Just being a follower or convert to Islam does not a terrorist make.
Why so hostile? You think this was a good idea then?
“Just being a follower or convert to Islam does not a terrorist make.”
No, but it’s a good start. What I meant to convey was that not all Muslims are going to look like Middle Easterners. They have blue-eyed blond Muslims in Albania/former Yugoslavia, and the odd Californian in the States. The terrorists we’re worried about the most now are those willing to die to make their point. A hijacker taking over a plane is passe’. You have to worry about a suicide bomber with a couple pounds of C4 carried internally.
“Why so hostile? You think this was a good idea then?”
Didn’t mean to sound hostile, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be called a jackboot-licker soon. “Good idea” is relative. If you can’t profile by appearances, then everyone is a suspect. Short of very invasive searches or very good explosive dectection technology, you’re just pissing in the wind.
