Neocons Push Internment for American Muslims
Neoconservatives Push Internment for American Muslims
http://news.pacificnews.org/news/view_article.html?article_id=57ec646298b5e8b751df455c3e3a651e

Mr. Campos writes on Jan. 4, in the Rocky Mountain News, that Mr. Pipes implied in the Dec. 28 column that the wholesale relocation of American Muslims to internment camps might be a “good” idea.

Mr. Pipes used his column to review “In Defense of Internment: Case for Racial Profiling in World War II and the War on Terror,” a book by West Coast neoconservative author Michelle Malkin, which she says is a “challenge” to the revisionist view of the ethnic Japanese internment in 1942. Ms. Malkin claimed that the “civilian liberties Chicken Littles” were using the issue of racism to prevent the discussion of curtailing the movements of American Muslims during the Bush administration “war on terror.”

-snip-

Nevertheless, Mr. Campos suggests that Mr. Pipes has put forth a dangerous argument. “Mr. Pipes has claimed that American Muslims are uniquely dangerous and have a potential for disloyalty, because the Muslim population in this country includes within it a substantial body of people who share a hatred for the United States.”

He further contended that Mr. Pipes was using this climate to suggest that offensive measures, such as internment camps, may be the price “we” have to pay.

After them, who will be next? Liberals?

1. Conservative white men are far more dangerous
and have killed far more Americans than Muslims ever had. Maybe it's time for internment camps for white conservatives? Hmm?

2. Why not just open Auschwitz style camps?
You know that's what they really want to do.

9. Scarier yet, are some of the
responses to the article. What the h377 are some people becoming in this country? They should all be sat down and made to read accounts written about the camps in Germany and Poland in WWII.

6. This is beyond foul!
The fact that this was written by an American that is not supposed to be a Nazi, this is just...arggggh...there isn't a word!!! How many Muslims bombed the Murrah building in OKC? Or abortion clinics? gay bars? This is just unbelievable that this would even be a thought entertained in this country!

7. Well...it didn't take too long after Herr Busch's Second Selection....
...Inauguration to make this little tidbit public did it?

Let's see, if the camps open fairly soon, that will put them on a pace almost two years ahead of the eight years it took Hitler to formalize the Final Solution.

I don't see a smiley face anywhere so I must not be joking about this.

8. And after Auschwitz for Americans who happen to be Muslims, how about
Auschwitz for all gays? And then all dissenters. And all liberals. And all republicans who dissent. And then anyone that anyone else points a finger at for personal grudges or greed.

The only difference between the Nazi Hatred and the NeoCon Hatred; substitute "Jew" for "Muslim". All else is identical between the two.

10. It's no secret.
The right wing nutjobs really would like to put all of the muslims and all of the liberals in camps. There are days I actually wonder if bush and his buds ares secretly setting up camps for us.

11. What an idiot
Doesn't he realize that we live in a republic where minority rights are protected, or doesn't he like that? He can go live elsewhere if he wants.

Pipes's Middle East Forum is funded by the Bradley Foundation, which is linked to the arms industry:

If Muslims were interned ten years ago 168 people in Oklahoma City would be...
