Targeting Muslims for searches?

Question

Not every Muslim is a Terrorist.

But all the Terrorists have been Muslim

Should the UK search Muslims going on planes beacuse they are Muslim.

Answer 1

I think everyone should be searched when boarding a plane coz how do we know who is a terrorist, is it the Muslim man or the one who thinks hes Muslim and says that he acts for Allah its bollocksyou terrorists need to have some guts and tell the truth you just want to create chaos, that is no Muslim.

Answer 2

There is not a lot of point searching a 65 year grandmother when the profile of the terrorists is 20 something male. I think common sense must be used, after all terrorists kill at random, including Muslims.

Answer 3

Islam is a faith not a skin colour or race. But (we're told) all the terrorists have been Muslim and male. So the answer is for the airport security to look at everyone's penises, wave the women and uncircumcised men through; and thoroughly search all circumcised men. This would also affect Jews, but hey: thats the price to pay to let Mr and Mrs Johnson from Tunbridge Wells to get on the plane with a Thermos of PG Tips.

Answer 4

Since it is a religion it is not a visible feature.
So how would you go about determening if some one were a Muslim yes or no?
The answer is simple you can't. Most of these people do there utmost to look as inconspicuous as possible when they do their deeds. (remember some of these people are even common brittons not arab)
The only way you could determine it was to ask every passager to denounce Islam and Allah 3 times but that would be violating human rights!
The danger is out there and there is nothing you can do to stop it!!!

Answer 5

If you were sat on a plane going to the US and there was a Muslim sat either side of you would you feel comfortable.
But the answer to your question is YES, all Muslims should be searched, together with every one else. Anyone can become a suicide bomber, regardless of there colour of skin, they DON'T have to look like a Muslim, they just have to believe in the crap about vestal virgins waiting for them when they blow themselves and every one else up.

Answer 6

Good point.

Surely then most 'non terrorist' Muslims would not object.

It might speed things along a bit if all Muslims were searched more carefully and non Muslims not searched as rigorously.

I know a Muslim so am not prejudiced and I'm sure they would understand.

Answer 7

Yes they should be searched. If I was muslim (I'm not. I'm an atheist), then I would have no problem being searched at an airport if it helped weed out these b***rd terrorists. Any muslim who objects is only making the matter worse. It's not stereotyping - it's just a matter of putting the safety of the travellers first.

Answer 8

We should PULL OUT of all muslim countries and put them all back in to them. This is NOT a muslim country but as years go on it seems to be turning into one.
Muslims should be in muslim countries as they are totally different in every way from the Western people!

Answer 9

Not all Muslims look like the strereotypical Muslim though! Many can be white, many many are black and from African countries, many come from Albania, Kosovo and other white countries. How do you know if they are Muslim? If you ask a terrorist he/she's not going to tell you they are Muslim are they.

Bad idea.

Answer 10

No I do not think that Muslims should be targeted as not all Muslims are Terrorists I think that they should search a wide variety of people.
