Why don’t we list, or better yet, not allow to board any aircraft anywhere, any person of middle eastern appearance? Let’s revoke the presumption of innocence to anyone of middle eastern appearance because we don’t know for sure that they’re not.

Okay, I'm game. Let's do that. By the way, our city lost a young lady 21 years of age (flt 93), and a very close friend lost a family member in WTC 2. Seven members of my family spent a combined 12 years in Iraq dodging bullets and IED's - with very close calls for three of them; one being my son. What's your point? Perhaps you need to spend some time researching who we are fighting before you open mouth, insert foot (and chew vigorously while enjoying your filet of sole). Tell me, if Muslims belong to a religion of "peace" why have so very few come out publicly against those who use terrorism to try and destroy the "infidel"??? Just as with the soldiers who have served and are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, I do not trust any of them until they have demonstrated worthy of my trust.

I’m sorry for your loss, I know what you went/are going through. This is not about muslims, it’s about profiling on appeareance. If you saw me you’d most probably assume I’me middle eastern and subsequently muslim. You’d be wrong yet some here would still be OK with publicly naming me and putting me on a ‘list’, that’s my only point.
