Let me go a bit beyond merely "Standing for the pledge of allegiance or national anthem." Although, yes, that would be a good start

Where are the Arab American volunteers for our military? Doesn't America have over 2 million Arab Americans? And, aren't most of them 1st or 2nd generation Americans? My Irish American son is currently at Fort Bragg studying Arabic - which is fine. But, why should Uncle Sam pay tens of thousands of $$$ to teach this Kansas kid Arabic when we have hundreds of thousands of Arabic speaking young men and women?

Question: Even with large $$$ bonuses why aren't we getting the young Arabic volunteers? Perhaps, one of the steps or "tests" of loyalty is that military service become quasi-compulsory for the Arab community.

Well, my sense is that they are on the sidelines for a reason. The Arab mind is a survivor mind - Islam has contributed to this psychological orientation. They are prone to backing the winner and what they do when parties are "going at it" in a struggle is to keep their head down...As a people, Arabs have an uncommonly strong attraction to naked power and strength. In the end, the biggest thug will be their their thug, or "LEADER." As I've indicated Islam is uniquely equipped to impose a frame-of-mind that is both cowardly and submissive. In fact, the word Islam itself means submission. Islam is a political system at its heart; yet, it uses religious threats (torture in the next life) and corporal threats (pain in this life) to cower its adherents.

As a political system Islam is viciously effective and quintessentially primal since it skips all the value esoterics of - rights, liberties, patriotism, freedoms, et. al. - and places itself squarely over the most efficient driver for human compliance and/or submission - Fear.

What am suggesting? Well, I am suggesting that simply "keeping their heads down" is not tolerable; not for the brave new world in which we find ourselves. We're done - Homey don't play that, anymore.

Yep, I'm for making folks take sides.

If they won't, okay, I get it...Yeah, I get it, I really do. Fear is real...The fear is pallatable, I can appreciate that. But, life is a bitch. No-ticky-no-washy...

If they are not with us other Americans, they need a one way ticket somewhere else.
