The "experts" who said the sniper was a right-wing white guy and the anthrax (vanity)

While not all evidence is in, it looks like the sniper was a Muslim. Huge surprise to some.

All the newsmedia talking heads and the "expert" profilers, have been saying the sniper was a white domestic right-wing domestic. Even as more evidence mounted that this could possibly be terrorism, the networks did all they could to steer clear of it.

Freepers have been saying this was Islamic terrorism since day one. I guess that makes the Freepers smarter than the people whose job it is to profile. But we're really not smarter we just have common sense, and we're not afraid to be un-PC. We are at war with Islam, and anybody who tries to pretend that we're not is a fool.

One of the anthrax mailings said something along the lines of "death to america, death to israel, allah is great". This led the experts to believe that this is a domestic right wing terrorist. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that just like in the sniper case, the "experts" are wrong. We're at war with Islam here people, wake up.

No, not anymore....just moved.

As for terrorists....yes, I would call these two terrorists because they terrorized the community. Are you suggesting that Farrakhan and all NOI followers should be rounded up, arrested, or some other disposition? Would that keep this from happening again?

Sadly, the answer to this one must be no. Would I keep an eye on the "Death to America" crowd even if they happen to be American by birth? Yes.

I do them the honor of believing them when they say such things.

No, you can't round up the Farrakhan followers, unless you can prove some conspiracy. There is no law in advocating violence, only acting on it.

I've had many responses today on FR that suggest we should do just that to all black muslim Americans....or perhaps just all Americans of muslim faith.

Maybe, but I doubt it. Some of us are actually able to hold more than one concept in our minds at the same time.

A replacement for Michael Medved on his radio show today said that the sniper was Al Qaeda because Al Qaeda was an "umbrella organization" for all terrorist groups. My first thought, give me a break. Saddam has already done enough on his own to warrant his removal. One doesn't have attribute everything that happens in the world to him. Or to Al Qaeda either.

Many posters feel that the American Muslims are deserving of discrimination because of their tacit support of the terrorists actions. If you have to admit that tacit discrimination may be a case of turn about is fair play.
