Anyone for Terrorist Profiling?

Mark Alexander
From Patriot Post Vol. 05 No. 45; Published 11 November 2005 | Print Print Email Email

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....

They were hijacked by: (a) A retired police officer on a mission trip to Haiti (b) A firefighter going to Maryland for training (c) An paramedic on his way to vacation in Hawaii (d) Middle Eastern Islamist males between the ages of 17 and 40.

In 2005 more than 50 UK citizens were killed by bombs on trains in London, detonated by: (a) Rail workers (b) Those unable to hail taxis (c) Wheelchair-bound grandmothers (d) Middle Eastern Islamist males between the ages of 17 and 40.

In 2005, there were hundreds of casualties, men, women and children, killed by bombs in Jerusalem, Riyadh and Amman. These innocent civilians were murdered by: (a) Construction workers (b) Farmers (c) Christian missionaries (d) Middle Eastern Islamist males between the ages of 17 and 40.

In 2005, the city of Paris, and other European cities experienced an extended period of riots and destruction. The unrest was led by: (a) "Youth" (b) Soccer fans (c) Catholic nuns (d) Middle Eastern Islamist males between the ages of 17 and 40.

Since the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom, more than 2,500 Americans have been murdered by terrorists. 35,000 Iraqi men, women and children have also been murdered by terrorists. Most of the combat and civilians casualties were the result of bombs detonated in civilian population centers by: (a) Fruit vendors in Baghdad (b) Disgruntled transit union workers (c) Iraqi schoolteachers (d) Middle Eastern Islamist males between the ages of 17 and 40.

Since 2001, the FBI reports that there are major terrorist cells still in U.S. urban centers. Several of these cells have been uncovered and cell members arrested. In every case, the terrorists cell members were: (a) Southern Baptists Conventioneers (b) Lutheran Youth Groups (c) Presbyterian Elders (d) Middle Eastern Islamist males between the ages of 17 and 40.

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 to be 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 "terrorist profiling" -- acting on prolific evidence.

Anyone for Terrorist Profiling...?

Yes, but we can resolve the situation entirely by simply expelling all the Muslims from this country.

The Koran is nothing BUT hatred and directions for the murder of "infidels." It is a "religion of evil." Supreme evil. And directly tied to Nazi terrorism under Hitler.

LOL, count me in too. Got to zero in on possible suspects, can't continue to inconvenience everyone. By the way, if you have blonde or red hair, inorder NOT to racial profile, YOU will be zeroed in on.

LOL, that is NOT racial profiling is it?

Short answer: NO.

They aren't all Mideast teenage males anymore. They're white, female & pregnant, and children. Back to behavior profiling.

Can you tell the difference between a Christian Filipino and a Moslem Filipino just by looking at him and hearing him talk? I can't. How about a Christian Kenyan and Moslem Kenyan?

The mooselimb is the one with the bomb strapped around his waist.

Is this too hard to understand?

The common denominator isn't "Middle Eastern", it is Muslim. Lebanese Christians, Coptic Egyptians, and other non-Muslim middle easterners are of no terrorism concern, whereas Indonesian Muslims, Caucasian & black Muslim converts, and 3rd generation Muslim citizens are all of grave concern.

Muslims will eventually need be registered and tracked in a program similar to how we currently treat sex offenders.

It's come to the point I'm lumping all Muslims, be they brown or purple, into one group.

They bloody asked for it.

What do they expect? Another free pass? I think not.

The one who doesn't say, "Derka Derka,Mohammed Jihad" is the Christian.

"Muslims will eventually need be registered and tracked in a program similar to how we currently treat sex offenders."

Perhaps we should simply make them all sew a yellow cresent on their clothing.

I'm amazed that you aren't discerning enough to tell the difference between innocent Jews going about their business and being required to wear a yellow star and then put in ghettos and later concentration camps and ovens...and not innocent adherents to Islam who teach their children to wear bomb belts, swear to annihilate 'infidel' and come up with schemes to kill as many 'nonbelievers' as possible at one time.

Who are you fooling with your air of pomposity?
