No, they should be questioned because they fit a profile that takes their
age, race and perceived socio-economic status (based on the class of car)
into account in addition to their location at a specific time. This profile
was very effective in catching kids buying drugs. So if you want to see an
equivalent then we can take some Arab looking guy in a car with a "Allah
Rules" bumper sticker hanging around synagogues at strange hours of the
night. Or he can have henna in his beard (a sign of devotion) or he can have
a handful of steriotypical clothing or or or. A profile has more than a
single element.

I'm not seeing the congruency in your example either.

Ok, so in this example they should be questioned because they are in a black

> Muslim" right? What's the equivalent then to "a black neighbourhood" in the
