If you talk to Arab or Muslim Americans, the stories of routine harassment by various authority figures - based on their names and appearance - are legion. As the public debate continues apace over how best to avoid London's fate, many here are beginning to wonder whether the same sense of alienation and disengagement on the part of young Muslims can really be avoided. ----------------------------------------------------------
Yes it is avoidable.
1) CAIR denounces Muslim terrorism
2) Leaders in Muslim communities denounce Muslim terrorism
3) People in communities report suspicious behavior
4) Hate mongers are expelled from mosques and reported
5) Money to Muslim charities is donated to causes in the US
Do these and maybe we will talk.

When Bloomberg said on WABC that "I think if we've learned anything, it is you can't predict what a terrorist looks like." That was good enough for me. Until then, I thought that the danger was coming in the form of radical Islamists, but now I know that I'm in just as much danger from 80 year-old church ladies and the infant children of NY WASPS.
I don't feel any safer, of course, but I do feel pretty damn noble!

Random Searches == Ineffective
Profiled Searches == Effective
To: traumer
Searches divide?
Not nearly as devisive as a bomb would be. Bombs tend to divide bodies. If they're "offended" , f'em.

"We will divide our country and the city of New York, and right now we need unity - for all of us to stand together."Riiiiiight. The closer we stand together the more people can be blown up together.
To: traumer
It sure has the potential to divide people --
between the living and the dead.

they maintain that random searching is effective, and a good deterrent.Yep, when you make a LAW that PROHIBITS checking the people most likely to be terrorists (Middle Eastern males between the ages of 18 and 45), it just makes me feel soooo protected. (disgusted sarcasm off)
