Here is the latest Al Qaeda terrorist nabbed in the United States. He was planning to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge and derail trains. Tell me this guy doesn't fit Ann Coulter's prediction that most of the terrorists are "suspicious-looking swarthy males" from the middle east. She was right, but she took a lot of heat for stating such a simple and obvious thing. National Review, a conservative magazine, squashed her column and banned her from its pages. In response Coulter blasted NR's editors as "girly-boys." lol.

lyman Faris, 34, of Columbus, Ohio is seen in a Department of Justice handout photo, in this image from video. Faris, an Ohio truck driver who met Osama bin Laden and admitted plots against trains and the Brooklyn Bridge, has pleaded guilty to felony charges and is cooperating in the investigation of al-Qaida, federal authorities said Thursday, June 19, 2003 in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va. (AP Photo)

As Coulter pointed out, America is not being attacked by "the Swedish bikini team." We know what these guys look like, and where they're from -- Arabs and muslims, mainly from the middle east. Sure, we need to be on the lookout for converted Muslim blacks, and we know Al Qaeda is now using women as operatives, but for the most part, airsport screeners, law enforcement and average Americans should be on the lookout for "suspicious-looking swarthy males".

I applaud the Department of Justice for its decision several days ago to allow racial profiling of terrorist suspects.


"The racial profiling guidance, therefore, recognizes that race and ethnicity may be used in terrorist identification," the Justice Department said in a statement.

"Federal law enforcement officers who are protecting national security or preventing catastrophic events (as well as airport security screeners) may consider race, ethnicity and other relevant factors to the extend permitted by our laws and the Constitution," the guidelines said.

One small triumph for Common Sense in a sea of disgraceful Political Correctness.
 
You also need to be on the look-out for "converted Muslim whites" like "shoe bomber" Richard Reid; and don't forget the "Bali Bombers"... In fact, just to be on the safe side, be on the look-out for anyone who's male, including yourself. You've been in Afghanistan recently, haven't you? :eek:

My theory is that using racial profiling to check arab and middle-eastern looking men (especially when they are from the middle east) will be beneficial in thwarting terrorist attacks, and is only common sense. As proof, you can see the 911 hijackers, the shoe bomber, and the newly arrested would-be Brooklyn Bridge bomber as confirmation that the profile does in fact match the perpetrators, to a T.

What part of this is difficult to understand?

So what do you do? How do you check if a person who matches your racial profile is a terrorist? Give 'em a questionnaire and hope they answer truthfully?

Ghengis, I don’t think it is difficult to understand, but feel free to correct me if I have it wrong.

In order to prevent terrorism every arab and middle-eastern looking man in and entering the United States should be deemed a likely terrorist. Therefore they should be subject to intensive investigation to acertain whether they are a danger to the nation.

My concern is that this strategy will result in such a massive waste of time and money that legitimate methods would suffer. But then you weren’t being serious were you.
 
The moment we start relying on racial profiling is the moment the terrorists start making use of hair dye and colored contact lenses. Skin bleaching would soon follow.

Also plastic surgery could be used to alter appearances to make people look as if they are from the Far East. The Israelis did the opposite trick to place Asian Jews in Egypt before the six day war.

The moment we try the “easy” solution we become that much more predictable. That predictability will be exploited. It is not about being PC.
 
I wonder if there is a profile for forum trolls? I seem to see a pattern of thread topics forming.

The commonly accepted profile for serial killers is white males 18-32yo...Maybe we should investigate all people fitting this dangerous sounding profile.

Ever wondered if you fit the profile of a serial killer?...try this quick quiz.

Lol...It reminds me of those charts on kids rides at fairgrounds "If you are taller than this line you can ride" We could have 2 doors at airports and a sign that says "If you are darker than this sign please take the left door" yep, that should fix things.

The US is currently holding an Australian Citizen a Gitmo without charge or trial under American, Australian or any other law I can think of...Damned if he's not as white as a sheet...maybe he should be released.
