Profiling Muslims. What should be we be looking for?

[Hatuey]

Wait until I put up all the options. So which one of these characteristics would you use to profile a Muslim. I made them as wide as possible so that they could be used like say 'racial profiling' would be. You know. Skin color, hair color and eye color. Before you vote take into consideration of some of the different ways Muslims can and do appear :


This is a Muslim :

These are Muslims :

Make sure "We Shouldn't Profile Them" is an option, because I want to choose that one.

You could just ask them for starters......

 

[EnigmaO01]

Why does it have to have anything to do with race? How about just making sure scrutiny is sufficient for those that come from countries with a history of terrorism and of a religion that has a precedence of fanatics. Is that so terrible?

Throughout history almost every religion has had fanatics. Including Christianity.

Muslims are the ones with bombs strapped to themselves. It used to be, according to the Center of Historical Correctness at Hollywood, Russians or people with Slavic accents.

Or something like that.

Attack Christianity if you must, but I haven't seen any bombers from them in quite some time.....
Muslims are far more likely to use IED's, hence they must be profiled.....

But we aren't talking about history. We are dealing with the here and now.

Could you fill in those blanks...

What is a Muslim mannerism? I don't think a Terrorist is going to be doing much "mannering" while in queue for security.

Anti-abortion violence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to NAF, since 1977 in the United States and Canada, property crimes committed against abortion providers have included 41 bombings, 173 arsons, 91 attempted bombings or arsons, 619 bomb threats, 1630 incidents of trespassing, 1264 incidents of vandalism, and 100 attacks with butyric acid ("stink bombs").[10]

You where saying?

And what about these things should raise a red flag? When we start profiling these factors the terrorists will just make an extra effort to blend in. Then the list will grow exponentially.

Behavior is probably the most telling of the above. The rest will be pretty useless.

Do people who know they're fixing to die self conciously act differently than people who think they're going to keep on living past the next few hours? Are they tense, fumble with things, nervous, sweating perhaps, anxious, edgy?

Let's say you see a swarthy looking male, mid to late 20s, visibly aggitated, gittery, wearing a very clean white shirt. Would you take a closer look at him, more than othe passengers?

Yeah, over 32 years.....:roll:
You can't say that the anti abortion freaks were all Christians either, that would be profiling....:roll:
The topic is profiling Muslims, put the straw man away....
Your hatred of Christianity is evident or is it all religions?....

Not if you are brain dead.....

 

[Zinc Route]

***** Are All the Progressive's on this board as Dead set against the implementation of Sharia Law as they seem to be about profiling anyone ????Or would it be Okay in Muskogee or Idaho Falls as long as Martha's Vineyard & Santa Barbara were guaranteed a Century of eternal excess/abundance and West Hollywood was assured Pure Hedonism forever???

 

[OxymoronP]

None of the above.

You dont profile an ethinicty.

You simply profile behavior, group dynamics, persons attitude and demeanor.

Simply stopping a young black male walking home from school is negative profiling.

Stopping a young black male standing on a corner wearing a red bandana is a responsible profiling method.

Seeing a Arabic men in a suit, walking calmly, smiling, not looking around too much and stopping him is negative profiling.

Seeing an Arabic men with a long beard, nervous, fidgiting, perhaps anxious should be stopped and questioned.

Seeing a Chinese College student nervous, fidgiting perhaps anxious is much different.

Muslims use IEDs. Christians mostly use non-improvised explosive devices dropped from the sky, but Tim Mcvey was a Christian and he came up with a dandy IED.
Best to keep the IEDs off the planes.

 

[Gardener]

Can Mos Def even play that bass?

I think I'd rather profile Victor Wooten, and believe me, the interrogation might take hours and involve hundreds of witnesses.

And, a white kid, walking down the sidewalk in a gated community, wearing a read bandanna will go almost un-noticed. So, yes, racial profiling does take place.

Yes, a white guy in a gated community wearing a red bandanna doesnt have the characteristics of a gang member.

Where as a Black guy on the corner wearing it signifies blood affilitations and thus criminal activity. It is not based on race, simply the fact that the Bloods are a black gang and they do wear red tags.

If the white kid was bald and wearing boots, he should be stopped in any community.

The belief that it's not based on race is naive, sir.
