I'm all for sensitivity, but............?

Question

Why does airport security need to undergo special training to ensure they don't "offend" any Muslims?

According to the AP:

"Say you're a security screener at the airport. You notice a large group of people wearing white robes, speaking a strange language. The women have head scarves and the men long beards. They look nervous. One of them is holding a Koran. Another appears to be praying. What do you do?

Simply assume they're devout Muslims returning from the annual hajj in Mecca."




"Offending" people, the last time I checked, is not illegal. Drunken frat boys, dangerous as they may be, did not cause 9/11. It is bullshit that we have to lay off Muslims simply BECAUSE radical Muslims caused 9/11.

Political correctness is going to cause people to die.

Please try to make your argument without dropping the "race" card; sheesh.

If I don't give a **** about "politically correct", I sure as hell won't let you play your race card.

For the most recent two:

1) Who said anything about laid off?


2) If the consequence for the "hair-color" discrimination is an extra 30 seconds in airport security, are you ruining my life? Just curious.

Answer 1

I agree....we all need to quit being offended anyway!!! People get offended way too easy!!!

Answer 2

Being ignorant and stereotyping a group of people for the misdoings of one causes a huge problem in society. How would you feel if, because, God forbid, someone with your color hair bombed a building and every time you went anywhere with security, they profiled you based on your hair color. Hair color like ethnicity, is something you are born with. Just because some Muslims were involved with the September 11 attacks, does not mean that all Muslims have the capacity to do that. If we continue to judge all Muslims by the choices of a few, then we are on the way to our own Holocaust.

I appreciate how you feel because political correctness is getting out of control, but we cannot judge people based on their ethnicity, religious views or even physical appearance.

Answer 3

Why are so worried about people playing the "race card"?

It's because this is racism, if you want to be racist, you have to be willing to be called one.

It's like asking what's wrong with killing people? and then saying the we can't call you a murder

Just calling a spade a spade that's all

What are you gonna ask for next time? Segregation in schools between whites and blacks?

America is beyond that!

Answer 4

They need to be careful, becuase there is a thing called racism and since 9/11 people are more likely to claim racism and call problems if say a muslim gets treated poorly becuase they think they are a terrorist.

Answer 5

You're asking the muslims not be laid off but for America to be sacrificed instead. See the movie below. Try the second link if you don't have time.
