Actually, it's not more likely. It isn't like the terrorists are *idiots*. You *do* realize that the increased scrutiny of every dark-skinned male in the streets of Baghdad has caused an increase in the number of *female* suicide bombers, right? > Male > Muslim > Devout > Western Educated, especially in Engineering > If that offends them, then maybe they (and realistically, it is only the > Islamic world that can end the scourge of Islamic terrorism) will do > something about the funding of radicalizing Madrassas and firebrand > clerics that are at the root of the whole problem. Good. So tell me - if we started profiling *your* ethnic group because of the increased problems with homegrown right-wing extremists here in the US (Ruby Ridge, McVeigh, the whole skinhead movement, murder of abortion doctors in churches, etc etc) - what *realistic* steps could *you* take to deal with the problem people? Oh, you're in Conneticut and the problem is assholes in Wyoming? Oh, too bad. And yes, I *am* more worried that some stupid with a bunch of firearms who listens to too much Glenn Beck and Teabagger propaganda will do something than I am worried about Muslim terrorists. http://www.nhdflibrary.org/library/documents/Homeland%20Defense%20Library/Hot%20off%20the%20Presses/extremismreport.pdf http://static.crooksandliars.com/files/uploads/2008/12/whitesupremacistrecruitmentofmilitarypersonnel2_a0a33.pdf So you ready to be profiled?
