      I have been told that there are some Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40 who're not involved in terrorism.

      I'm not sure of course if that's a urban legend,
      but for the case of these 6 brave civilians, you just simply cannot screen on Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40. #doitnow#

        Yes, of course, every terrorist act ever committed has been done by Muslim Arabs.

        Oh, except for the Oklahoma City bombing. And family planning clinic bombings. And eco-terrorism. And that dirty-bomb suspect fella; of course, he was Hispanic, that's brown, practically the same thing as being an Arab.


        Bull**** like this shows that racism is alive and well in our country. You know, 20 years ago today, a man named Vincent Chin was beaten to death with a baseball bat in Detroit because he was Asian. His murderers got off with a few years probation and nominal fines.

        20 years. Does anybody really think that sort of horse**** couldn't happen again today when anti-Arab, anti-Muslim vitriol like this is embraced and held up as patriotism?

        Disgusting.

          I just fired up my cc:mail at work and had this waiting. I thought this could offend someone. We have many contractors from all over the world. With all the diveristy training crap we've gone through...

          still, you've got to wonder...

            They'll just use that profiling against us by recruiting people who lie outside that profile. Profiling is like saying - "HEY! TERRORISTS! DONT BE STUPID AND BREAK ONTO PLANES WITH 17-40 yr old ARAB MEN!"

            Besides its hard to discriminate based on religion like you say. Not all Arabs are Muslims and vice versa.

                It's perfectly ok to profile against 17-40 year old male Muslim extremists. The key word is extremists. What is being done is profiling against all 17-40 year old male Muslims.

                      The fact that they caught the dirty bomb guy tells that they are prepared for others than 17-40 year old muslim extremists being terrorists.
                      And watching over young arab males seems to be pretty futile, how many muslim terrorist have they caught since 9/11?

                          But what's wrong with stopping all 17-40 year old Muslims at airports??? It's only the extermists that are problems and that's a small few... but, what's the problem checking out all - just because they are Muslims?? Would'nt they feel better boarding a plane also. Just because you're Muslim does not mean you'll mind any less when extermists blow up the plane you're on. And if you're Muslim and do not like it... well, stay home I guess. Is there a problem with that??

                            Ummm... yeah, obviously there's a problem with that. But it's even a bigger problem that you deny such a problem exists.

                              Brilliant PC comments-keep your head in the sand, I'm sure everything will be OK.

                              No one can deny that almost all of the terrorist acts that effect the US are committed by arabs. We cant check every individual entering this country. Therefore, profiling is a necessary evil in this case. It doesnt mean that nobody else should be checked though.
