Nope, .........I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure democratic western Christian civilisation never offends anyone - particularly fanatics intent on killing us - airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile (or target)certain people. They must only conduct random searches of 80-year-oldwomen, people in wheelchairs, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members of the U.S.President's security detail, 85-year old World War II veterans with metal hips, and Boy Scout groups. They must never "target" a turbanwearing 17 to 40 year old male who appears to have a suspicious package tied around his body. This would be unjustified discrimination!

Call me cynical - or am i?
"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they? And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I don't. I don't care at all. I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns him self in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11. I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia. I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat. I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques. I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs. I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights. In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave Marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care. When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured; I don't care. When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the Bank; I don't care. When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts; I don't care. And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, you guessed it - I don't care! If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your e-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior! If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then, please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great country! And may I add: "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem." -- Ronald Reagan I have another quote that I would like to add AND.......I hope you forward all this. "If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under." also by Ronald Reagan One last thought for today: In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America, he said: "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in...And how many want out." Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:


1. Jesus Christ


2. The American G. I.


One died for your soul, the other for your freedom. YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM. AMEN!
Reply:if you are Bord than go play halo or something..
Reply:I understand what you are saying, I really do. I can't agree with rascal profiling anymore today than when it was imposed on the Japanese in 1942 or Black men today. But take a look at:

Many of your questions posted above are factual, but I have my doubts about all events from 2001 till today.
Reply:Oh my!! You bad person!! How dare you suggest that radical Muslim males are responsible for terrorist attacks!! How racist!!


Of course I say this with tongue in cheek......but that is a typical response from the Left WIng.
Reply:I bow to you. I thought I was the only one who thought this. These people should be in internment camps already.
Reply:D, is the answer to every question, and thank you for also remembering.








James W. - learn to spell and stop playing HALO !!!
Reply:Anyone else for "make the middle east a parking lot" Sounds hella good right now!





CHERNOBYL IN IRAN 08! LETS PRAY FOR IT!
Reply:Thank you thank you thank you! I couldn't have said it better myself.
Reply:Man, this is the first history test I have passed in years. Thanks for the ego boost. Anyway, those old ladies deserve the searches, they chose to get old. Radical Muslim Extremists were born that way. They can't be blamed....
Reply:Ya this is what we get for being "pollitically correct."
Reply:Today, being cynical is being intelligent. You will notice that our "horrible" president is trying to protect us, while the "wonderful" liberals like Pelosi and Reid are trying to sell out to the Muslim extremists. Liberals want to surrender to them in Iraq like they surrendered to the Viet Cong in Vietnam
Reply:I got this in an email a few months back. Good points; people DO forget sometimes all that has happened.
Reply:The correct answer to each question is "Muslim Extremists."





But don't worry, "Islam is a peaceful religion. If you don't believe that, they will kill you."





Of course, one should also consider a remark by Asafah on Yahoo answers, when he quotes the Koran: Peace is defined as 'submission to Allah' and if need be comes at the tip of a sword.





For those unaware of Asafah. He regularly asks questions here, is unabashedly a supporter of the militant muslims and is a muslim. He also has high praise and is comforted by the anti-war, anti-soldier members of Yahoo.
Reply:i say forget being politically correct let grandma through and grab the raghead right behind her with the funny looking string hanging from his shoes
Reply:LMAO no kidding! We need to stop being so PC and just call the fu*king kettle black.
Reply:Right on, if they are not guilty of anything then they shouldnt have a problem with being searched.
