As soon as the Muslims stand up and eradicate the scumbag innocent killing Muslims we won’t profile them in the mean-time let’s start raiding ALL of the mosques in this country and find out who the radicals are sent them packing!

I agree, Methodist grandmothers and Catholic nuns should get extra security checks before Muslim males. /sarcasm

“Balance Isn’t Always the Same as Accuracy”

IPT News
December 22, 2009

SNIPPET: “Imagine a news story on the problems posed by steroid use in sports. It includes comments from former baseball player Barry Bonds, who argues that professional sports leagues and Congress need not investigate the matter because the players can police themselves.

It notes that Bonds has had “a contentious relationship with Major League Baseball due to suspicions he was a steroid user himself, a charge he denies.” But the story doesn’t say anything more about the basis for those suspicions, omitting reports of failed steroid tests and a perjury indictment for allegedly lying to a federal grand jury about his steroid use.

That story might be considered balanced – it reports the general allegation and the denial. But it’s woefully incomplete and the outlet which published it likely would meet some ridicule. There’s a detailed record available to challenge Bonds’ denial that is not presented to readers.

Yet, that’s the routine when it comes to the media’s treatment of the tense relationship between federal law enforcement and national Islamist organizations - the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in particular. That tension derives from the FBI’s decision to cut off routine communication with CAIR and from a series of counter-terror investigations targeting Muslim charities linked to terrorists or involving the use of FBI informants in mosques.”

It's led to insecurity and fear because we DON'T profile, Mr. Hooper! (BTW, what kind of a muslim name is *Hooper*?)

When 80 year old scandinavian grandmothers start bombing planes, I will agree with CAIR. Until them...

Has the world ever seen a bigger whining, insufferable group of people than the Moslems?

Profiling is no big deal for airport security. Its not like they are being given traffic tickets, they are just given more extensive security checks, and deservedly so. I say profile the hell out of them. I also say that, at such time scottish white males start blowing up airliners, PROFILE THEM TOO!

“Where’s RICO?”

OPINION:

He’s probably eating lasagna or raviolis somewhere.

(I’m almost on my after-Christmas diet — thoughts of food equals weight gain.)

Anyway, RICO just doesn’t seem to come up much these days PGalt, kind of like treason.

When it comes to terrorism and aircraft I think Hooper should be advised I'm already profiling on the basis of race, religion, skin tone, dress, shoes and whatever else it takes to create in him and his funny little friends FEAR sufficient to dissuade them from covering up for terrorists.

I want Hooper so fearful that he shakes as he goes to bed at night.

Ibrahim Hooper of the Washington, D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations says, "While everyone supports robust airline security measures, racial and religious profiling are in fact counterproductive and can lead to a climate of insecurity and fear.""

Dear Mr. Hooper:

F--- you, you two-faced raghead traitor. You'd better believe I'm going to assume everyone who looks likes you or professes your creed is guilty until proven innocent. Franklin D. Roosevelt would have locked every man jack of you in a effing concentration camp, and to hell with the consequences. That's why he WON his war.

The First Amendment is a suicide pact, and it will end up allowing people like you to kill this nation, but until then I'll be damned if I'm going to let your kind fly _my_ plane into a building for the sake of freedom of religion.

One day soon, Our Lady will crush the head of your Satanic heresy just as she has crushed all the others: through the invincible power of her Son. I look forward to that day. Until them I AM WATCHING YOU.

Sincerely,

B-chan

Profiling is exactly what we have to do. When a policeman tries to solve a crime, he doesn’t start with A in the phonebook. When was the last terrorist incident fomented by a radical Norwegian Protestant, or a Peruvian Animist, or a Laotian Buddhist? I can remember seeing an elderly Chinese woman in a wheelchair undergoing a patdown search, and yet this Islamic young man whose own father turns him in, is not searched? OK, put us all through the ringer, but connect the dots, for goodness sake.

Frankly speaking, I have always said search all — all as in everyone.

If in doubt, see FR key words:

whitejihadis
whitejihadi
whitealqaeda

Hey Ibrahim, up yours buddy. If I’m on a fight and there are people who even remotely appear to be Muslim, I’m going to be watching them closely. If they act suspiciously I’m going to pounce first and ask questions after.
