Having checked with exactly what Evidence was talking about I have to agree.

Evidence pointed to an example of who would be checked at an airport. We are checking more thoroughly now due to Islamic terrorist attacks. Now obviously if you are Muslim you are not automatically a terrorist. But in today's climate if you are a terrorist with a bomb you are very likely to be Muslim.

I have heard Muslim people in the paper, on the news, and on phone ins berate the fact that they are checked at airports and other places more rigorously and frequently than white people. Well I hope so. What are they suggesting, that an old lady should be checked as well, or instead of, just to be Politically Correct and to appear "fair". What a pointless exercise. I feel for those who have come under more suspicion since 9/11 and 7/7 but their annoyance should be aimed at those who have killed innocents in the name of Islam and not at the authorities trying to keep the public safe.

The same policy of "profiling" occurs everywhere, everyday consciously or unconsciously. If 3 people walked into a sweetshop, one an old lady, one a businessman and 1 a teenager with a burberry cap. If I was the shopkeeper i know which one I would be keeping a close eye on.

This whole racial profiling thing has gotten way out of hand. The color of one's skin is part of one's overall physical description, it's just idiotic to say that the murder suspect is wearing blue jeans, a green shirt, but we're not allowed to tell you what color skin he had. It's stupid to be looking for a criminal in a predominantly black neighborhood and not be stopping suspicious blacks to questioning. It's moronic to be in a conflict with a religion made up primarily of arabic people and not be looking more closely at arabic people. That doesn't mean you treat them any differently, that doesn't mean you pull them out of line for no reason, it means that you use what you know about the criminal or potential criminal in order to make it more likely to catch them.

People need to get over themselves.

So dumb.

Where do you get ideas like that its so ignorant. Ethnic extractions have nothing whatever to do with anything of a moral nature, and certainly shouldn't be made into a legal one!

Tastes in appearance concerning race is unrelated to racism.
Prejudices in legal arenas is a different matter.

Honestly, get this through your head, more Muslims are being caught because Muslims are being targeted more, according to official American statistics i believe the attacks from al-kida was something like 50 minus. Honestly i think it was 25 but I'm exaggerating in your favour. However the highest attacks was from a christian group i think that was over 900! Check yourself. Anyways isn't it surprising how al-kida is still more popular?

I sense a conspiracy...

When an individual is opposed to or has animus toward a system or a society, the individual is likely to be a criminal. When an entire group of people is opposed to or has animus toward a system or a society, the system or society is likely to be a criminal state. Of the animosity of blacks in the 1960s, the IRA in Ireland, and the Muslims today, none of that anger came out of nowhere.

"Racial profiling" is a criminal state protecting itself from a backlash against its criminality.
