Let me summarize how we've done that exact thing to the Muslims of the world; FIRST and foremost, we support their tyrannical kings and presidents, we invade Muslim country's that DIDN'T attack us, we kill 100's of thousands of them, and call it collateral damage, we render them away from where we caught them to other country's just so they can be tortured, we imprison them forever, we give them no rights, we tell them they can't open a mosque in their own country, and we're contemplating the burning of Korans...
I guess you missed all that.
