If it really is that bad, it's probably the single most disgusting thing to arise out of 9/11 since the push to go to war with Iraq. Way to use a tragedy to push for more tragedy. The last thing the right should be doing right now is alienate, marginalize, and otherwise demonize Muslims at home and abroad. Way to go. But if you can prey on the fear of your voters in such a way that will put you in power, then, hey, why not? That's politics. Besides, it's all about looking ahead. Someone has to keep the military industrial complex chugging along. Someone has to be The Enemy.
