Even though many of these people are honest and good citizens, do you find them as a threat?

Why, no.
Given that there are about a billion people from the Middle East in this world, and a couple of thousand of them are dangerous (.0001 percent), it would be silly to assume each Middle Easterner is a threat.
Those who blew up the Oklahoma City offices were Americans; do all the Americans here make you question our safety?

No that would be generalizing and racist. I have nothing against these people. the sad and ugly truth is if most terrorists being shown were Caucasian and definitely if it was a Caucasian person who caused 9/11 no one would think that Caucasian people were threat or show the discrimination towards then as they have towards anyone Middle Eastern or middle eastern looking. Dede that is stupid, just because you are Middle Eastern doesn't mean you are a foreigner, some of these people were born and raised here. No one calls Caucasian or African-Americans foreigners.

Hmmm...solid question. i do no longer think of it particularly impacts it one way or the different. We have been hated long in the previous we've been given in contact in the middle east and we are able to be hated for an prolonged time to come again. If we get rid of the probability from one direction (as we are doing suited now) then a probability is purely going to come again from yet another direction. Oppressive governments and agencies (like terrorists) see a rustic with a solid economic equipment, freedom and an knowledgeable inhabitants as a probability. and that i do no longer think of the middle jap hatred of the U. S. could without notice quit could desire to we quit helping Israel.

No, I'm only concerned about the crazy ones. But there aren't nearly as many as the media and government brainwash us into believing there are. That's terrorism at home.

Yes. Good and decent people stay and work and raise families in their own countries. At least Al Qaeda has a certain amount of honor, willing to give their lives for what they believe. Not like these cowards in the quickie mart.
