Wow, you truly are that dense. Once again.....'Muslim' would be one piece in a much larger puzzle. One thing drunk drivers do is have difficulty in maintaining a constant speed, does this mean that everyone who has difficulty maintaining a constant speed is driving drunk? No. Do I think a police officer should pull someone over SOLELY because they cannot maintain a constant speed? No. But if the driver cannot maintain a constant speed and is swerving a lot in their lane and exhibiting OTHER behaviors of a drunk driver, than I think they should pull the driver over and investigate. Could be the driver is tired, or slightly distracted or drunk.
Do I think a person should be investigated SOLELY for being a Muslim? I think I have answered that before, but I will answer again...NO. But, if the person is Muslim,and exhibits other behaviors similar to those of know terrorists do I think they should be looked at? Yes. Is that really so hard to understand?
