After the spate of doctor related terrorist involvement in the UK, they have revised their screening process to look into the backgrounds of foreign doctors seeking to practice in the UK. We have many doctors in this country who are from Arab and Muslim countries. Are we doing enough to make sure that we are safe from terrorists? This may be a sad part of the world in which we now live ie. we have to worry about our doctors being safe.

The US has a very haphazard way of admitting foreign doctors. The checks on their academic credentials is strict but there is virtually no check on their political affiliations; therefore, as in the UK, it is not possible to know if we are admitting terrorists into our midst in a very sensitive position in which they can do great harm. Both America and the UK fail to train sufficient natural born physicians and therefore resort to pulling in almost half of their workforce from foreign sources. The same applies to certain subspeciality areas of science and technology. To fail to question the political background of people being brought over at very high salaries with great responsibility and potential for danger will continue to do us great harm.

Do you know how many people die a day in gang related shootings? Should every African American or Latino doctor be screened to see if they are gang related? I would say it is prejudice to do this because not every Muslim is a terrorist. Does anyone even realize their are white Muslims in this country also? People that have converted. How about all pilots with a Muslim background? How about Obama? He is running for President and he is Muslim? Yet he is favored by so many Americans? How do we really know he is not part of Al Queda and this has been planned for years to get a terrorist in office? Nobody knows and all we an do is hope and pray that we are safe. I think in general our borders should be more secure and anyone coming into this country should be screened. I think in order for anyone to get a passport they should have a thorough background check.

Yes, then make sure they leave the country.
The Middle East will remain in a Dark Age until they set themselves free of a belief system that enslaves half their population and allows them to think that they can murder, annihilate, the rest of the world. What will set them back even further is the coming end of their oil reserves and or the development of alternative fuels in the West.
If Western civilization doesn't get tough on "Islamism" and either send them home or worse, all of us will suffer the consequences of what can only be called a racial and religious war against us that will drag us into the darkest of ages, blacker than the robes that they swaddle their women in. I ,for one, would rather die than be converted by a sword at my neck to any belief system. I will fight, my family will fight--join us now--call for the return of Muslims to their own countries. Withdraw their citizenship and send them, as well as those who have converted to their murderous system, back to their own lands.
Here is what they believe:
Political Correctness is the Incubator of Islamism
by Amil Imani
14 Feb, 2007
Time and again we are told by the politically correct “experts” not to worry about Islam posing a threat to our way of life. We are repeatedly lectured that only a very small minority of Muslims are troublemakers who are giving the peaceful masses of Muslims a bad name. We are also informed that the terrorists, who happened to be Muslims, are the disaffected and the young. And not to worry, since as the fire of youth turns to ashes of old age the rebellious will mellow, as they always have.
With heavy assurances like this, coming from so many know-it-all authoritative figures, we can sleep soundly without the aid of sleeping pills. After all, people reason that these pundits are “experts” whose job is to know and tell it like it is. Those who voice contrary views must be a bunch of racist, alarmist hate mongers. Who is right?
Wouldn’t be more prudent to let the facts settle the matter, rather than blindly accepting either position? Of course it would, except for one huge problem. In the face of threats, people tend to go to the mind’s medicine cabinet and take a few denial and rationalization pills, in the same way that it is the aspirin bottle they turn to when a headache strikes. Why not? We are the Easy Species. We love effortless, quick and simple solutions. And that’s not invariably bad. It has given us all kinds of labor and time saving devices.
Yet, the Islam problem is very real and deadly. Neither the pronouncements of the experts, nor the tranquilizing pills of the mind can make it go away. It is here and it shows every sign of imposing itself on us.
Europe is already badly infected with Islamism. It is the coal-miners’ canary. It is telling us that the next stop is America. We must act and act now. We must not sacrifice our cherished way of life and the lives of our children at the altar of political correctness: the incubator of Islamofascism

To Ladybugs - Obama is not a Muslim, he is a member of the United Church of Christ. His real father was Muslim but Obama is not, if I understand correctly
As for the original question, it would depend if the doctors were American citizens or not. There would need to be probable cause to screen them, otherwise it might be unconstitutional. You just can't target a group people because of their religion.

right here's a theory for the day.....primary Love all; believe some; and do incorrect to none! the priority those days is who's the secret enemy so we finally end up being very suspicious of in basic terms approximately anybody we don't comprehend in my opinion. For years i became continuously on at my husband for no longer trusting human beings (continuously the cynic) in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, i'm slowly coming around to his way of thinking. for sure the approaches utilized with the help of those terrorist have been the ploy utilized with the help of the IRA to befriend the enemy so they depended on them and then inflict poor deaths on them. no longer something adjustments ever!

Absolutely...... I have always felt there are already here teaching in our Universities and our doctors.....
I had an experience with a doctor (neuroligist) when I was in the hospital and you could feel the extreme disconcern. That was the first thing that entered my mind.
I do believe the terriosts are largely already here.....
I hope I am wrong..
I also hope major manpower is being spent on this search here in the US.

From what I read in the news they do already screen them, that's why it stated that when the doctors that were just caught in the UK had applied to the US and were turned down so they went to the UK who accepted them.
