I'd also like to know what a muslim looks like? Does it look like the black muslim from Somalia? Does it look like the towel head from Saudi Arabia? Does it look like the white muslim guy from Colorado?
Which is it? Which muslims do we want to discriminate against?0 -
Actually, security personnel in airports are also looking at passports, and the names therein often give an indication. It's certainly not definitive or foolproof, but it can assist. Now, while there are racists, bigots, etc. who mindlessly support profiling, one doesn't have to be a racist or a bigot to support profiling. Sure, if someone is saying search every Muslim, that is asinine and bigoted. It wouldn't make sense to single out a 55 year Muslim man, or a 12 year old Muslim boy, or any Muslim females. Why? Because they generally haven't been responsible for any of the hijackings or attempts to blow up planes over the last 35 years. It's primarily been Muslim males in their early 20s to late 30s. Some can cite McVeigh, Rudolph, the Unabomber and some others, but any rational person should see that they are an anomaly, in general, and certainly don't belong in any rebuttal concerning AIRLINE security. And Richard Reid is also an anomaly... isolated incidents don't warrant a profile. However, when it comes to hijacking or blowing up planes, there IS one demographic that is not simply an isolated incident. Again, it's not racist to focus on the obvious. If La Cosa Nostra was in the business of hijacking or blowing up planes, I wouldn't want 20-40 year Arab men or Italian grandmothers getting extra attention at the airports; I'd want Paulie Walnuts getting a pat down, though.Last Philly Spectrum Show - Halloween 2009

Anecdotally, shortly after Oklahoma City I was in Brooklyn with a friend and needed something from a convenience store. As I was going in, he said he wouldn't go there because the owner was an Arab and, "they just blew up the Murrah Federal Building." I shook my head and then gave him a ration of shit when I came out, saying that for all we knew it was some anti-government white supremacist. Literally hours later, it came out that it was McVeigh, who wasn't white supremacist, but was anti-government and certainly not an Arab. I get that we can't just mess with an entire race because of some bad apples within it, but giving some extra attention to 20-40 year old Muslim males before they get on a plane isn't a human rights travesty IMO.Last Philly Spectrum Show - Halloween 2009

How about looking at a name. How about looking at where they are coming from. Jesus Christ what kind of fucking world do we live in here. There is a terorists organization that is mostly made up of muslims and they want to kill us. Sorry but you blind ass fucking liberals don't have a clue. Oh no, we can't search every muslim in an airport, that would be racial, that would be profiling, that is picking on there religion. All the political correctness of all you liberals is going to kill us. Let's just keep traveling the world and bowing to everybody bringing america down to size....ooohhh yeah everybody is going to love us yeahhh. It's very fucking simple.... muslims fit the discription so check them out..... the funny thing is I bet muslims at an airport would agree with me more than alot of the @#$%^ on this site. COMMON SENSE!!!!!!! Would love to see all the 21st century peace loving hippies at an airport with all the muslims walking through security while they search your stupid asses. See how safe you feel at 38,000 feet then.0

Wake the fuck up! We are searching grandmothers and children while this stupid fuck walks onto a plane because somebody like YOU was afraid of discriminating somebody. And then to top it all off this lovely fucking J.V. Administration running our fucking country gets on television and tells everyone how the system worked. DUH!0 -

i agreed with your post until this part right here. you said we can't mess with an entire race because of a few bad apples, but giving extra attention a a smal group of that race is not going to make us safer. how good would you feel if a 41 or 19 year old muslim, or american, or nigerian, or brit, or aussie, or mexican, or peruvian blew up a plane? you either look at everyone more thoroughly or you change nothing."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

my common sense tells me that it seems you have some anger issues. i'm glad you are not the one making decisions here in our government because you would only perpetuate the general feeling around the world that americans are a group of self centered, spoiled, elitist, xenophobic, and scared people, which would only invite more attacks...
you claim to not be a racist, yet the more you deny it and rant on about this topic the more you make it clear that you have some serious deep seeded problems with muslims as a whole.
do not tell me i am a "blind-ass fucking liberal" and that "i have no clue" or that i am "going to kill all of us" because i believe in being decent to everybody. you ever hear that you attract more bees with honey than with vinegar? this is how the holocaust started, people like you planting these ideas into other people's head, "muslims are bad, muslims hate us, muslims want to kill your child, muslims want to take over the world", except they said jews instead of muslims...you can not prevent attacks by profiling because they are already getting women to be suicide bombers, so that would blow your profile of "muslim men age 20-40".
it is YOU who needs to wake up my friend."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

Are you really that stupid? You do know there are muslims that don't look like typical muslims, right? You do know that there are white muslims in terrorist organizations, right?
Using your logic, the terrorists are going to blow us to bits. Because racists like you will focus on typical muslims while they use someone else to blow shit up. COMMON SENSE
I want everyone searched hard. EVERYONE0 -

it is YOU who needs to wake up my friend.
Yeah, I was angry at the time I wrote this. Probably should've cooled down before writing. I have no deep seeded issue with muslims, why would I? I don't even know any. And if I did know any they would be more than welcome in my home......as long as they didn't want to blow me upSorry if I offended anybody, I just get really angry sometimes because sometime something really bad will happen....probably a plane will get blown up, and more than likely with a little common sense it could have been prevented. I'll put it this way, if I was muslim I would want myself and other muslims checked before getting on a plane, it makes sense and it would make me feel safer, but I guess more people will have to die from Al Qaida attacks before anybody in this administration can see that. And just out of curiosity, you are all afraid of profiling or being labeled a racists...how would you suggest we make our air travel safer? Haven't heard any other ideas except for putting an x-ray machine at every terminal which will cost billions.

you don't have an issue with them, you are just afraid they want to kill you....maybe we should pull over and check all white males driving a ryder truck?don't compete; coexist
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?
