Nope, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? Yeah, right!
So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screener will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former South Dakota Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim males between the ages 17 and 40 alone because of profiling.
Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves - if they have any such sense.
As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupid is as stupid does."
I wonder why?
America had better wake up and get their head out of the sand especially the Democrats.It could very well be to late to holler now?
In Christ,

Just like anything - people will take ideas and concepts to the extreme. Plus you got this from Aljazeera which anyone who has a brain knows is not a reputable and unbiased source.
Also innocent Jews have been targeted by Hitler, Russians targeted by Stalin, Japanese targeted by Americans in the WW 2 camps in the US and countless others, like the Spanish inquisition.
Not all muslims feel this way - the Koran does not advocate war. Idon't mean to be harsh but you are painting the Islam nation with a broad brush of hatred - not good. Obivously you are intelligent enough to put facts against propaganda. Read and challenge yourself about what the real base philosophy about this is -please do not paint a whole culture with such a broad and unflattering brush.

People constantly misunderstand the meaning of "peace" in Islam. Sayyid Qutb explained that "peace" is the absence of war. When all the nations submit to Islam, there will no longer be war. Peace is only possible if every nation submits to Islam.
Beheading people for the sake of Allah, is a way of hastening the advent of peace on earth. Muslims do not behead "innocent" people. The Qur'an allows Muslims to kill but killing in Islam is done for "just cause" for a "righteous reason".
The sooner everyone submits to Islam, the sooner there will be peace. What are we all waiting for?
Of course, there is the option to fight back and resist submission to Islam. But this would mean that we are against peace.
In the article you quoted, the Christians in Iraq leave their homes to go to Syria or elsewhere. I live in SE Michigan and there are probably over 100,000 Chaldean Christian Iraqis who have come to live here. They know what the peace of Islam means.

Sura.5:51 disdains the Jews. Mohammed said, “The last hour will not come before the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims kill them.” (Mishkat Al Masabih Sh.M. Ashraf pp.147, 721, 810-11, 1130).
Islam divides the world into dar al-Islam (the house of peace) and dar al-Harb (the house of war). To bring "peace," Allah commands, "I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads! (8:13); Slay the idolaters wherever you find them...(9:5); O Prophet, struggle with the unbelievers and hypocrites and be thou harsh with them...(9:73); Believers, make war on the infidels that dwell around you..." (9:123). Perpetual jihad is commanded until all the world is under sharia. Nor would that bring peace, because Muslims fight among themselves, as history testifies.
Looks Peaceful too me. But then I have sunglasses on in a dark room with a sheet over my head and eyes taped shut.

i do no longer rather do learn on Muslim charities, because of the fact i do no longer might desire to work out issues to have self belief that somebody from a faith might properly be sturdy. apart from, different than the midsection East, maximum muslim international locations are those in want of help, they have not got the money to do charity on a worldwide point. you are able to watch Al-Jazeera, you will get truthfully techniques on the Islamic worldwide there. They suggested on a Muslim help company as quickly as, which BBC and CNN all refused to broadcast. i'm going to provide you an occasion of a muslim state even with the incontrovertible fact that. I stay in one, the place there's a pair of two% minority of Christians, Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, and different religions. each and every thing from Eid to Buddha Purnima gets a nationwide trip here, and the form, aids, healthcare, taxes, is all equivalent for everybody. easily no bias. of direction, fundies emerge now and then, yet its no longer purely from the Muslim edge, and the government.constantly manages to preserve it. Edit: in the adventure that your going to forget approximately posiitive comments purely because of the fact there are no longer any sources or hyperlinks offered, possibly you're able to do your very own learn, rather of asking human beings on an solutions communicate board.

~~~~~~~~
Fight and slay the pagans (infidels) wherever ye find them, and seize them,
beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war." - Sura 9:5
"Prophet, make war on unbelievers and hypocrites, and deal rigorously
with them." - Sura 9:73
"Let not the unbelievers think they will ever get away. They have not
the power to do so. Muster against them all the men and cavalry at
your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of Allah
and your enemy... Prophet, (Muhammed) rouse the faithful to arms!
If they (the non-Muslims) incline to peace (accept Islam) make
peace with them." - Sura 8:59
"If they reject your judgement, know that it is Allah's wish to scourge
them for their sins." - Sura 5:49
"Believers (Muslims), take neither Jews nor Christians to be your
friends: they are friends with one another.
Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number,
and God does not guide (those Jewish and Christian) wrong-doers." - Sura 5:51

To me the muslim faith teaches peace through terrorism. Plain and simple. And it's not right. Because as a Christian, I don't kill someone because they refuse to accept Jesus Christ.

The word islām is the noun form of aslama, a verb derived from that root, which means to surrender or submit; thus, ISLAM EFFECTIVELY MEANS SUBMISSION TO GOD (Arabic: Allah). The legislative meaning is to submit to God by singling him out in all acts of worship, to yield obediently to him and to disassociate oneself from polytheism and its adherents.
