Muslim Extremists aren't Muslim... hmm..

Germany was a nation not a religion. These Muslims who are doing this are coming from all over, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, etc. So it's alittle diffrent.. They come together as MUSLIMS.

Let's not forget who stopped the Nazis of GERMANY.. Christians.


99.9% of Muslims are good, but yes, we should "profile" them and stop wasting tax dollars searching white grannies and the former vice president.

Im not saying that Muslim extremists arent Muslim. Im sayin that Hitler and the Nazis, can still be considered Christians...even if it was a twisted version of it. The Nazis used Christianity to justify the war to the German people.

Blah. This is ridiculas. I've been pulled over at checkpoints because someone driving a grey honda robbed a bank. I happened to be driving a grey honda. Did I get angry and cry racisim? No. I didn't rob the bank, but I happened to match the description of a percentage of the population in which the bank robber happened to classified in. Good for the officers. Anything else is waste of resources and completely devoid reasoning. Until we have the resources to search EVERYONE, search those who statistically have the higher percentage probability to commit a crime. End rant.

Bingo.

When brown-haired brown-eyed males age 19-23 are flying airplanes into buildings, I'll be the first one to get to the airport earlier to get searched. Its a minor inconvenience and helps to protect fellow Americans (and the image of brown-haired brown-eyed males age 19-23. If we have nothing to hide, whats the problem?)

The "slipper-slope" arguement some have made isn't very pursuasive. We have a number of problems in America (in addition to terrorism). By ignoring statistics and history we are doing nothing more than prancing (politically correctly) around the problem. Lets focus our resources and nail the problem. If people are concerned about the entire country becomming prejudice in some way against these people who are being "targeted", use some of the money saved by NOT checking grandma at the airport and work to educate the American people.
