You see nothing scary in the position you're advocating?

Hey, like everybody else, I don't wish to die or see my family or members of anybody else's family die as a result of any religious-based terrorism.

But there's a potential slippery slope in what's being advocated in the passage you quoted. One day it's Islam being targeted. The next day maybe it's Agnosticism.

I don't discount that what you say may ultimately be a correct path to take in terms of safety(and the Liberal in me finds it nearly disgusting that I'm saying that, for while I practice no formal, organized religion, the thought of viewing someone else's status in this country based solely on their religious beliefs really, really scares me), I just worry about the precedents it sets.
