sorry lexx lurker; should have written ‘identifiably chinese appearing, or hispanic appearing or irish appearing’ [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]…obviously it is a religion, not a race, but unfortunately for super’s uncle, the people we identify as muslim tend to be middle eastern appearing, thus relating back to the profiling issue…btw, in this age of ‘we daren’t say what we mean’, i also don’t like the catch phrase of ‘profiling’with all the negative implications…if someone tells you they were mugged by a ‘little white man with payos and prayer shawl’, then that is what you should be looking for…by extension, is it wrong to stop all middle eastern-may be muslim appearing people to avoid further terrorist acts? well, yeah, i guess that is profiling, i think we mostly agree that it is a necessary evil, and not necessarily persecution…as to the west’s role in all this, let’s bounce it back into the islamic court; why are you allowing these fundamentalists to run amuck? these people must have fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters…afghanistan had a nice little reign of terror going on, particularly against women, because of these fundamentalists, and none of the peaceable, ‘we just want to love god and be gentle ‘muslims did anything to correct these guys…in fact, i am mostly hearing that ‘we’re not all like that, so don’t treat me bad’ and precious little, ‘you’re right, we’re fed up with these goons too, let’s get them under control together’…and i guess that’s why my sympathy factor isn’t quite as high as it could be…so far the people that seem to be ‘with’ the ‘evil’ usa on this antiterrorism crusade are not ‘identifiably’ muslim, and those that are against this coalition would appear to be ‘identifiably muslim’ …so like sadgeezer says, why not ask for some strong show of support by islam against the terrorists, instead of telling people how rotten it is to be victimized…just a thought, and sincere hopes that you and yours never know worse than what you have told us about here…fx
