U.S. Airport Guards Told To Be "Sensitive" toward Muslims
Arutz Sheva ^ | Dec 29, 2006

Posted on 12/28/2006 8:21:02 PM PST by jdm

The American Transportation Security Administration has instructed airport security guards to be sensitive to more than 15,000 Muslims traveling to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj Muslim holiday.

Guards have taken a "sensitivity course" which taught them that Muslims believe Jihad, the Arabic term for a holy war, actually is an "internal struggle against sin." The also were taught that when noting suspicious Muslim passengers, they should be "aware that they may also be praying."

American government institutions may be just as suicidal as the jihadists. Too bad we may have to suffer another big hit or two or three before we come to our senses, if we ever do.

. . . Jihad, the Arabic term for a holy war, actually is an "internal struggle against sin."

Any verse needing an interpretation beyond the plain words ought to be interpreted according to the prophet's example.

I hope I can lead you further into temptation.

It's never crying wolf, they are all death cultists. The cabin and cockpit crews will always be grateful and the TSA cannot usurp a captain's authority.

If the middle easterners are not taken off the flight wait until the plane has pushed away and is taxiing towards the runway and begin to shout, "let me off, let me off, let me off this plane!"

The onus is on us.

"Because of that, racial profiling creates weaknesses in our screening, in a way that behavioral profiling does not."

It's wise to use both methods. ....although of course neither is fool proof.

"Any race, any person, from any locality, can be coerced by terrorists."

Obviously. But the question who's most likely to be one? And the answer, by an overwhelming margin, is young Arab Muslims. ...so profiling those who fit that description - yes, darkish-skinned Middle Eastern-looking people - is the prudent thing to do.

"Before the recent round, the most common bombers were the Irish Catholics."

Not even close. Muslims have been tops in this category for a long time before this "most recent round." And anyway, the discussion here centers around terorist attacks against American citizens. Read up.

Who are these terrorists? Not Irish Catholics, not Jews, not little old Protestant ladies from Pasadena, not the Amish....

Muslims. ....mostly of Arab ancestry.

Here we go again; kissing up to the Muslims. What's the matter with our government? I forgot, we're dealing with the ROP.

You've never heard of "the troubles" in Northern Ireland, I take it.

The IRA were quite accomplished at blowing up British soldiers and various Protestant symbols and people. They'd even blow up fellow Catholics if they were co-operating too much with the Brits or Proddies.

On the one hand the government sacrifices American lives in Iraq in a war against Muslims and on the other hand they allow them in the country in droves. I often wonder if this is not done intentionally.

I guess the threat of planes crashing into buildings isn't enough to heighten your sensitivities.

Yes, and did Irish Catholics ever invade and settle in other countries, threaten to take over entire countries by a certain date, stone a
teenage girl to death because she was raped by a male cousin, have clitoridectomies done on their daughters, etc. etc. Want more of a list?

Sorry, but since you DID, after all, mention “PC” in your post, you are simply the latest recipient of a newly discovered definition of the term, to wit:

Political Correctness:

”A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”

By spreading this definition around, perhaps we can employ one of the more effective methods of deflating and defeating the fools who practice and promote it: RIDICULE.

Unless stopped – and soon – PC will DESTROY Western Civilization -- if it hasn’t already.

PASS IT ON!!

(Credit hereby given to my late cousin Karl Benton Clark for either creating this definition or bringing it to my attention)

Next, the passengers will be required to have a Muslim Sensitivity Course in order to fly.
