The surveillance and general crackdown on muslims during the GWOT was fucking crazy. Look at some of these FBI guidelines for profiling "extremists" and justifying repression:
>Spreading religious fanaticism through irregular beards or name selection
Can't grow a suspicious beard or name your kid mohamed
>Wearing (or compelling others to wear) burqas with face coverings
Can't wear religious clothing
>Interfering with cultural and recreational activities, rejecting or refusing public goods and services such as radio and television.
Gotta listen to NPR I guess
>Publishing, printing, distributing, selling, producing, downloading, storing, reproducing, accessing, copying, or possessing articles, publications, audio or video with extremist content
Ridiculously vague
>Other speech and acts of extremism
Basically a justification to spy and harass anyone for any reason
Honestly, those action seem rational given the circumstances
Meanwhile China took care of their extremist muslims by teaching them mandarin and sending them to trade school, kek
>>2539883Yea, their approach is better
>>2539873you are louse, a liberal, a snake
Bush is still worse than Trump with regard to internal repression and whatnot
This thread is a joke, this is how china identified more than a million "extremists" to send to "vocational schools", read mostly normie muslims to what are basically carceral schools. Very brutal and arbitrary crackdown, but because the "good guys" did it and the "bad guys" are calling that a genocide it means it was all good for the retarded vulgar anti imperialists who are not even aware of those laws that were copied word for word in that thread.
>>2540770>>2540773Also China has helped the crazy islamists in Afghanistan against the USSR which makes the bait in this thread work even better.
>>2540779>>2540752You caught me. These points are taken directly from China's
Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Regulation on De-extremification from 2017.

What they are doing is clearly working. We should be taking notes and considering how to apply it to future counterrevolutionaries.
>>2539869cope things are worse
>>2539987US with its high degree of individualism including religious freedom can't really solve the religious extremist problem. They're lucky not to have many muslims in their society or they would be a bigger pain than the Christian lunatics they currently have.

>they should be counting their lucky stars they didn’t all get deported en masse tbh
The US didn't need that back then. And it doesn't need it now either, the deportations , I mean. The cheeseburger gestapo is just using flashy deportations and random thuggery to establish the new standard.
Back in 2001 the USA was doing victory laps. Now? Now it's struggling to raise the profitability at home, lest the big money stop betting on team hegemony. Gotta scare the shit out of everybody and redbait before they get ideas.
George W Bush was one of the worst presidents of all time besides Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan
