>Last week, after the arrests of six Arab-American men from Lackawanna, N.Y., who are accused of being members of a Qaeda cell, New York state established a toll-free hotline for reporting suspicious activity. Information from within the Yemeni community in Lackawanna seems to have played a role in the arrests.

Perhaps getting invited to an Al-Queda training camp, attending speeches by bin Laden and then laundering $87K in a casino also played a role?

"We will find ourselves falling into anarchy if we ask ordinary people to play the role that only law enforcement officials can play properly."

This woman didn't act as a law enforcement official. She simply reported what she had heard and let the officials take charge.

Ibrahim Hoppin, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said untrained civilians are more likely to engage in racial stereotyping.

Well, duhhh... Somebody needs to engage in a little racial stereotyping -- including our law officials!!

This guy next door cuts his grass during air alerts with his gas mower, he is seen eating too much beef from his charcoal grill, and he SMOKES! Yoi! What a guy!

Thumbs up to this woman. I think, as a side-bonus, anything that makes mohammedans feel more uncomfortable and unwelcome in America is ipso facto a good thing, and functional in the larger context of our war with Islam. We really don't these savages and their creepy, death-cult religion in our country. This is a civilized country, not a Third World sewer.

"..."There is a real chill in the Muslim community about what will be taken as an innocent comment," Mr. Hooper said..."

Too bad the "chill in the moslem community" isn't the winter wind whipping their smelly burquas and faggish man-dresses as they stand huddled on a railroad siding waiting for the train that will take them to the boat which will take them ANYWHERE but here.

I'm telling.

I am with Eunice.

The whole point of this type of story, and people line DentsRun is to make us second guess ourselfs next time.

If someone should overhear some real terrorist, they may second guess calling the police in fear that they will be scorned, or called racist and bigots.

I say phooey on those that doubt Eunice's actions and motives. To me, they are in league with the terrorist, doing whatever it takes to weaken us, and make it easier for them to attack us in the future.

Well I got news for them, as a conservative Republican for more years then I care to think of, I have been called many names by the left, including racist, bigotted, and so, and you know what, it is meaningless.

If I overheard something that gave me the impression that there was going to be a terrorist act, I would not hesitate to call the police.

Just keep in mind this is all just a tactic to wear us down, and make us easier targets.
