Argos(FGCU)U.S. Should Have Internment Camp for Muslims
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the president of the United States issued an executive order to relocate and intern Japanese-Americans. The Japanese government had established an underground espionage network within the United States. After 9/11, many Americans were angry and many violent acts were carried out against Muslim-Americans. Since the 9/11 attacks several conspiracies have been uncovered where extremist Muslim-Americans have been planning or supporting anti-American efforts. The recent Fort Hood attacks were extremely concerning to the American public, and the Taliban has threatened further similar attacks. The use of internment camps and deportation in our political climate could be of use. Internment camps could prevent anti-American plotting in our country, and also protect Muslim-Americans against attacks. Some may argue that this tactic is too aggressive as many innocent Muslim-Americans will be interned as well. However, the safety of many Americans is at stake. Isn’t this worth the sacrifice of the few? A Cornell University study showed that 44% of Americans polled believed that certain civil liberties should be curtailed for Muslim-Americans. If Muslim-Americans were in closely monitored internment camps, the government would have a higher chance of identifying extremist networks within the United States. http://www.news.cornell.edu/releases/Dec04/Muslim.Poll.bpf.html

White people such as Timothy McVeigh and Ted Kaczynski also committed terrorist acts in the United States. So should there be a similar internment camp for white people based on an equally valid fear? If not, why should Muslim’s be singled out for this atrocious treatment and not other groups, including the dominant? The Japanese internment camps were and are a source of shame and a taint on that otherwise brave generation. We cannot let our decisions about human rights be driven by fear and paranoia. The bottom line is that living in a democracy is not a safe prospect, but neither is living in tyranny. If you ask me, I’ll take my freedom, my human rights, and my character over safety; and I will defend the same for others.
