CAIR: Don't racial profile after airline incidents December 27, 2009 23:04 EST

SNIPPET: "WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Muslim advocacy group is urging passengers, crews and security personnel to avoid ethnic and religious "profiling" in the wake of the attempted bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight in Detroit on Christmas Day.

In a statement, Ibrahim Hooper of the Washington, D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations says, "While everyone supports robust airline security measures, racial and religious profiling are in fact counterproductive and can lead to a climate of insecurity and fear.""

Debate: C.A.I.R. VS. (Former) SECURITY CHIEF FOR EL-AL AIRLINES (Re: “Profiling) My Challenge

VS.
WHO: Yeffet Isaac, Former Director of El-Al Airlines Security -VS.- Ibrahim Hooper Executive Director of C.A.I.R.

WHAT: A Well Overdue DEBATE

WHEN: As Soon As Possible

WHERE: LIVE NATIONWIDE on American TV, CNN, FOX, Major Networks, Radio Stations, NPR, etc., With Studio Audience Able to Ask Questions

WHY: America dodged a major bullet on Christmas Day in Detroit. Reports are that additional terrorist acts involving US airliners are probably on the way. El-Al has a clean record of never being attacked by Islamist Extremists. C.A.I.R. has stated that the US should not, at all costs, racially and religiously profile passengers in the United States. Policy must be discussed and action must be taken.

HOW: Each Side Alloted 30 Minutes Presentation to Make His Case or His Experience in Thwarting Radical Islamic Terrorism and the Wisdom and Relevance of These Efforts. Then Counterarguments and Cross Examination, Audience Questions, and Closing Remarks. For a Period of Two Hours. The Debate Question? “Resolved, That All US Flights and Flights Destined For the United States from Abroad, Shall As Part of Their Screening and Security Operations, Immediately Commence Conducting Racial and Religious Profiling Of Each and Every Passenger, and Muslim Passengers or Others Fitting Established Risk Profiles Will Be Particularly Scrutinized Using Established El-Al Airlines-Type Security Techniques”

Wow - what a treasure trove of information about CAIR.

Will have to plow through it later but the Repubs in Congress and all other “experts” being interviewed about the recent attacks by Islamic terrorists need to emphasize the CAIR ties to the Obama administration, specifically Holder, and to members of Congress and all US governmental agencies where its members have infiltrated.

What comes around goes around, its about time we make Muslims traveling to and across America fearful that we are watching them.

And as broad spread as grasses upon the prairies armed citizens are now paying much more attention to Muslims.

Passengers are reacting at the smallest of provocations of Muslims on aircraft, many refusing to fly with Muslims, many more are openly staring them down, taking pictures of them and distancing themselves.

Vigilante groups are watching the encampments of Muslims, the mosques and businesses of Muslims.

America is growing more aware of this menace to them, or at least now protesting the incursions Islam is having on our free society. The more I hear of CAIR trying to downplay this and trying to give America a sedative the more upset and focused I get, I am not waiting for a leader to tell us what to do about Islam.

I already know what to do.

“Has the world ever seen a bigger whining, insufferable group of people than the Moslems?”

I don’t think it’s whining - it’s a strategy. The goal is to make anyone who focuses on Muslims as potential terrorists worry about charges of racism and discrimination.

It often works, sadly - at least in terms of government security procedures. This is exactly the type of political correctness we must push back against - hard!

F**k you, Muslims. Stop being the 99th percentile of terrorists, and we'll ease back on the profiling in 20 years.

All terrorists have been muslims but let’s not profile.

I have to ask, is that a photoshopped or a setup picture? It’s almost too ridiculous to be real... but nothing would surprise me in this completely ass-backwards world we are living in right now..

The First Amendment is a suicide pact, and it will end up allowing people like you to kill this nation, but until then I'll be damned if I'm going to let your kind fly _my_ plane into a building for the sake of freedom of religion.

Not at all. The First Amendment only guarantees that the goverment cannot establish a religion or restrict the free exercise of religion. I don't see anything in there pertaining to travel. So I will laugh at and dismiss any of CAIR's claims that restrictions on muslims' travel supposedly violates the First Amendment.

On the other hand, the Federal Government is clearly empowered to regulate interstate and international commerce. I would dare say that flying from one state to another, or flying from the USA to another country or back clearly fall under the definition of interstate or international commerce, respectively. Therefore, if the US Government were to impose restrictions on muslims' being able to fly on airplanes, then it would be perfectly legal in my book.

Of course I live in fantasyland... I really think that the government cares about that ratty old document I just referenced.
