"It would be pretty easy to make an argument against many sects of Christianity on the same grounds (yes, really: http://www.alternet.org/module/printversion/146438 http://www.alternet.org/module/printversion/146438); literally thousands of people have been incited to violence by radical right-wing preachers over the decades. Does that mean that Christians are dangerous to the United States and should be stopped at the border?"
Are they acting on it?
Do you have suicide bombers killing people in other countries in the name of Christianity? You pointed to one, single, crazy group that may or may not even be affiliated with religion.
It's funny how all the intelligent people here seem to play dumb when it comes to understanding why US customs agents may want question someone that could be a potential threat to the US.
If it were middle-age white guys that were killing people, I would hope custom agents would profile them as well. It's the intelligent thing to do.
"Freedom of religion is at the heart of the founding principles of the United States of America "
I find it hilarious that the lefties in the US are so against religion..unless it's Islam. I think it's probably because they are both on the side against the Unites States.

Would you like some more? http://www.skeptictank.org/hs/hate.htm http://www.skeptictank.org/hs/hate.htm http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/hate-map http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/hate-map (Click on any state) Look at any of these groups and you'd be very, very hard-pressed to find one without an ideological claim to a Christian identity. These groups pose a very real threat, which is why the FBI tracks and monitors them. However, the existence of right-wing Christian hate groups does not indict all practitioners of Christianity world-wide. As for the rest of your post, you've simply attempted to rebut a series of arguments that nobody actually made — I believe they call these "straw man" fallacies. E.g.: I never mentioned "profiling" — the issues are religious persecution and outright harassment by government officials, in a blatantly unconstitutional fashion. >"Lefties are against religion." "Lefties are against the United States." Really? Seriously? Why don't you read my posts again — this time carefully, and try once more.
