"Nuclear Archaeology" Inspires Replica of Hiroshima's Little Boy
James Cho writes "Through a decade of painstaking reverse engineering, trucker John Coster-Mullen built the first accurate replica of the Hiroshima bomb. His work yielded a new history of the first nukes, 'Atom Bombs: The Top Secret Inside Story of Little Boy and Fat Man,' with historian Robert Norris saying, 'Nothing else in the Manhattan Project literature comes close.' Philip Morrison, one of the physicists who helped invent the bomb, deemed it 'a remarkable job.'"
"How soon until homeland security shows up accusing him of terrorism?"

And for good reason. Muslims cannot be trusted with power, as they are not a liberal and democratic civilization (not just a religion).
Giving a Muslim power, is effectively giving his spiritual leader the same power... Note, that as opposed to other religions, Muslim countries - have a majority of fundamentalist muslims and are ruled by sharia law (of women stoning fame) - they have a minority of secular (read: intelligent) people - so comparing them to fundamentalist Christians, is not fair - since most christian nations are not "ruled" by the pope or any equally significant spiritual leader.
Do you want nuclear weapons in the hands of people that want to kill all infidels?
Sigs are for the weak.
"But the vast legions of radicals that Bush and Cheney used to keep the populace in check..."
Hope you noticed that it didn't take "vast legions of radicals" to make a rather large hole in lower Manhatten...
"Despite this being true, and known to millions upon millions of people with no love for america, nothing has happened."
Well... nothing successful, at any rate.
It also helps--for the lack of a better word--that we tend to get kind of pissy when we find out who did something to us. Taking out a building or two in exchange for having your entire country bombed flat isn't exactly equitable.
Any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.
