Anyone for Terrorist Profiling?
Gee - This seems to make a bit of sense!!
To ensure we Americans never offend anyone -- particularly fanatics intent on killing us -- law enforcement and security screeners are not allowed to "profile" people in public places or security checkpoints. However, they will continue to perform random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year-old congressmen with metal hips and even Medal of Honor recipients. But targeting male Islamists between the ages 17 and 40 constitutes "ethnic profiling."

President George Bush said this week, "<ST1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region></ST1:place> is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation." The Council on American-Islamic Relations issued an immediate objection to the President's reference to "Islamic fascists". Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR protested, "We have to isolate these individuals because there is nothing in the Koran or the Islamic faith that encourages people to be cruel or to be vicious or to be criminal. Muslims world wide know that for sure." In light of this objection, we are left to ponder why every Islamic leader in the <ST1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region></ST1:place>, and the world, does not publicly condemn every terror action being undertaken in the name of the god of Islam.
