We have our own religious extremists - they have taken up arms and live in the hinterland of America convinced the UN will invade in blue helicopters. There have been a few stand-offs already with the feds. There are some hardcore Jewish extremists too that are terrorists - in fact, one just died recently in jail. The IRA was not Muslim if I remember correctly. I don't think Timothy McVeigh was Muslim - why don't we profile people like him who I believe are more of a threat?
What's wrong with prayer? I'm always praying myself (especially before exams). There are tons of people who pray in public - especially before meals. My dad does this, it used to bother me. But even at school - all those "crazy Christians pray before meals in the dining halls. Suspicious? What if it was Muslims praying? Suspicious? And how about the football teams that pray befor the game? That's suspicious. Security better go check it out. And what if one of the players is Muslim? should we remove him cause Bush is in the crowd? Like say. Ahman Green - Ahman is Muslim right?
Shaq is Muslim - Is that what Muslims look like? - maybe we should put 24 hr surveillance on him. Hedo Turkoglu is also Muslim. Now, do those two look anything alike? How do you even begin to racial profile that? Come to think of it, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sounds Muslim - better interrogate him. Paula Adbul too. And Mohammed Ali. Yep, cause racial profiling makes sense.
