Practical profiling
NY Post ^ | January 10, 2010 | Editorial

Those purporting to speak for American Muslims say they condemn Islamist terrorism of the sort attempted on an airliner on final approach to Detroit on Christmas Day.

Just don’t expect them to support anything designed to prevent the next attack.

Last week, the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Muslim Public Affairs Council issued breathless condemnations of new transportation-security guidelines that call for enhanced scrutiny of travelers entering the US from terror-prone countries.

CAIR called the policy “religious and ethnic profiling” that “serves to alienate and stigmatize Muslims.” MPAC said it “deeply undermines the Obama administration’s stated commitment to civil rights [and] equality before the law.”
