Political Correctness: It's To Die For

In my column on the foiled UK terror plot, I ended by asking whether political correctness is really worth dying for?

Indeed, the entire discussion of profiling Muslim airline passengers in an age of Islamic terrorism rests on this question. And if the reaction of mostly British passengers aboard a recent flight from Malaga, Spain to Manchester, England is any indication, the answer would be “no.”

In what’s been dubbed a case of “mutiny” by the British media, fearful passengers demanded that two young Muslim men they felt were acting suspiciously be taken off the flight.

The country doesn't want to own what happened to the Japanese? Where have you been? There are books, documentaries, plaques, ad nauseum.

The article doesn't suggest racial or gender profiling, but religious profiling. And it's not just because we're "scared" of them or "don't trust them." Take a look at the world around you.

Plenty of American (Muslim) citizens have been involved in terrorist attacks---that is working alone and going on killing rampages of "infidels." (Seattle shootings, hit and run killings today in San Francisco, Chapel Hill killings, the Oklahoma U botched suicide bombing, the list goes on and on and on...).

I'm not sure which Koran you read, but the dictate to kill "unbelievers" is in practically every other sentence.

Political correctness (a term Stalin came up with to silence criticism of the Party) isn't helping Muslims achieve their "reformation" (if it's even possible) and it's not helping us survive in the meantime.

Oh and by the way, we're not all "upper middle-class WASPS." But most libs are...
