Muslim spokesman: "Muslims won't stand for airport body scanners"

Fox Morning News | 12/29/09

A Muslim spokesman was interviewed on Fox this AM. When asked if he thought that full-body scanners at airports would improve security, he replied that Muslims would never stand for them because they would show the bodies of Muslim women. The interviewer let that pass without any protest.

Folks, you have to love it. I know that this whole thing was the BEST thing to happen in 2009.

Know why?

Now we are down to the truth:

You can’t talk your way out of a war with Islam. You can charm your way out, or buy your way out either. Poverty doesn’t cause radicalism. Islam hasn’t UP UNTIL NOW started policing itself (Yeah DAD!!!! - Seriously the guy deserves a medal for turning in HIS OWN MUSLIM SON).

Until this father’s actions become the norm, you MUST PROFILE MUSLIMS in order to protect your society. War or peace, you are down to having to profile them.

It’s the only alternative that preserves the liberty of everybody else that lives in the US.

I have cousins in Missoula, transplanted Texans, they love it.

Any system can be defeated. That's why its important to have a multi-layed system, using technology, observations, and physical searches.

Which is why El AL uses multi-layer security. See post # 276

Was that Shiite or Sunni Episcopal? (Jes' kiddin'...)

But, what would the problem be if they had female readers for the scanned women and men for men? Just like a locker room...

[algernonpj]

The govt needs to figure out a way to provide security WITHOUT inconveniencing 100% passengers 100% of the time!

They could copy what el al does. see post #276

(Yeah DAD!!!! - Seriously the guy deserves a medal for turning in HIS OWN MUSLIM SON).

I just hope he sends me that big check soon...

Yes, it was a former El Al security expert, and everything up to that point (the body scanner question)...he was spot on and most of us, if not all, would have agreed with him down the line.

But he was vehement (unusally so, imo) when they asked the 'body scanner' question????--and the El Al guy brought up the issue of Muslims not allowing it as it would be a perversion to their women.

Perhaps I'm naive, but why would a 'former El Al security expert' ....have any hesitancy about body scanners, knowing full well Muslims have no qualms about secreting weapons to use on them, on us and on anyone they hate??

It was a stark departure from the previous tone of the interview?

"Multiculturalism and diversity are nothing more than a national suicide pact."

In particular for white, Western democracies. Ever notice that's it's only white western European, American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and South African people and nations who must be "diversified" and "multiculturalized". Oh excuse my non PC faux pas ... that's racists of me to point that out this state of affairs.

>Folks on FR are “supposed” to be conservatives, yet it amazes me how many are willing and eager to give up basic human rights for a perceived quantum of security.<

Amen, randita. It’s downright pitiful how many supposed conservatives are begging to give up your rights so they can feel safe.

People, if these terrorists go one step further, it means they’ll start either (1) stuffing explosives up their hindparts or (2) having them surgically implanted in their abdominal cavities.

As I said upthread, herding American citizens, who fit no profile, through these scanners does not increase security one iota.

I absolutely agree, time to pre-screen. And attack the lax program that is nothing but a circus.

And the responsibility also falls upon every citizen as well, walk off the flight if Muslims are on board or more to the point appear to be in the profile of known terrorist profiles.

[exnavy]

You are correct, hasn’t anyone ever heard of the fourth ammendment? When are our countrymen going to grow some cajones

[ROCKLOBSTER]

What I like about El Al’s approach is that they catch not only those on the terror watch lists, also those who have recently traveled to Muslim countries for ‘training’, converts who don’t fit the traditional Jihadist profile, e.g. blond blue-eyed man name Patrick O’Reilly, and those who are duped into carrying.

Sounds good to me. In the case of our domestic flights, it seems they could have levels of screening, some of which could take place before you even got in line, a credit check for example.

The true American "born and raised", not duped, not converted, should be able to breeze through the first level having passed speech accent screening, standard screening and the muslim-jokes test.

Naturalized citizens and foreign nationals would have to face a tougher standards.

The obvious muslims and likely suspects should face the "long form" clearance, miss the flight if they whack out or copp an attitude.

Those whose name is a computer match on a terrorist watch list or no fly list...stuff&cuff 'em right there.

[Cacique]

We would have to ban those planes from entering US airspace since nobody on them was checked..

[2harddrive]

So now, the government will give them free Muslim jets???

[stevie_d_64]

Well...Ain’t this a case of tough shiite??? hmmmmm???

[hal ogen]

So? Hit’em on the head with a baton. Then they won’t have to “stand”. mooslims are cultural freaks and uncivilized morons. who cares what they think?
