d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

Add that Jamaican shoe bomber and the Hispanic dirty bomber, too.

I think racial profiling will hurt our efforts.

When the Oklahoma City federal building was bombed we all assumed it was done by:
a. Bugs Bunny, Wiley E. Coyote, Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd
b. The Supreme Court of Florida
c. White male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

But fortunately we caught the right guy due to dumb luck.

We murder far, far more of our own people than terrorists do. Maybe we should stop giving them reasons to hate us.

There's those Oklahoma City guys to think about as well. :roll:

And

Lee Harvey Oswald: white guy.

John Hinkley: white guy.

Lynette Alice (Squeaky) Fromme: white chick

Over the past 30+ years, who has been more responsible for murder, bombings, beheadings and general mayhem in the world? Squeaky Fromme and her friends, or Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40?

:roll: back at you.
Roughly 14,000 murders in the US in 2002. The vast majority of the offenders were white or black (about 50/50 between the two).

Odds are, if you're going to buy it on any given day, it won't be a arab male taking you out.

Stats here.

I don't know what airports you've been at but all the ones I've been to have checked me EVERY SINGLE time in these 'random' checks... And I'm Indian (and not muslim), but I've been informed by many that I 'look' like a 17-40 yr old muslim.


I think I've only been picked a couple of times, but I haven't flown much recently. I was once stopped at the airport and had my items searched. They said that they found traces of a chemical explosive on my shoes. I had to sit there and talk to some bomb explosives guy for a little while. But I was really early for the flight so I didn't mind at all. They were pretty nice about it anyways and it's a fun little story to tell friends :)

I wouldn't really mind about being 'racially profiled' in this case even if I'll be 'targetted' more than others since I guess I look Arab, too.

I'm up for racial profiling for Arabs in airports if everyone else is fine with racial profiling for whites & blacks everywhere else - they're violent murderers!
