How do you decide who is a muslim btw?

Do you assume based on their birthplace?
Take my case. I am an atheist born in Istanbul. My turkish identity card has "muslim" written on it. I work as a researcher in a prestigious french university, and I contribute rather positively to the french society (I had many students, postdocs etc.). So you want france to kick me out, or not let me and my family into france based on what is written on my identity card? Very smart. I hate islam more than you do, believe me........

Interesting view.


But I would simply note that war is full of purposefully devised double bind situations.

For example note the case of Coventry in WWII.  If the British vacated the city, the enemy would then know that the British had broken their encryption. 

An enemy seeks refuge within a greater population, where he cannot be thrown out without impacting that greater population.  This is why the USA put Japanese citizens in internment camps during WWII.  The threat of a small fraction of that population.

Since then this has been often cited as a racial abuse, but at the time it was done for the greater safety of the US population. 

Summary?  Political correctness has just died.  It's over, folks.
