The title of this post brings rise to a thought I have been having. No need to go to Bosnia for Blonde Muslims. What many folks don't realize is that Alexander The Great left a legacy in the Khyber of blonde-haired, blue-eyed Muslims. While I have been one to advocate profiling, this awareness makes me aware of the potential folly of this approach.

The Russians left behind a few blonies too

I have known some very fair skinned Egyptians and Saudis. The majority aren't but there are some who are, I think one lucky thing is they tend to be from a pretty elite class and like bin Laden they have no intention of dying for their cause, they expect others to do that.

I don't think we should exactly race profile because most Middle Easterners are white and racially are no different than Eastern and Southern Europeans. It's more language, it's difficult for most people born in a foreign country to speak American English perfectly well with no accent at all. Even in the US, it's usually easy to pick up where an American was originally from, even if they lived in another area for years. Language is about the best way to spot a foreigner.
