Do they currently track everyone who identifies as a Muslim? (Asking cuz I genuinely don't know... not trying to be smartass)
nobody really knows what goes into either list unless your very high up. the terrorist watch list is 1.8 million people. My point was that its the same thing. tracking citizens based on their totally legal actions.
