You are so right. Terrorists' acts are not a response to our actions in Iraq or about the conflict in the Middle East. This is about religious beliefs. We in the U.S. are allowing these extremists to preach their hatred and lies without consequence. We continue to allow them to enter this country as "students" and then we don't even bother to track their whereabouts. We continue to provide them with the cover of laws that do nothing to protect the public from their terrorist activities.

I speak as someone who came to this country and became more American than most Americans. Islamists come here to try to make us like them. In my opinion, they do not belong here. They should be rounded up and deported quickly before we regret ever letting them in. The clock is ticking and time is running out. We must wake up before it's too late.
