I agree about profiling Middle Eastern men (who form the majority of those who practice radical islam). But Islamists are recruiting non-Middle-Easterners, including black prison inmates and other ethnic minorities. I would include Middle Easterners among those to be profiled, but expand it to include any ethnicity practicing Islam.

And of course with modern theater makeup techniques it takes about an hour to turn a middle eastern man into a midwestern woman. Profiling is great, but it's not the panacea, and eradicating the rights of every middle easterner in America will do nothing more than add enemies as we tell them that the radical fringe in their midst is right and we really do hate them all.
