Wounder why that is!!!
news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060823/ts_alt_afp/britainusattacks_060823224824 NEW YORK (AFP) - A leading US Muslim group said it was disturbed by reports that US authorities were racially profiling passengers at New York's Kennedy airport. ADVERTISEMENT The Council on American-Islamic Relations said it had received three separate reports from Iraqi-born Americans alleging they were detained for up to six hours at the airport last week without justification. The allegations came from a Michigan couple, two people from California and a New Jersey woman travelling with her five children. The council said that it feared hundreds of other passengers had been filtered by security on the basis of their names or appearance. It called on officials "to partner with the American Muslim community in order to ensure national security in a manner that is consistent with American values of justice and equality." A statement from US customs authorities denied they were screening passengers on the basis of ethnicity, but acknowledged increased security over an alleged plot by Muslim extremists to bomb US flights from Britain. "CBP (Customs and Border Protection) does not use racial profiling, however CBP officers may scrutinise more closely individuals arriving from high-risk countries," it said in a statement. It refused to divulge why some passengers were screened, citing privacy issues, but acknowledged that there were "extremely long wait times" at Kennedy airport on the day concerned, saying heightened security was mainly to blame. * Email Story * IM St |

If a black dude robs a store I'm not going to stop a bunch of white guys looking for the bad guy.

Its been said before, I will say it again. Not all Muslims are terrorists but it seems all the terrorists are Muslim. |

you work for chief Moose? |

Ya know...it'd be nice to someday wake up and NOT have some "group" in America pissing and moaning they were "oppressed."

what's funny too is CAIR has direct links to hezbollah, hamas and fatah and those dumbasses. Furthermore to ad insult to injury, our all-knowing(sarcasm) gov decided to give them a tour of a chicago airport and show them EXACTLY how our security works and what we look for in screening...... how stupid can you get?
CAIR, as far as I'm concerned, is nothing more than an American outlet of various terrorist organizations in the middle-east. |

President Bush and Cabinet officials indicated that Usama Bin Laden was the prime suspect and that they considered the United States in a state of war with international terrorism. Apparently, Muslims within this country think that there is no pattern here and that any scrutiny of Muslims is wrong - according to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). A spokesman for the United States of America, unaffiliated with the US Government, addressed CAIR's concerns as such, "Get Some, CAIR!" |

When will these knuckle heads learn? The TSA does "target" People for suspicion it only "clears" those who DO NOT fit the profile, you know like babies and 80 year old Japenese women. All those who are left are not profiled they are just not those who are "highly unlikely" to be terrorists. I assure you it is pure coincidence that all the "middle eastern" looking people are within that group.

I would at the very least deport them all and not allow any in. Thats real profiling.

U.S citizens alarmed over exploding muslims killing tens of thousands world wide!!!!
Fixed that headline for ya, my truck bomb driving friend. I was searched when I flew last Monday, as were 150,000 other white guys and 300,000 elderly people and a few thousand blacks and a few thousand mexicans, all so we could get a peek into the bomber vests of a few arabs without offending them,,,,,as usual it did not work. |
|
I think the US is trying to profile but doesnt have the experience to do it as well as the Israelis. Being from a high risk country is one aspect of it but BEHAVIOR is the most important
|
|
Alarmed over profiling, but not alarmed over their brethren causing innocent civilian deaths all over the world.
Care-o-meter at -1billion. |
|
Most of the Islamic world, including Tehran, condemned what happened on 9/11. Thousands of them held vigils in the street. We lost their sympathy over the following years with our friendly foreign policy. |
|
|
When they start coming up to the plate and policing their own, then perhaps they'll have a say. For now, since they have not done jack shit as far as the apprehension of a single terrorist cell in the US, then F'em.

