FBI in Oklahoma conducting "voluntary" interviews with Arabs in the state

[shiner]

Just heard on the local news that in addition to the APB that was put out on Arabic men driving a white van, the FBI in the state is now conducting inteviews with people of Arabic descent who live here. Seems a bit general to me to just be talking to any Arab but it sounds like that's what they are doing.

6 degrees of acquaintance maybe?


It does sound stupid that they'd be interviewing people because of race, though.. But then again, you have less of odds finding a Mexican suspect through a Japanese man than another Mexican that lives nearby.

I don't want to jump to any conclusions.

Several of my neighbors were on the news last night. I have several Arabic neighbors and some of the news channels were here interviewing them for their thoughts on the war.

I bet the words "Against Islam" and "Israel" were mentioned 20 times in those interviews.

No, not a single time. My neighbors are typical average people. One of the males is head of an Islamic society here, but they are not radical people. I am glad they are my neighbors instead of trailer trash or morons.

I would still be watching them though. You never know.

How about no? I am not a paranoid freak that worries about what his neighbors are doing. Now, if they gave me a reason for concern I might watch. The only person I keep track of in this neighborhood is the hot chicks.
