Anyone FOR Terrorist Profiling????

I just recieved this in an e-mail from Editor Mark Alexander. It's worth the read....

To ensure we Americans never offend anyone -- particularly fanatics intent on killing us -- law enforcement and security screeners are not allowed to "profile" people in public places or security checkpoints.

However, they will continue to perform random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year-old congressmen with metal hips and even Medal of Honor recipients.

But targeting Middle Eastern male Islamists between the ages 17 and 40 constitutes "ethnic profiling." Let's pause a moment and review....

President George Bush said this week, "America is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation."

The Council on American-Islamic Relations issued an immediate objection to the President's reference to "Islamic fascists".

Nihad Awad,executive director of CAIR protested, "We have to isolate these individuals because there is nothing in the Koran or the Islamic faith that encourages people to be cruel or to be vicious or tobe criminal. Muslims world wide know that for sure."

In light of this objection, we are left to ponder why every Islamic leader in the U.S., and the world, does not publicly condemn every terror action being undertaken in the name of the god of Islam.

Their silence is deafening... Between 1970 and present, there were more than 60 other notable examples of terrorism perpetrated by Middle Eastern male Islamists between the ages 17 and 40, but we think you get the point.

Singling out "Middle Eastern male Islamists between the ages 17 and 40" is not "ethnic profiling," it's "terroristprofiling" -- acting on prolific evidence.

The only problem I see is that opens a hole in your defense. The terrorists they arrested in Miami were all native born American males who converted to Islam. Don't think they might whine and dine some demented Cindy Bansheehan types to be their stoodges? Or how about some simple comsetics? Dye the hair and and wear colored contacts and use an alis?

The up side to "everyone is a perp" paranoia is it tends to elminate assumptions and blind spots.

No 'profiling' needed, if ISLAM WERE TO BE BANISHED FROM USA.

BUT! There is NO WILL TO WIN in Washington by doing this because, THEY SAY, "it wouldn't be fair", and on, and on, and on. Rationalization, after excuse, after objection, after exception. Blah, blah, blah.

It doesn't matter to the Govt in D.C. if, to be Islamic, even if peaceful, means that you reject secular government and yearn for Sharia Law. They reject banishment. Demographics being what they are though, eventually, the Muslims will subdue America by sheer numbers if left in place to procreate and accummulate.

Even though ALL Muslims believe that Sharia Law is best and Infidels must be shunned, or worse, is it inhuman or unAmerican to be against Islam?

In other words: Is it illegal to banish Islam from America even though the presence and demographic expansion of Islam WILL, eventually, mean the DESTRUCTION of the Judeo-Christian system of government of the USA via the ballot box?

What would be so wrong about non-Muslim America seeking to preserve its' traditional cultural heritage by banning belief systems which only offer the demise of America as a future feature of membership?

IS the Constitution a SUICIDE PACT, or not?

Even NOW, in Great Britain, there are 1.6 million Muslims, the majority of whom are perfectly nice. However, they believe what they belive and that doesn't include the current system of Britsh Law or Justice. However, a recent survey disclosed that, of all the Muslims in Britain, 250,000 believe it is 'OK' to join AlQaeda. This is an even more impressive figure given that the total of British armed forces in uniform IS ALSO 250,000!

Do any 'what if' scenarios come to mind?

You're right, there are 7 million Muslims in the USA.
However, seen in the context of our simultaneous illegal immigrant 'problem' of 20 to 35 million of THEM, it seems less daunding and, indeed, MORE doable.
Deporting practicalities would trump ideology. For example, involuntary deportations could be focused on the young males only, considerably cutting the cohort of forced emmigrants. Further, these people could be given the opportunity to either convert to another religion or none or they can be 'encouraged' to make a choice. More specificly, they can be offered the opportunity to declare that their Sharia Law applies to their intranecin issues only and that they agree to honor and respect the primacy of U.S. Federal, State, and Local Law over their secular lives permanently just like all other U.S. Citizens do, or should. Recognized exceptions related to morality such as Conscientious Objection would be honored.

This would effectively be a 'schism' within Islam, a significant departure from a formerly accepted doctrine. Specificly, their Koran would be purged of all the controversial content and all other Korans declared defunct.
Doubtless there would be screaming, whining, and moaning. That's OK. THOSE people can just leave.

WOULD this be done? Not with the current political 'leadership' we 'enjoy' in Washington today.

COULD this be done? Of course! I lived in Saudi Arabia for years. In that sad country, as you may know, no other belief systems are allowed, period. The entire native population is Muslim, period. You accept Islam - or you DIE, period. No opportunity to emmigrate is offered. Yet, these people are honored, favored, and even have their hands held by our own 'leaders' such as Pres. Bush.

One thing for sure. The Brits are in deeper poop right now and need to make a serious decision soon.

I think the first thing any red blooded American should do is discriminate against islam all they can. For instance all American owned businesses should have the old standard sign “WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE” then goods, products and services could be refused to all that appear to be muslim or islamic. I think this would be a start in the right direction at least. In a perfect if EVERYONE did this they would not be able to function in our country.

Just my views.