Cry me a river. I'll stop profiling when I can walk down a street in the middle east without fear of kidnapping/decapitation. |
|
Great sig line material. |
|
|
Not surprising coming from the terrorists at CAiR.....
CAiR can lick my taint......fuckin' scum.... |
|
I guess the "thousands" of vigil holders were kind of outweighed in my mind by the millions cheering in the street over the deaths of my fellow citizens. |
|
|
Millions, eh? Regardless, the people in the article were US citizens... |
||
|
Regardless, they seem to fit the profile of those responsible for driving planes into buildings, blowing up train cars and busses, beheading captives on video....and seem a bit more likely candidates for a little extra attention then 80 YEAR OLD WHITE WOMEN and 8 YEAR OLD KIDS..... |

|
Do you never tire of apologizing for terrorists? |
|||
|
Do you never tire of apoligizing for the same flawed logic that paints every gun owner as a school shooter or a right-wing extremist militia member? |
||||
|
If you ever have to post, God forbid, here on ARFCOM how a loved one or friend was killed by a muslim nutjob with a bomb on a plane, bus, train, whatever, I will be sure to remind you that the nutjob was an American citizen, therefore we should not suspect him until after he blows himself up.... |

BLACK dude, not SOME dude |

|
Tired, very tired....while I understand your point, and agree....I do not think we should ignore the obvious fact that a certain group of people are hell bent on killing Americans.....it IS a different situation |
|||||||
|
Perhaps then you can explain the Pew polls that since prior to the invasion of Iraq consistently show Osama Bin Laden having a higher approval rating among Muslims then does the US? |
|||
|
Okay, but I draw the line when we are using racial or religious profiling against Americans. I don't consider ethnicity or religion alone to be probable cause. |
|
|
Im glad you brought that up, because if Right wing Militia people started doing what Muslims were doing (and dont bother bringing up McVeigh that was once, 13 years ago) I would EXPECT the police to begin profiling white boys with crew cuts and "arayan cross" tatoos. IF they did'nt, i would call them incompetent. If i was pissed about being white and crewcutted and questioned by the police about Extremists, guess what i would do?? I would try in any way i could to stop the milita people, like not shelter them, not give money to their organisations, And i would not bitch about being a fucking victim since 1200 Anno Domini. |
|||||
|
I would expect the FBI to crack down on those groups, not for the government to start harassing law-abiding gun owners and stopping people on the street who might be an Aryan Nation member because of their skin color or lack of hair. |
|
|
You really need to remove Infidel from your forum title, maybe try allah is great? |
||
|
Any of these fucking hyphenated Americans are not Americans. Muslims that are not activley terrorists are deep down in thier rotten fucking souls supporting it and are happy to see any kafirs killed. That is thier way. We would not have to profile any of them if we simply rounded them all up and send them back to thier 11th century ideal 3rd world countries. Your other statements about the gunman shooting up a school is not well thought out. An individual or small group is not the same as an entire religion with millions of members who would like to see all that are not muslim destroyed. Islam is indeed the enemy. |
||
|
I will care when the same group openly complains about the folks in their religon that are attacking us.
Until then I don't care. |
|
No, see I am a true Infidel of ALL religions. |
|||
|
Put up a sign at the airport.
If you feel you are being unfairly targetted for your religious beliefs then don't worry. For every person and their belongings we inspect we spend equal time beating the living shit out of Amish people in Pennsylvania. Thank you for your cooperation. |
|
When the only people who are declaring "Jihads" against us are muslim, then I think you can safely say the Jews don't want to blow us up. CAIR is just complaining because they want to make it easier for would-be terrorists to commit their cowardice acts...Racial profiling is a neccesity in this case if we truly want to prevent any future attacks against us.
As I believe cincinattius said: "When in doubt, kill the guy who's yelling "Allah U Akbar!" It's truly sad that it's come to this point, but just remember...it was the muslim extremists that took us down this road. |
|
Please elaborate. Too often these discussions wind up badly. But if you have facts that support this statement, I'd personally like to hear them or see links to them. Also, I remember CNN specifically broadcasting video of Islamic approval for the attacks: men cheering in the streets and burning US flags. Perhaps I missed all the support shown us by Islam in the days immediately following 9/11. Again, links would be helpful. |

It is not fucking racial profiling, this is what our ENEMY looks like.
