a big deal but IMHO, not when it comes to national security issues. We do have a lot of enemies in the world so it's just stupid to be too complacent....Mel
PS: Don't get all cocky now Vance. I think if the Pres had been properly vetted, he wouldn't be the pres *L*

Got to agree with you Rich, The government does seem to be run more by the corporations and big unions more than by anybody else. It sure isn't run by the voters that put the politicians in office....Mel
