Nope, ..I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics
intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed
to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of
80-year-old
women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret
agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old
Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former
Governor
Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest
they
be guilty of profiling.

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and
other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to
thwart common sense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves -- if they have any
such sense. As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so
aptly put it, "Stupid is as stupid does."

Come on people wake up!!! Keep this going. Pass it on. Our Country and
our troops need our support.

And guess who just bombed London?

Hmmmm.... Just for balance, lets look back through history to see all the carnage caused by christians in the name of god (the crusades come to mind)

I'm not defending the muzlim EXTREAMISTS, however there are plenty of skeletons on our own closets....

edit: for a modern example, how about the abortion clinic bombings/murders??

The answerto #10 is "B"....

In all honesty though, we all (races) have been guilty of "extremism" in the name of "God" or "Country" looking at ourselves in America and what was done to the native populations (Indians)..... It still happens today... here in Virginia there is a big fight over a resivor that the local water district wants to put on sacred indian grounds.

If we wanted to end it we need to stop showing those cowards that wear the towels over their faces on TV.... no more coverage... no more killing.... Now ya done got me on a ... it's the media's fault.... here lately thet have kinda lost interest in terrorism and are hoping that Discovery will fall from the sky in a fire ball.... then quoting Ted Kennedy accusing Bush of abusing power.... I guess you need to know how to abuse it yourself befoer you can see it in some one else huh Teddy boy? BTW Ted... ever get the mildew smell out of your old Buick?.... Now that I amon Teddy... it is because of him and the gang of tree hugging dumbocrats that ruled for decades that we have the gas and diesel prices we have now.... If they had allowed refineries to be built at a pace to keep up with growing demand instead of insane environmental regultions that made it impossible....

I should shut up now.... before i get in trouble....

Good post Jason. If these acts were done by the KKK you would look for white males . If it was done by the black panthers you would be looking for black males. The terrorism lately has been done by muslims of middle eastern heritage, but if you profile them you are a racist. (According to liberals.)
It is just to stupid. Let's not hurt anyones feelings by doing what makes sense. Let's be P.C. and let them continue to kill us.

I can't take credit, my sister sent it to me. I don't really have an axe to grind with muslims but if a certain type of person is predisposed to a crime you go after them. Common sense.

In the words of Ann Coulter, it isn't profiling. It is a description of the suspect. I love how there is always a response to these types of atricles that brings up the crusades. The fact that they have to go back 9 - 10 centuries to find comparable large scale Christian behavior always amuses me.

Since you prefer a more recent example...

Oklahoma city bombing
april 19, 1995

the olympic park bombing in 1996

These two are what come to mind right now. My point is, it could be anybody. If your only really keeing an eye out for your Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40, the white guy that parks a rental truck in front of your building will be the one that gets you.
Sure, the Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40 are the ones that are causing most of the problems in the world today (at least that are being reported mainstream) I can't disagree with that. but I would prefer airport screeners continue to conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss as well as your Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.... Cuz you just can't tell when one of them will blow a gasket and try something stupid.....

Read your American history?
I have family still alive who have scars from being whipped for speaking our native language at a US goverment run school...... they can tell you about US soldiers forcibly removing children from our homes to be sent to baording schools lest they learn about their heratige and religion....schools run by the Methodist and Prespryterian(sp?) and Catholic Churches, under direction of the BIA.
Its been a lot less than 9-10 centuries....

What the American (Government) has done to their own people is just as bad if not worse and I'm leaning towards worse than what the muslims have done to us. The Southern people suffered horribly and many women and children were eithered murdered or ran out of their homes by the criminal named Sherman who claimed he was doing what was right and was condoned in his actions by dictator lincoln. And that war was about as much about slavery as the one in iraq is about peace for our country. There have been far more American Indians and Southerners killed by the government of the United States than by Muslims. Government schools=
