How to dismantle the constitution in 10 easy steps

Step 1: Start spying on every American, and say it's legal.
NSA Killed system that sifted phone data legally

Conveniently kills Amendment IV of the constitution...

Amendment IV


The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

RE: Five questions non-Muslims would like answered - Los Angeles Times

I have been wondering about many of these same questions for a while now ....
Five questions non-Muslims would like answered - Los Angeles Times

I would add.

How can killing neighbors and families - children no less - go without such an outcry by the victims families - muslims themselves? I'm not referring to Jordan, I'm referring to the murders (aka suicide bombings) in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Palestine.

If it is commonly known by muslims that there are bad hadiths in the koran, then why not rewrite it like the christians have done more or less regularly with the bible (translations they call them).

Why don't muslims take back their faith from those who seek to corrupt it? I'm not talking about the infidels - the non believers, I am referring to those who call themselves muslim leaders and incite violence and murder. Aren't there warnings in the koran about false prophets?

That's all I could come up with for now.

Another suicide bomber

Here's an idea. Instead of publishing the name of a suicide bomber why not omit that information from all news reports? Why is every suicide bomber 'honored' with macabre fame? Every suicide bomber has their name, age and nationality published, yet the victims are usually listed in a group - a number. If you celebrate life, then why do you accept the dead victims being lumped together as a number? Why do you accept mass murderer's becoming 'celebrities' amongst their own with their names annotated in history?

If you get into the psyche of these beings, it's obvious that part of their motivation has to do with 'going down in history'. Would there be as many suicide bombers if their names were never known? Some die hards would still perform this heinous crime, but I suspect many more would not since their deeds could never be authenticated in published reports. Without this authentication, who would believe these grotesque memorializations? Without believers, who would follow?

Let's reserve the publishing of names to the victims, not the evildoers. Let's stop glorifying these abominations and let them die anonymously and alone.
