Matt Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 Yes.. but this would help to deal with Muslim terrorists who are of African decent or who are white Muslims in exactly what way?In my previous place of work Special Branch officers were said to have been very interested in a very radical white Muslim who had gone to Afganistan just before September 11th... And who never came back.Incidentally, he scared and offended my Muslim colleagues because he was "far too strict" for them in his beliefs. Quote
Faerie Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 that i don't have an answer to matt...it's a start, but not the full answer... Quote
nessa8223 Posted July 19, 2004 Report Posted July 19, 2004 I guess my last post didn't show up, but I said YES!!! No matter how much it stinks, we need racial profiling in airports. I for one am not of middle eastern descent, but I could easily be mistaken for being so, and if I were stopped, I would rather be searched top to bottom and interrogated to the fullest than run the risk of dying on a plane as those poor souls on 9/11. It is very necessary foir our safety. Terrorism is a huge threat on us, especially with how many countries are against us as of yet. It's just another trial from the adversary. We cannot always rely on divine intervention, but we can learn our lesson. Fool us once and it's their bad, Fool us twice, well thats our bad. Quote

And how many of these can you think of that have actually committed terror? I can only think of one or two... Quote

Yeah, that'll work. Exactly! We have to protect ourselves! And if we lock them up that will only be for their own benefit. They will be safe there.Sigh. Quote

shanstress70 Posted July 20, 2004 Author Report Posted July 20, 2004 Thanks, Spencer. I actually read this before. I'm awaiting the follow-up of that article. I tend to believe the article, after reading what I have found about it. But I could very well be wrong. Quote
