Bush has always been soft on Muslims. During the presidential campaign, he called for an end to the heightened scrutiny of Arab/Muslim airline passengers. While it's impossible to say, I have to wonder if he ended profiling just in time for 9/11. Here's a UPI report filed on 9/11/2001:

 

LOS ANGELES, Sep. 11 -- Ironically, in an attempt to appeal to the growing number of Arab-American and Muslim voters, exactly eleven months ago George W. Bush called for weakening airport security procedures aimed at deterring hijackers.

On Oct. 11, 2000, during the second presidential debate, the Republican candidate attacked two anti-terrorist policies that had long irritated Arab citizens of the U.S.

At present [i.e., the evening of 9/11], of course, there is no definite evidence that Arabs or Muslims were involved in today's terrorist assaults. Many incorrectly assumed after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that Middle Easterners were involved. Nor is there direct evidence that Bush's attack on airline safety procedures made the four simultaneous hijackings easier to pull off.

Bush said during the nationally televised debate, "Arab-Americans are racially profiled in what's called secret evidence. People are stopped, and we got to do something about that." Then-Governor Bush went on, "My friend, Sen. Spence Abraham [the Arab-American Republic Senator from Michigan], is pushing a law to make sure that, you know, Arab-Americans are treated with respect. So racial profiling isn't just an issue at the local police forces. It's an issue throughout our society. And as we become a diverse society, we're going to have to deal with it more and more."

The problem isn’t Arabs. The problem is Muslims. The Boston Marathon bombers weren’t Arabs, but they sure as hell were Muslims, “refugees” to boot.

“...And as we become a diverse society, we’re going to have to deal with it more and more.”

Well, yes - particularly when it is you effing neo-con rump swabbing RINOs that disassemble are immigration laws, refuse to enforce our borders, refuse to prosecute those who violate our borders, rename the lawbreakers to be “undocumented immigrants,” hand out HB1 visas like they were penny candy, etc. etc.

More diverse is NWO lackey code for the globalists wet dream of emasculating the American people by flooding them with those who do not now and will not ever share our values.

The Bush Dynasty - starting with that evil son-of-a-bitch, Prescott Bush - has always been about instituting One World Government.
