Racial Profiling for Terror Suspects

[Fighting American]

I found this on a blog..... What are your thoughts??


To ensure we Americans never offend anyone -- particularly
fanatics intent on killing us -- law enforcement and security
screeners are not allowed to "profile" people in public places or
security checkpoints. However, they will continue to perform
random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots
with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members
of the President's security detail, 85-year-old congressmen with
metal hips and even Medal of Honor recipients. But targeting
Middle Eastern male Islamists between the ages 17 and 40
constitutes "ethnic profiling."


Let's pause a moment and review....

uncovered and cell members arrested. In every case, the
terrorists cell members were: (a) Southern Baptists
Conventioneers (b) Lutheran Youth Groups (c) Presbyterian Elders
(d) Middle Eastern Islamist males between the ages of 17 and 40.

President George Bush said this week, "America is at war with
Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us
who love freedom, to hurt our nation." The Council on
American-Islamic Relations issued an immediate objection to the
President's reference to "Islamic fascists". Nihad Awad,
executive director of CAIR protested, "We have to isolate these
individuals because there is nothing in the Koran or the Islamic
faith that encourages people to be cruel or to be vicious or to
be criminal. Muslims world wide know that for sure." In light of
this objection, we are left to ponder why every Islamic leader in
the U.S., and the world, does not publicly condemn every terror
action being undertaken in the name of the god of Islam. Their
silence is deafening...

Between 1970 and present, there were more than 60 other notable
examples of terrorism perpetrated by Middle Eastern male
Islamists between the ages 17 and 40, but we think you get the
point. Singling out "Middle Eastern male Islamists between the
ages 17 and 40" is not "ethnic profiling," it's "terrorist
profiling" -- acting on prolific evidence.

Anyone for Terrorist Profiling?

[SuperRyan]

After skimming through it, I have this to say.

Most terrorists that wish harm to the USA, the UK, Canada, etc. are Middle Eastern Muslims.

Anyone can be a terroist, yes. But odds are they are a Middle Eastern Muslim.

[Corporal Punishment]

Well, if we want to take that tactic:

Who shot Kennedy?
A) Uncle Sam on a bender
B) A white ex-Marine Corps crazy
C) The Queen
D) Middle Eastern Islamist males between the ages of 17 and 40.

Who was the Unabomber?
A) Your mother
B) An American mathmetician and academic
C) Robert Mitchum
D) Middle Eastern Islamist males between the ages of 17 and 40.

Who blew up a building in Oklahoma City?
A) My cousin Frank
B) A white Catholic
C) Tom Cruise's new baby
D) Middle Eastern Islamist males between the ages of 17 and 40.

Who bombed Brighton in an attempt to kill Margaret Thatcher?
A) My sister
B) Irish extremists
C) Jack Bauer
D) Middle Eastern Islamist males between the ages of 17 and 40.

Who bombed Olympic park?

A) My grandma
B) A white, conservative radical
C) Humphrey Bogart
D) Middle Eastern Islamist males between the ages of 17 and 40.

Who fired missiles at the nuclear center Superphenix?

A) My second cousin
B) Eco-terrorists
C) Nowhere Man
D) Middle Eastern Islamist males between the ages of 17 and 40.

Who shot Ronald Reagan?

A) You. You did!
B) A crazy man who grew up in Texas, belonged to an oil family and watched Taxi Driver too many times
C) Elves. Magical, magical elves.
D) Middle Eastern Islamist males between the ages of 17 and 40.


I don't know, it just seems to me that only including incidents where it actually was commited by Islamic males is incredibly biased and unscientific.

[The Question]

The sad thing is, while many terrorist organizations operate out of the middle east, not all terrorist organizations do. By concentraiting on middle easterns only causes us to ignore the non middle eastern threats.

You should probably know that CS! doesn't seem to take as kindly to these kind of posts as SHH! does.

And also, we all know that the Reptilian/Anunnaki power structure was responsible for that bombing, in order to justify the neverending, 300 BILLION dollar war on SumofGod's HETEROSEXUALITY, and supply money to the Homo/Industrial shebang for years to come.

Ahhhh, I love the smell of moral equivalency in the morning.

[Killgore]

What you call racial profiling I call "good police work".

[Ewok Droppings]

I've read both of those lists through pass-a-long emails. Personally I am not against profiling in airports, but I do agree that sometimes the terrorists are idiot copycats or wannabes so we should continue to screen all people as well. After all, since I get profiled AGAINST for all kinds of government grants and affirmative action programs by being a white male, why not at least use a little profiling to keep our world safer?

[Sock-Man]

I agree that there IS a type of person more likely to be a terrorist. And you'd be stupid to disagree.

The problem is that while stereotyping and picking out a specific race/culture your isolating and angering a whole community of the kind of people you want on your side to help deal with the problem.

And ofcourse there's no way you can rule out ANYONE for being a terrorist.

I can see both sides really.

[squeekness]

The problem with profiling is that sooner or later there will be a enw group to profile. While everyone is checking out teh Muslims, some scrawny white guy group will do something. Then while your looking for them, some big fat girl group will do something. You just never know what's going to happen.

And if you think that's going to be bad, just wait until the 87 year-old granny group comes to power.

There actually IS a political group called "The Raging Grannies".

It will be funny in 30 years, we will be fighting against Jewish terrorists.......
just like now, Islamic Terrorists are our fault, we trained these guys, we gave them weapons.... once we called them freedom fighters, now they are terrorists...........


I honestly think that everyone should be searched, regardless of age and ethnicity...... 1 year olds too 101 year olds....... no carry on luggage....

as they said in Aliens, it's the only way to be sure...

[squeekness]

How can you profile for all Islamaists anyhow? The ones who just got caught in England were British citizens. A large number of Muslims in the US are African American. Islam is not restricted to race.
