Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, February 16, 2010

As a liberal with strong feelings about civil liberties for all people in my country, I generally have a knee jerk reaction against the use of profiling as a tool for crime prevention. Too often it seems it has been used to harass specific groups of people. The classic example being the cop who pulls a car over late at night in a quiet suburb simply because the driver was guilty of DWB - Driving While Black. The poisonous effects of racism and unwarranted suspicion of a certain group of people always seemed to outweigh the potential law enforcement benefit that occasionally (though rarely) resulted from such invidious tactics.

My thoughts on this matter would be very different if over the years we saw a waning of intended Muslim terrorist activity. But that just has not been the case.

Sadly, I agree.

Even a so-called educated Muslim like our own Tosser has no condemnation for acts of terror which kill Americans.

You are making enough noise for the both of us, so no need for me to bother.

Besides, if al-Qaeda is after Americans, just HOW is that MY problem???

You must have done something to make them come after you... instead of crying about it, go finish your stupid job in Afghanistan.... if you can. (though you haven't been able to do shit in 9 years)

This is between them and you and nobody else. Keep the rest of us out of it, thanks.

It is as if to most mainstream Muslims, we non-Muslims are a lesser form of human.

Truth be told, I do consider you a cockroach, you being a lawyer.

Your contempt for non-Muslims is emblematic of Islamic thought in general. Funny thing is, you don't even try to hide it.

This is bullshit the facts should never ever be used to form a hypothesis , all Facts should be discarded into a big black hole so nobody cries and whines like little bitches
Instead of looking at any group who regularly commits acts of terrorism why not look at ESKIMOS instead.

Atax: Not to be thick or anthing... But I take it you do favor domestic profiling of Muslims to prevent terror attacks?

It's those damn ESKIMOS we should be looking at, this way the real terrorist are not offended...

Your contempt for non-Muslims

I love Buddhist Chinese. They are brothers.

It's YOU that is something of a problem.

Westerners? Americans? White People? Christians? Who do you mean Tosser?

I don't think profiling would work, I just want to hear the ESKIMOS have been singled out for the body cavity searches who knows what the TSA would find...


Do you REALLY want to know the provenance of that "Eskimoe Pie" you're eating?

#12 | Posted by moder8

Good point and the Eskimoe Pie might just be part of an intricate plot to blow something up. I know if you drink beer with them it will make you shit for a week...

They eat rotten fish heads. I saw it on a TV show once. If that doesn't make you shit, nothing will

That would apply equally of the contempt Zionists have for Muslims. They've been natural enemies since the end of WWII.

Well I saw it in person on a flight to Pock E Stan , the Eskimo sitting right beside me kept rubbing his crotch while wearing a towel thing on his head then he pulled out a sandwich with a tail hanging out on one side and a fish head on the other. He had to be some kind of terrorist so I reported him to the flight attendant, she said no he was just gross but not a threat to National Security...

"your contempt for non-Muslims is emblematic of Islamic thought in general"

What. I have contempt for non Muslims?

Care to prove this cause otherwise you already have a fifty percent wrong statement.

There are Pakistanis that look ethnically similar to Eskimos.

What's your point taxliar

Moder8 - Muslims come in all shades - profiling them would be difficult at best unless they were in full muslim regalia, IMHB.

"your contempt for non-Muslims is emblematic of Islamic thought in general"

Kliff is one of the more moderate muslims I have met (if blogging can be considered "meeting" someone). Though I don't always agree with him, I've never heard him utter anything I'd consider "Islamic radicalism".

Moder8 - Muslims come in all shades - profiling them would be difficult...

LOL. I didn't realize I was quoting moder-h8, (I didn't bother to scroll up and see the original quote) but it makes sense. Moder-h8 also proudly admits he despises people for no other reason than who they vote for. I've rarely met a person so full of irrational hatred as moder-h8. I pity him.

#21: WTF? or maybe LOL?

Should DOMESTIC American Law Enforcement be engaging in Profiling of Muslim as a tool of terror prevention

No. The fake war on terror campaign would love that for its police state takeover. Profile a few "undesirables" today, then it is much easier to profile you next.

#20 | Posted by goatman - he once told me "they" are coming for our daughters.

goat.

we don't agree on everything

but we agree on space.

And really, thats all that matters :)

i'm all for behavioral profiling.

The final frontier. It's true.

"i'm all for behavioral profiling."

Religious observance is a behavior.

I personally find it very odd that people freak out over being searched by the TSA anyway. It takes ten seconds to a couple of minutes unless you're an ass about it. Even before 9/11 I remember a guy at an airport being very apologetic that he had to stop me to look at my laptop and I just thanked him for doing his job. Given what can happen if the wrong person is allowed on a plane, you have to be a real self important asshole to think 30 extra seconds of inconvenience on your part is a major issue.


It's because it doesn't take ten seconds to a couple of minutes. It's standing in line for forty minutes for the ten seconds, for what is ultimately a total waste of time. We can't take shampoo or toothpaste in carryons unless it's only enough to last two days. Random swabbing and searching is just an insult to the people who are randomly pulled out of line. And in the end, we're ultimately on our own anyhow. I'd rather do away with the pretense, and be allowed to carry a small knife or a club on the plane. The only good news on 9/11 was the passengers on Flight 93 who took matters into their own hands. Thanks to the TSA, we can't even do that.

"Religious observance is a behavior."

really..
if you met me in public... how would you know i'm muslim?

please enlighten me.

Ideally Muslim women and men would profile themselves. The men would wear beards and the women would wear their hijabs.

Mary mother of Jesus is depicted wearing a hijab-- she must've been oppressed by Joseph.

General Ulysses S Grant was responsible for the deaths of many many americans and wore a beard, but he was an American hero...

So was Teddy Roosevelt, who charged up San Juan Hill agains the formidable, ahem, Spanish infantry, and didn't have an asthma attack, or if he did, no one reported it.

Bush didn't have a hill like San Juan so he landed on an aircraft carrier instead. Later on he filmed himself twirling a lightsaber...

Profiling Jews helped the germans win WWII. Yeah, I know all of you say, "idiot the Germans didn't win WWII, but I say, "give them more time"

I think profiling muslims is a swell idea. I think so because they profiled us first-- guys like Bin Laden profiled the average American and rationalized us as guilty as our politicians which in turn gave them the reasoning to kill us as revenge when our politicians did something really lame like overthrowing their governments and setting up puppet dictators who kill and oppress them. So, if they can do it, why can't we?

And BTW Klifferd, I can profile you at the drop of the hat. I can walk by you and tell if you're muslim. You say I can't but oh, I can.

You see, I'm a jedi. Being a jedi had much more clout a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, and quite frankly, our power has been somewhat diminished over the last 33 years, but still, we can detect muslims simply by walking by them and using a simple trick learned as a four year old youngling, only knee-high to a jawa--

what's the trick you ask?

mind control.

I say, "asaalmualaikoumrahmatulahibar a
katou" and if you scowl, I have successfully controlled your mind.

If you don't, why them, you are a muslim.
