While America Slept.

I know that. The poster who made the comment to which I responded says he/she is Indian American. I didn't know that because I didn't check the poster's homepage until after I responded. However unfortunate, yes, Indian Americans may also be more subject to profiling. That being said, my heritage is Irish & English, and whereas I might not be profiled on the basis of my ethnicity, I seem to have made "the list" at the airport. I haven't been able to fly once without extra baggage checks since 9/11. It's a real pain in the behind. Even so, I certainly pay attention to the ethnicity of my fellow travelers and I hope airport security is doing the same. That's just common sense.
What mobs? The people have yet to begin to form a mob. I wish they would -- and run all Muslims out of this country on a rail.
The reason for wanting to get thrown off the plane had nothing to do with money and everything to do with expanding Muslim power through victimization PCism.
Sure, and if a Klan member is wearing a hood and robe your profiling works like a charm. If he's wearing blue jeans and a tee shirt you can't pick him out from everyone else. So how do you profile Muslims? They don't walk around with a big M tatooed on their forehead. What't the alteternative? Make every passenger eat a porkchop? Strip search everyone who isn't blond haired and blue eyed? How exactly would Coulter profile?
No, I think it's a reasonable question. How do you tell just by looking at them if a person is a Muslim?
While America Slept.
"How feasible is internment now? Where will the mobs stop? Will people like me (brown but red blooded) get it also?"
Let a car bomb or a nuke (God forbid) go off in an American City and internment might "might" happen.
Unfortunately with the PC mentality of the people in positions of leadership in this country, I don't see it happening until a cataclismic event happens to force their hand.
"So how do you profile Muslims?"
not my yob man...
it's the highly paid professionals' yob to profile...
but if a middle aged lady on a plane can point them out,
surely you and every other swingin' dick on a plane can.
gezzzzzzz...
Your name has been added! :)
"The reason for wanting to get thrown off the plane had nothing to do with money"
and just how would you KNOW that? LMAO
Tell ya what, I'll bet you steak at the Palms that there is a lawsuit filed within a month by some ACLU ambulance chaser.
You can't. However, making educated guesses is just common sense.
"I think it's a reasonable question. How do you tell just by looking at them if a person is a Muslim?"
BTW, I think I'll wait for a response from the person who posed the question originally, thank you.
Would praying loudly in Arabic in the airport be a hint?
Oh, money is an added bonus, but not the reason.
"but not the reason"
I hate repeating myself...and just how would you KNOW that?
Giving you the benefit of any doubt, those are rhetorical questions, aren't they?
It's transparently clear that they wanted the media to pick up the story.
By the time Achmed in the Middle East hears about it, it's just another example of why America must be destroyed.
If a child can't pray during school recess, then why should anybody be allowed to spread rugs on the floor in a boarding area and make a spectacle of their praying by louding calling upon Allah?
And the part of the story of their switching seats and not buckling their seat belts, making anti-American cracks...
I wish some American passengers in that plane would have kicked the crap out of all of them. WITH THEIR SHOES ON!
*THAT* would have been a story.
I'm making an educated guess. This is typical behavior. This is what CAIR is doing.
I don't think he was referring to the government's repsonse.
Whites and christians are profiled all the time. We're crazy, racist, intolerant, etc.
