NaBloPoMo Day #17... profiling

There is a lot in the news right now about airport security. About the intrusiveness. A man is now on the no fly list simply because he wouldn't allow them to pat down his crotch area. I don't blame him. He even volunteered to go through a scanner, but that wasn't enough.

They are searching young children, elderly, nuns - you name it. And granted, anyone can be a terrorist, and a bomb could be hidden in the child's teddy bear, but does anyone else think this is ridiculous? Why not focus on the people who are committing 99.99999% of the terrorist acts - Muslims.

I know, I know. Muslim does not equal terrorist, but most, if not all, of the terrorist acts and attempts in this country in the last decade were made by Muslims. Muslim extremists, but Musilms none the less. Yet, we can't profile. That sure makes it easier for them, don't ya think?!

I think they SHOULD focus on Middle Eastern people. If they don't like it, then stay off our planes. Sound terrible and racist? Well, here is a scenario for you:

Say a group of terrorists springs up that go with a certain look. Shaved head, swastika tattooed on their neck, and a swastika earring. Every time a terrorist attack is done or attempted, the terrorist sports this look. Now don't you think they would start watching for these guys? If they try to go on a plane, that they would single them out for special screening? You bet they would! And no one would be agains it - well, other than the ACLU and Democrats.

Well, wake up people: almost every terrorist attack in this country, whether attempted or failure, from 911 to the Fort Hood shooting, to the underwear bomber... have been done by Muslims. We ARE at war with Islam, whether radical Islam, or just plain old Islam.

The more I read, the more convinced I am that Muslims in general want the downfall of America. Oh, they all aren't going to be terrorists, but they hate Israel, they hate America, and they want us both to go down. Remember when 911 happened? They were dancing in the streets over in the Middle East. If Muslims don't hate us, don't want us destroyed...... then where is the outcry against the terrorist acts from the "peace-loving Muslims"?

I have friends who disagree with me, even in my church, and that is ok. I am afraid we are going to wake up someday, if the US is still here, and find that Islam is ruling America. That we will be forced to become Muslim, or die. No way Jose'? Oh yes, Jose'. We already have a president, government, and media who are pro-Muslim - where do you think that is going to go? If it comes down to a choice between Christianity or Islam, what will the liberal media and government pick? They already go out of their way to paint Muslims in the best way possible. They still won't call the Fort Hood shooting a terrorist attack, or say it was because the shooter was Muslim. No, the poor guy was picked on. Waaaaaaaaaaaaah! So was I, and I never killed anyone!

So what is the answer to the whole aiport security mess? Profile, profile, profile. Disagree? How safe would you feel seeing a couple of Muslim men getting bypassed for searching to get on the plane you are flying on. Wouldn't you feel the slightest bit nervous? Don't lie - God is watching.......

And again, to stave off such comments - yeah, ANYONE can be a terrorist, but anyone isn't.... Muslims are.

I'm going to surprise you. I agree. This issue is not whether all Muslims are terrorists -- of course they aren't. In fact, most aren't. However, the issue is whether most terrorists are Muslims. And, at the moment, that is true. Profiling is just good sense, if it is based on realistic information and not just prejudice.

I'm with Steve-n-Deb on this one, too. I read somewhere that they were thinking of exempting Muslim women from the searches. That puts up a red flag for me. I haven't flown commercially for a few years, but if I would happen to want to go somewhere, could I opt out on the searches based on the fact that I am a Christian woman? I'd probably be searched double since they do label Christians as radical extremists since we are against what the Muslims teach.
