"There is no reason for anybody when they see a Middle Easterner here or there to panic," said Ihsan Saadeddin, spokesman for the Islamic Community Center of Phoenix. "There are 8 million Middle Easterners in this country, and they cannot be treated like this."OH YES THEY CAN, IHSAN. AND THEY SHOULD BE. AND THEY WILL BE.
I loved this. When is someone from this "community" going to stand up and say the UNDERSTAND our concern? Frankly, the more I read stuff like this, the less worried I am about how they want to be "treated". I am no racist, but the profiling they are so offended by is perfectly reasonable in a case like this. It amazes me that this person cannot SEE that.

Right on! You are absolutely right, we MUST take a stand in our community, and stop being so bloody PC, or it can cost more lives! It already did by looking the other way w/ the likes of Hani Hanjoor and his buddies in our neighborhood trying to learn how to fly. Profiling these goat-ropers are a MUST! Our southern border leaks like a sieve, and it's up to US now to be "on guard". Its survival time, bay-bee!
