Muslims face extra checks in new travel crackdown

"Granted, you can't just check suspected Muslims only, since that gives the bad guys an obvious way to beat the system. "

I'd agree with you except... there seems to be an abundance of Arabic muslims willing to blow themselves up. We have yet to see the Swedes or Danes or Germans who want to blow themselves up.

even mohammad (may pig dung be upon him) couldn't trust himself.....
The book mohammad wrote is full of lies.

Well, this old white boy has torn up a few airplanes, but mostly they were in a hangar and I was using a wrench.

I fixed them back better than ever, too.

[Leatherneck_MT]

I would bet you're right.

The last SWAA trip my ailing 81-year old father made to California (the year before he died last November), he was asked to take off his shoes and was searched. He could hardly walk, was trembling and being helped by my mother. He barely understood and had to have help taking off his shoes because he couldn't bend down. I'm sure he looked like a major terror threat. What a joke!

[LanaTurnerOverdrive]

About effin' time.

"even mohammad (may pig dung be upon him) couldn't trust himself....."

Yep, that's why they came up with supercedence, or subrogation. The last thing mohammed, (piss be upon him), said is right.

I talked with a liberal friend who thought he was taught about islam in college. They never mentioned that. And then he clung to the old standard: Well, there are inconsistencies in the Bible.

Makes me want to puke.

I would be curious to know how many planes have been destroyed by whites, asians, blacks, indians, vesus arabs

In England they lump arabs and asians into a single group called asians.

We must think long and hard about the causal factors of anger and resentment.

Mandatory anger management seminars for all Muslims.

>there seems to be an abundance of Arabic muslims willing to blow themselves up.

Profiling will reduce there pool of available jihadis considerably. There will still be the possibility of some white bread converts, but it still makes recuitment a lot harder.

It's a lot easier to get suicide bombers if you train them in the cult of death from birth.

[freeangel]

Too bad it won't happen in the USA

[Always Right]

In England they lump arabs and asians into a single group called asians.

Yeah, not real accurate grouping. It is funny that muslim arabs don't even consider asian and black muslims are real muslims and there aren't too many black and asian muslims who commit terrorist acts.

If the President says we are fighting a war dealing with Islamofacist, I would think that we would spend less time strip searching Grandma from Iowa and more time on mohammad from mecca.

We aren't allowed to. We have to suck it up and go on.

I got really excited when I saw the headline, until I realized this was not happenening in the United States. Yet

Muslims may be welcome, but islam is not acceptable. Yes, it's that simple.

[ladyjane]

IMHO Subjecting muzzies to additional checks will NEVER happen in the politically correct, sissified,U.S.A.

Maybe yes, maybe no.

One year ago at a social gathering I mentioned 'religious war' and 'Islam' in the same sentence. In response I got a horrified reaction.

Over the weekend I heard a young (male) store clerk carrying on about the thousands of cell phones being bought by Muslims. He was fairly well informed so he must be reading more than the local newspaper.

Attitudes are changing. People are beginning to wake up.

"Three days before last week’s arrests, the highest-ranking Muslim police officer in Britain gave warning that profiling techniques based on physical appearance were already causing anger and mistrust among young Muslims. Tarique Ghaffur, an assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said: “We must think long and hard about the causal factors of anger and resentment."

Tarique Ghaffur is a terrorist himself. He is aiding and abetting them. If Muslims don't understand that they are more suspicious because they look like terrorists, then they are just dumb, or more likely, they do understand, but are terrorist supporters.

They complain because they know that by doing so, actual terrorists will have a better chance of not being caught. Their reasoning is " I will be angry and resentful towards you unless you allow our terrorist brothers free reign to kill innocent people."

My question is. Why should we care what they think of us? They want us dead.

[Publius6961]

there aren't too many black and asian muslims who commit terrorist acts.

You are wrong wrong wrong.

If you mean against "Western" society, you may be right. It's not that simple. Muslim blacks atrocities against other Africans is epidemic and every bit as vicious and mindless as anything the Arabs can dream up. Perhaps more so, since they don't have the "civilized" tools that the middle easterners can afford.

This is the Broad Strata of Society from a recent episode of jihaidism in Canada. If you look at pix from the recent public demonstrations in the UK against Danish cartoons, you will see lots of similarities.

At the very least, we can start here and expand the criteria as the intellegence services inform us based on who they catch posting jihadist-speak on internet forums.

Or we can just treat everyone as if they are the next mass murderer. Civil liberarians would love that, up until the very moment their son or wife (er, live in girl friend) gets blown up by the jihadist who was passed over so the screener could devote full attention to frisking the crippled war vet.

"The passenger-profiling technique involves selecting people who are behaving suspiciously, have an unusual travel pattern or, most controversially, have a certain ethnic or religious background."

They brought it upon themselves. You dug your hole, now enjoy the ankle height view.
