racial profiling -on airlines -a positive way to fight terrorism or injustice?

Question

for the muslin's

Answer 1

report suspicious activity and you get sued by CAIR. Why is the counsel on American Islamic Relation involved? To cover for the fact that this is a muslim problem.The muslims are the only ones who can stop it. If they don't, it means they support it and we've seen all kinds of evidence that they do, whether they admit it openly or not. They glorify suicide murders! They have parades and memorials in honor of teens who blew themselves up to kill Israelis or Maronites or Americans or whoever the infidel do jour is. We know that imams encourage Islamist parents to say prayers that their children will martyr themselves rather than to grow up and lead productive, peaceful, long lives with children of their own. We know that much of this propaganda looks quite similar to the propaganda used by the Nazis during World War II. We know that Islamo Fascist propaganda refers to all non-Muslims, not just Jews, as apes, pigs, and slaves.

After 9/11 an extensive poll was taken throughout the muslim world (where allowed.) 15% openly supported OBL and said the US had it coming and they hope there's more. 69% said that, while regrettable, it's the US's own fault for supporting Israel, EVEN THOUGH at the time, Israel wasn't even mentioned by OBL, and most of these people have never met an Israeli in their lives. So 74% of the muslim world wants Israel gone and wouldn't be too sad if we were gone too. If the poll is representative, then out of 1.3 Billion muslims in the world, there are over 700 Million who want Israel gone and who wish us ill. Furthermore, A 2004 estimate by the intelligence unit of French police found that about 150 of the country's indexed 1,600 mosques and prayer halls were under the control of extremist elements.

A study of 1,160 recent French converts to Islam found that 23% identified themselves as Salafists — a sect sometimes associated with violent extremism.

In the Netherlands, the Dutch intelligence service says it believes as many as 20 different hard-line Islamic groups may be operating in the country.
In London, authorities say that as many as 3,000 veterans of al-Qaeda training camps over the years were born or based in Britain. Not all muslims are bad, but as far as I'm concerned, enough of them are, therefore I don't feel bad about generalizing or profiling in this case.

Subjugation may be working in Eurabia, but have a care here in America where the art of critical thinking, the study of history and conquest, and fearlessness in opposing those who would abridge our freedom and liberty is stronger than ever in spite of what you may think you witnessed in this last election. Democrats may appear "liberal" ideologically, but history tells us that their war leadership is as formidable as any Republican when they are fully motivated. We know who you are, but you have no idea who we really are, and that is why I know that we will ultimately prevail against you.

While I concede there are Muslims who are people of goodwill as well as good sense, they, too, are on the hit list of predominant Islamic leaders and their followers. Unlike we good-hearted and often pudding-headed Americans, these peaceful Muslims know this. Do you really think if push comes to shove, they will sacrifice their lives for Christians or even Americans who claim to have no faith at all? Get real! They know all too well what happens to those who oppose jihad. One has to look no further than the headless widows and butchered children in Afghanistan for proof.

Americans in general are always ready to admit new immigrants to our shores as the inscription on the Statue of Liberty proclaims. To our sorrow, the rules have been changed. We must become aware we are not loved, in fact we are hated, by the envious and evil. In time of war our government has interred and/or deported people on far less evidence of intented harm than exists now. We are in a war. It is not a war about geographical territory alone. It is a war for the very soul of the world.

Answer 2

I think listenupmoron has given an excellent and intelligent response.

I agree with those who accept that racial profiling, while not perfect, is a logical response to the terrorism threat.

If the Muslim community don't like this, then they should start being more vigilant in their own social groups and mosques so as to be aware of who may pose a threat.

A crucial point: it isn't us who are reducing Muslims' freedom to travel without being searched and questioned. It's the Islamic terrorists who are doing this.

Answer 3

They should racially profile. It is not perfect, but a more focused search. There are possibilities that someone not profiled could get by, but if they were to profile, it would discourage the obvious from action and require a terrorist jump through more hoops to get into a position of power.

Answer 4

If the war is on terrorism then it has no race but if the war is on Muslims then it does. If you want to use racial profiling then call it a war on Arabs, Persians and Muslims and not on terrorism. Then again you never know when Timothy McVeigh accomplice is going to strike back.

You just have to wonder how in the hell they do it in Japan, China or Korea. They all look the same. How police is actually able to prevent crime without racial profiling?

Answer 5

At this element anybody is protecting onto their "ideals" that racial profiling isn't an decision, yet... My wager is that the closer to living house all this "terror" gets, the lots greater probably human beings will start to settle for the theory that "muslims could be accountable till shown harmless." although, Islam ought to help their plight by using having a number of its leaders upward push up and BOLDLY denounce this meant misrepresentation of its faith.

Answer 6

I am against racial profiling.. however, and I never thought I would ever condone this... but with the way things are happening in the world right now.. we have no choice but to try to be as fair as we can to all races.. BUT we do have to do whatever it takes to prevent another 9/11.

People of all races just have to understand this...and be patient and realize that if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear.

I wish this was not the way things are.. but whomever those terrorist were on 9/11.. they changed our world forever. We will never be so naive ever again.

Answer 7

Immediately after 9/11 it would have made sense. Any potential terrorists would have already been in place with their plans complete and so would most likely have been Arabs. Now however the terrorist cells that existed six years ago have been eliminated. While accurate numbers are hard to get, publicly available data shows hundreds of individual cells eliminated in the US and Europe.
With this in mind any terrorist group that hopes to succeed must adopt a low profile approach. This will most likely mean using individuals who don't fit an easily recognizable racial or religious profile. Many Arabs could easily pass for southern Europeans, given large Muslim minorities in many of those countries they could pass as non-Muslims with no more than a fake passport with an appropriate Christian name.
Under these conditions racial profiling is probably counter-productive since the individuals profiled are going to be too visible to be used in a terrorist attack.

Answer 8

The security folks should focus their efforts on whatever individuals or groups their current intelligence and research tells them need to be focused on. Duh!

The rest is all pimping the public with nonsense. Every time I see an old lady getting the 20-minute going over by a TSA employee I ask myself "Gee, dude, what does that TSA emp think when they go home at night - 'I've made the country safer by working over a few more little old ladies?'" I think not!

Answer 9

It is unconstitutional and profiling does not ensure competency. In fact with Muslims having shades of different skin tones and eye colors now days, it would make it virtually useless. You need to know how to hone in on a Muslim extremist, not just all Muslims, that would be stupid and disgraceful. I like to think that we are not going to treat anyone differently because of a few punks of that particular ethnicity. I love my Muslim friends here in the US. I wouldn't want to see what we did to our Japanese citizen of the US during Pearl Harbor, done simiarly the same way because of fear. Now that is still a shame that haunts us still.

Answer 10

I was boarding a flight to Denver at the security check point there was a 65 yr old lady, a man in his 30's of mid-east descent, and me 40 yrs. old long hair goatee leather jacket steel toe boots wallet on a chain etc. the security guys sent me through with no hassle, the other man as well, but they detained that poor ol' lady and gave her the full search bit even pull her girdle out to have a look!!! I watched what plane the other went to so I would not be on it!!
RACIAL PROFILING WORKS, POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GETS OLD LADIES STRIP SEARCHED, WITCH WOULD YOU RATHER SEE???!!!?!?!
