Jews, Muslims, Christians, Pagans, Buddhists, etc can all be summed up as people who worship false idols!

I think it is OK to acknowledge that profiling exists I think that if you think it is bad, then we should try not to profile at all...But, having said that I will try to answer the question...
I think we are only against the "bad" things associated with profiling. People only seem to focus on Middle Easterners as Muslim Terrorist. When in fact there are many Christians there and regardless of religion they do have very strong family units and even values - which is why they can be so radical because they feel other values breaking those down.
But profiling really can not be done by a broad category, but it should include more specifics because a Christian American is different than a Christion Asian, etc...
But I like to profile Christian Americans (and being born and raised one), from my observations, they are "profilers." :-)

The problem is when did a Christian last try and blow up Glasgow Airport or the London underground?? Let's leave the security service to profile the people THEY think are a threat.
Edited to say: Racial profiling is based on 'threat to the crown and Country' which was your question. However you should have asked about social profiling if you wanted to generalise into other areas of crime. Next time try and be more specific with your question!

Well...you think of something like racial profiling for muslims but you must understand the way some people feel and see things.
I felt like...discriminated when looking for a job because I am Romanian(Eastern European) and it was hard.
How ever way you see thing you will find ignorant people who will have racial or discriminatory thoughts.
We can't do anything about that..

Ron White: If you knew Morse code, you'd know that already. And one DWI, which was a bogus charge, cause it turns out they were stopping every driver, traveling down that particular sidewalk. And that's profiling. And profiling is wrong! The arresting officer, who I had literally known, all my life. You know what I mean? This guy lived 4 doors down the street from me, in a town of fewer than 400 people. *We've met.* Now, he takes me to jail, and he asks me if I have any aliases. [Confused, stupid look]
Ron White: And I was just being a smarta$$, and I said, "Yeah. They call me, "Tater Salad!" " Seventeen years later, I'm handcuffed on a bench in New York with blood coming out of my nose, and this cop goes, "Are you Ron 'Tater Salad' White?" Ya caught me! Ya caught the tater! You can take down those road blocks.

I just like to know how does it feel to be treated like a black man? It's not fun is it. I am looking to apply for a government job as either the person that rounds up Muslims and put them in detention centers, or a guard at Guantanamo Bay.

Just the other day my 2 yr old said something to my husband, he replied saying '' no because I'm the boss'', I corrected him by saying ''no one is the boss around here we are all equal'', i believe racism starts at an early age and where it comes from is the parents. I dont think i am any better than anyone else and I will make sure i will raise my children without ignorance.

I don't think that racial profiling is fair. I don't believe that we are safe from anyone who is an extremist. There are christian and jewish extremists too. Unfortunately, we can't tell who the enemy is. History tells us that there are people among us, who are from all religious walks of life who want to do harm to us. The freshest in the minds of the people, however; is Sept. 11 attacks and those 19 attackers who saw fit to take the lives of innocents in the name of jihad. Can you blame the U.S. for fearing so much?
What would you do to protect society?

That's stupid because they aren't terrorists! Terrorists are predominately Muslim males between the ages and 19 and 45. Just look at the history.
