Difficult one to answer. Goes right in to "Racial Profiling". The current prejudice dirty words. In actual fact these groups constitute a minority of Muslim groups in the world. "BUT"(and a big but) These groups are the foundation of a lot of the violence in the world today either directly or indirectly. mostly this is just another excuse for sick minds to legitimize there need to harm others. I have known several Muslims in my lifetime. One was a former Boss in a paint factory. A pain in the rear to work for, BUT, basically a decent Man. This is the real key. Not Muslim or Pakistani, or Islamic. What kind of a Man or Woman? My Dads description of a Man: A man can say to another man" I disagree" or " I hate you, this, that, or the other thing...". At the end of the day the same "MAN" will buy you a beer(or soda...etc.) and sit down and find out how your kids are doing in little league.

The media and current Washington administration has done a WONDERUL job in getting us to hate Muslims. Don't buy it. Its tempting, but don't. You are giving then power that they NEVER should have had in the first place. You should be more afraid of white people. They've done more harm to the world than any terriost cell.

Do you look at snarling, foaming at the mouth dog differently then you look at a cute kitten? If it was up to me Id walk them all straight to hell. PS It rains on the plain you don't fly in one. Use your spell check.

I was living in NY,45 min. away from ground zero when it happend.
It is hard not to be a little anxious, but then we have had our own people commit acts of terror in the US as well.
I guess you just have to keep your guard up in general.

No, I do not. As an aside, terrorists are going to make every effort to blend in so that you would be showing bias against those who simply revere their faith.

I do not believe in profiling people, and I do not care what they look like.
