How many Muslims are on the no fly list

concentrate on Investigating muslims on planes. We simply lack the resources & time to investigate all the people that pose no threat

Theres over a million people on these no fly lists. Yet they knew about the 19 islamic "terrorist" and did nothing, so there going to monitor a million fucking people? Right, and when we illegally invade Iran and get our ass kicked we will be sitting here watching our constitution being burned at a bonfire while they laugh and run off with our freedom and sovereignty. Apathy is the enemy, not terrorist, 400 US people died last from terrorism, over 400,000 from heart disease, the moneys in oil!!

@76special - you got it. Anyone paying attention can see the pattern in the last 8 years: 1) some sort of crises, 2) evidence that the government knew the crises was about to happen but did nothing, 3) over-reaction by media and politicians, 4) several fundamental rights of Americans taken away to "protect" us.

@anthony6661 - exactly! This guy wasn't on the "terror list", because that's not what the list is for. There are babies named on this "terror list" but not guys like Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who very openly supported and cheered terrorist groups long before he launched his attack on Fort Hood. Homeland Security is nothing but a veiled attempt to take away the rights of Americans and get them accustomed to living in a martial law state.

It's rather ironic that Rep. King is talking about defending a country from terrorism. He's spent years and years working to support a terrorist organization (the IRA), but as soon as it's Muslims carrying out terrorism or terrorism against the US not the UK, *then* it's bad terrorism. No, Rep. King, all acts of violence against innocent people in an attempt to effect change are terrorism and they're all wrong. (By the way, I'm neither British nor Irish.)

If the homeland security put ordinary men and women on the no-fly-list, no big deal, the worst list-ons can do is to write a complain letters that obviously won't do them any good. If a rich person, or someone born from a powerful clan of Nigeria, got on the no-fly list, he will hire lawyers, pertitionists, and political lobbyists to get himself through.

And seriously, who could have thought someone, with so much to live for, wants to die with hundreds of innocent lives?
