I wonder why this isn't in the major news media or even Drudge? I guess articles about members of the phony moon god insane death cult being "profiled" are no-no's?

...the crew of a London-bound Ryanair Airlines Flight in Stockholm used racial profiling to zero in on a group 20 Muslim passengers after one of them had been caught carrying a loaded gun. You would think the gun would have been a dead giveaway, but nNNNNnnNNNnnoooOOOOOOoooOOOOOOooo!!! Let them on anyway.
I bet they wouldn't have gotten on if one of them had possessed a nail-clipper, though.

How cunning of these terrorists to disguise themselves as Moslems going to a radical mosque in London to worship Allah.
This just shows that profiling doesn't work and is evil!

Salafi is a fundamentalist sect whose teachings are popular with members of bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist network........The Birmingham conference is expected to attract 3,000 Salifi followers.......Well, how nice! 3000 terrorists or terrorists wannabes all in a nice bunch. Lock 'em up!

Salafi is just another name for Wahhabism, the bitterly anti-American sect of Islam also founded in 1776.
When God willed a new order be established on earth, Satan also willed the same.
Someday the world may learn not to allow Muslims on planes. If Muslims had been meant to have airplanes, God would have had them invent them. If Muslims were meant to fly, camels would have wings. China has already banned Muslims from flying there.

Not strange, just an example of bending over to the Saudis.
SALAFI= WAHHABI = SAUDI

At a ratio of 20:189, if Birmingham were bombed; the lives saved would be 28,350.
All other things being equal...

3000 wacky whahbis gathering from across Europe? I would arrest and take names. The odds are that half the sleeper cells in Europe will attend this conference. (Heck, the odds are that half the conference IS sleeper cells)

Justifies a war the Leftists aren't willing to commit to without Congressional approval/credit.

China has already banned Muslims from flying there. Wise move on China's part. In the meantime, back here in the U.S., my schoolteacher friend, an older lady with red hair and blue eyes, has been searched several times while trying to get on a plane from San Francisco to L.A. Go figure.

"Everyone had to get off the plane and one of the Somalians, a guy wearing a red T-shirt, was arrested by the police," Dermeborg later told London's Evening Standard. "They handcuffed him and took him away. We were told by the airport staff he was trying to get a gun on the plane." ... The stunning discovery was made as the gunman passed through a final security checkpoint after other members of the Muslim group had already boarded the plane. The handgun was detected by a security scanner.
It's not clear in the article, but, does it appear as, though the scanner picked out the gun, this guy still made it onto the plane?
Caught in the nick of time by a proven method of detecting terrorists----profiling.
When will the U.S. wake up and do it the right way?

I don't think the guy with the gun made it on the plane. Think after he was stopped, they profiled the ones who were already on the plane. At least thats what i hope happened. Hard to tell from the article.

Yep - just found on CNN.com (OK, OK, sorry, but I wanted confirmation) - he was NOT, repeat, NOT on the plane, yet.
The other terrorist conspirators WERE (my labeling, but, it seems most likely).
