Ruben Navarrette: Marked by profiling By Ruben Navarrette Published 12:01 am PDT Wednesday, August 16, 2006 Story appeared in Editorials section, Page B7 Is this a bad time to argue we shouldn't profile Muslim Americans? In light of a recent USA Today/Gallup poll that found that many Americans harbor anti-Muslim feelings, I had planned to make another plea that we stop blaming an entire community of people for the reprehensible acts of a few bad actors. And on the heels of a new study -- presented last week at a meeting of the American Psychological Association -- which found that Muslim Americans and Arab Americans are experiencing poorer mental health than other Americans, I intended to say that we should celebrate differences and have zero tolerance for those who harass, condemn and even assault other human beings because of their religion or physical appearance.

There is a real big difference between harassment and being leary of muslims, and that includes all muslims. islamofascism is targeting unarmed civilians all over the world.
Do you want to condemn the islamofascists? Or is the condemnation of the islamofascists not fashionable (or even safe)?

Inshallah is a pig.

When 98%-100% of the terrorists are Islamic Arab Muslims. Then profiling is a MUST.. If they dont like it then they should stand up with a LOUD VOICE and make a worldwide Roar to disclaim Islam and what the Quran stands for. Otherwise. Let the Profiling begin. Door to Door Mosque to Mosque. Little convienient store to Gas station. And the ones who deserve the boot to Quranland, Boot em out. We were doing fine before we started letting every Aziz, Mohamed, alMuslim toting quran thumper in here. But first we should kick ourselves in the you know what for letting it get this far. And until the Whole of America wakes up, The threat will never go away.
