knuckleheads outside the Mayor's residence shouting Allahu Akbar and tossing a satchel charge at the front door have a somewhat Middle-Eastern appearance.And out of curiosity, any idea how many terrorist acts have been committed by anyone of non-Middle Eastern descent? I'll wager that it's close to zero.

You want to have the police to have the burden of being very careful and never discriminating.Why burden the police when we are at war. Aren't we at war with terrorism?
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
So the idea is that we know what a terrorist looks like but we can't upset them by targeting them have I got this right?
How can we win this war with this kind of handicap?

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Friday that terrorists come "in all sizes and shapes and forms" and it wouldn't be fair for police to profile terrorism suspects on the basis of a Middle Eastern appearance.

Of course the police picked a young blond headed girl about 20 years old to search. As long as they're more concerned with ogling women than with finding terrorists, you're right. We will lose.

PROFILE!!!!
Our lives depend on it.
Search every male of obvious middle-eastern descent who tries to enter the transportation system.
Then carry out random searches of other riders, because the terrorists are smart and mean, and it won't be long till they're using blond, blue-eyed recruits to do the dirty work.

Oh, New Yorkers are soooo lucky to have him for mayor. Such fair minded, progressive thinking. I'll bet they feel safe and warm and fuzzy. We all should be so lucky. /sarcasm And if you listen carefully, you can hear the rumble of feet as the jihad minded rush to their new safe haven...

The Mayor has his head planted firmly in the sand.
It's wrong to assume that all Muslims are terrorists or sympathize with terrorists. It is a FACT however that the vast majority of international terrorist activities over the past 20-30 years are committed by young Muslim men who have been pumped full of radical beliefs. It is completely irresponsible to pretend that terrorists are a diverse group -- we don't for example see 85-year-old Jewish females detonating themselves to kill innocent people.

No, make that some random Swedish guys.

And when a surfer gets his leg bitten off, it is unfair to blame it on a shark. Afterall, there are many animals in the sea. You can never discount dolphins.

Aren't we at war with terrorism? That's like being at war with calvary charges.

And out of curiosity, any idea how many terrorist acts have been committed by anyone of non-Middle Eastern descent? I'll wager that it's close to zero. Its ONE. And it's the one that all the PC clowns hang their argument on. Oklahoma City and Timothy McVeigh. That was an act of misplaced revenge for Waco and Ruby Ridge.

I hope the mayor was just spouting this nonsense to avoid political heat from pansies. If the police see some middle eastern guys with backpacks going into the subway, will they really make a point of it to leave them alone just because they've already reached their Arabic quota?

We should ONLY being checking those that fit a profile - Checking people at random is simply a waste of energy (and gives the Terrorists a small victory over American freedoms).
To: Junior_G
We have easily reached the point where political correctness is now more dangerous than racism itself.

Common sense is something a person is born with, unfortunately Bloomy wasn't born with it nor brains, probably thought they said 'trains' and ran to get out of the way, so he missed getting his brains.....
