A Quiz on Profiling    
     


To ensure we Americans never offend anyone and remain "politically correct" to satisfy the Liberals -- law enforcement and security screeners are not allowed to "profile" people in public places or security checkpoints.

However, they will continue to perform random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year-old congressmen with metal hips and even Medal of Honor recipients.

But targeting Middle Eastern male Islamists between the ages 17 and 40 constitutes "ethnic profiling."

Let's pause a moment and review....please take this quiz.....

President George Bush said this week, "America is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation."

The Council on American-Islamic Relations issued an immediate objection to the President's reference to "Islamic fascists".

Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR protested, "We have to isolate these individuals because there is nothing in the Koran or the Islamic faith that encourages people to be cruel or to be vicious or to be criminal. Muslims world wide know that for sure."

In light of this objection, we are left to ponder why every Islamic leader in the U. S., and the world, does not publicly condemn every terror action being undertaken in the name of the god of Islam. Their silence is deafening...

Between 1970 and present, there were more than 60 other notable examples of terrorism perpetrated by Middle Eastern male Islamists between the ages 17 and 40, but we think you get the point.

Singling out "Middle Eastern male Islamists between the ages 17 and 40" is not "ethnic profiling," it's "terrorist profiling" -- acting on prolific evidence.

Anyone for Terrorist Profiling?   :stupid

Depends if you want to be warm and fuzzy about it or not...  But there is also a flip side to that coin...  How many terrrorist and/or malicious acts have been purpotrated by white males between 17-40??? I dont know the answer to that one but I know there are more than a few.    

I am all for using a statistical advantage to help weed out possible terrorists.  But I think the issue is that we arent profiling everyone.   Which brings up another problem... If we profiled everyone based on a possible risk.  Would the inconvienience outway the risk?  

Its a tuff question..  But in the end, I think profiling is a useful tool in Law enforcement as well as anti terrorism as long as it isnt blindly implimented...


Never Trust Anyone That Talks Too Fast.... They are hoping you miss something!

I don't have a problem with it at all. I say if you do have a problem with it leave this great nation and spend a few years with those sorry focks in their native land. I'll bet their would be a change of attitude if you live that long :cry
