Racial and Ethnic Profiling A Good Idea
So your on a flight to Boston for business and four Islamic looking men walk into your waiting area and sit separately at opposite ends of the room: what should be going through your mind?
Most people don’t give it a second though, and likely there isn’t a problem. However, there is that off chance that there is. So what do you do, in this situation? Well, someone, if not a few people, need to go and disturb security and have them address those men.
This seems excessive surely, but America is at war with the extremist Muslims. There are actually thousand of individuals who would love to blow you and your family out of the sky for Allah and they are Muslims.
American Muslims understand this and must also understand that their motives will be questioned until the conflict is over. Recently, Sen. James Inhofe, R.-Okla., came out and openly suggested that racial and ethnic profiling be implemented.
This statement obviously got some attention especially from the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Inhofe’s statement, instead of being seen as devise or discriminatory, should be celebrated as a victory for American security and embraced.
Now, it is always important to understand that Muslim terrorist don’t just come from Arabic countries, but can easily be Filipino or even of African decent. Always, keep an eye out for unusual behavior that may come from a man or woman, and never be frightened to inquire about their identity. If your gut says take another flight listen to it, but first make your concerns known.

A Muslim woman who was on Flight 253 says she now believes security trumps privacy for air travel.
“I’m always standing up for rights and privacy concerns, but now I hope that body scans will be mandatory,” Aref, 27, said … “Balanced against national security, it’s worth the invasion of privacy. And I acknowledge the fact that there has to be attention paid to Muslims.”

I think anyone who believes that it is wrong to pay specific attention to Muslims when it comes to the security of our nation has their head in the sand. Nearly 100% of the attacks we have seen in recent years have all been perpetrated by Muslims. Not all Muslims are terrorists, that is true, but it seems that almost all terrorists are Muslim. We would be foolish to ignore that fact.
