Dadler – The problem is that the radical Moslems do not want to have a discussion. Simply put, they do not want to obey secular western laws, and want us to obey Islamic laws. You are looking at an enemy that is aggressive, well financed and require a response that includes containment at the least, war at the most. kth – And all of the actions you described were condemned by US society as a whole and received attention from the US criminal justice system. Your straw man doesn’t walk. PIL writes: 90% of those cases were done in the ME. No, that is not correct. In fact, it is not even close. If you can, read the post and the locations and try again. I recommend you have world atlas nearby as you do the exercise. However, 100% of them were by Moslem terrorists. Al – Actually, I think none of the attacks were motivated by “religion.” But all the attackers were members of the same religion, and all were influenced by radical “religious leaders” calling for jihads and fatwahs.
“Nor would it have prevented any of the other attacks you mention. The net is simply too wide.”
I think a strong case could be made for the 9/11 attacks being prevented if profiling had been in place in the Boston airport. And especially if the FBI hadn’t been so politically correct that they ignored all kinds of warning signs. BTW - Profiling does not depend entirely on appearance. c-law – It wouldn’t have happened if the man had not ran when told to stop. It appears that he was in England illegally and fled because of that. Classic case of “I fought the law and the law won.” roy – True, profiling by itself won’t do the trick. It is merely one tool.
