Muslims deserve as much respect and dignity as provided to any other religious group. It would be unjust to treat a group differently because there are extremists in those groups as they are still American citizens no matter what.
@9GCYKJB2yrs2Y
Muslims are responsible for most, if not all, terrorist attacks across the world. We cannot simply trust that they won’t commit acts of terror because they live in America.
@9GCMBQ9 2yrs2Y
That is not what I was implying. Any American is capable of committing heinous crimes but the fact is, is that a Muslim citizen in America deserves the same rights and dignity that any other citizen should.

Take for example, the Boston Marathon bombing. The perpetrators were Muslim brothers who grew up in the United States. The tragedy led to increased scrutiny of Muslim communities, even though most Muslims are peaceful and law-abiding citizens.
@9GDH68H2yrs2Y
Any type of group in society can have a negative trait associated with them, so why should Muslims be unique in terms of policy?
@9FTQ4J82yrs2Y
Terrorists actions can destabilize the government and harm people, but not all Muslims are terrorists and we should monitor Muslims neighborhoods because of it.
@9FRMKM22yrs2Y
It just isn't right to spy and infringe on privacy of everyone because of a few suspects of terrorism.
@9FPD98Z2yrs2Y
I still find this an ignorant argument. I understand where the person can be coming from, but at the same time Muslims are just people. Just because of something that has happened does not mean that every person is going to be that way and it's honestly extremely unlikely for the person to be exactly like the last. At the end of the day, we are all just people, we shouldnt be treated differently for that.
@9FWPW6P2yrs2Y
Spying on Muslims is against the constitution and is discriminating on religious grounds. Many of the terrorists are extremists who have became extreme and don't follow the majority sect of the religion. The government should consider this from a criminal or political perspective instead of focusing on religion.
@9FY47NJ2yrs2Y
Muslims are not the primary group in terms of terrorists, at least in the United States. This is instead right-wing extremists who commit terrorism on a far more massive scale.
