Topic: Racial Profiling

[Hannahbal]

Until September 11th, the Oklahoma City bombing was the biggest committed act of terrorism in the world. And it was done by a white man. Did white men get thoroughly searched after this? I don't think so. So I don't think that we should search every middle eastern just because of this.

I was wondering if anyone was going to say anything about that incident.  The main differences between the two, is that it was done by '"A" white man'.  When these most recent attacks occured, they were commited by a GROUP of Muslims, and an organization controlled this group.  That means, we don't know how many of these Muslim Extremists there are, and we don't know their capabilities, when with the Oklahoma Bombing, it was just one person.

Actually, I believe it was two, but I am not exactly sure.

Actually, a man named Terry Nichols was involved, as were a few others. But Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were the main people.

Oh gosh, if anyone knows about racial profiling.. its me. Hey! I'm the whitest black person ever! Get it?

I keep myself safe by not F'ing around with other countries.

I also brush my teeth every day and look both ways when crossing the street.

Dude, this is a racist topic. Just cause one guy bombed in london, dosent mean that everyone of the same faith are gonna bomb something here! Theres just as much chance that another person will have a bomb!

Oh yeah, and there is nothing wrong with gays! I myself am not gay, but there is nothing wrong with them.

Racial Profiling is a way of life... yes it is mean... but be real for a second. When the government is looking for illegal immigrant who are often the suspects? Mexicans of course. Why? Because THEY are the majority of illegal immigrants in America. Unfortunately most of the terrorists HAVE been Islamic. It may sound mean but it is more common sense then anything. When you think of gangs what race do you think of? Black people of course. Mafia? The Italians. When you think of trailers what race do you affiliate with living in them? White people. Racial profiling is based on standard facts and evidence... I mean come on. What are the chances a 90 year old white lady is a terrorist?

Racism and racial profiling are different. Racism are unbased biases and judgements, whereas racial profiling are fact based evidence that a certain group of people behave and live a certain way. It is unfair but without it how would we catch all of these criminals, and terrorists? it would be just a wild man hunt. Racial profiling is unfortunate but necessary.

This has NOTHING to do with homosexuality... in fact, you are letting your personal feelings get in the way... I suggest you either grow up or leave this thread immediatly. You're whining is getting quite irritating. And by saying there is as much of a chance someone else would have a bomb, you are saying that there is the same chance an Islamic terrorist and a elderly, crippled women would have a bomb.

Interesting theory there

dude, that's true, but the islams, sorry if any are here, (probably not you anyway), they only want their religion and that's it! They want to be the only religion on earth!

You are thinking about the muslim extremists... Islamic is branched off of Christianity.

[Lil Loco]

Not really...Christianity iz based off the Bible...Islam iz based off the Quran.
Both faithz disagree with each other.

The only real connection iz that the man who started the Muslim faith waz a decendant of Abraham, a follower of God.

Like i say if we get hit again, the American people will demand it.

The 2 relgions are very closly related. Jeus is mentioned in the Quran, but he's just a propht. And they share many of the same storys. Islam is based off of chirstanity.

[Lil Loco]

All of christianity iz based off the believe that Jesus iz the son of God and the saviour of man.  The muslimz may mention him, but they have an entirely different view on him...and dont believe wut christianity or the bible haz to say.

A bit paranoid aren't we, Mikey? We haven't been attacked since 9/11... since then we have not been attacked in the United States at all.

They're from the same tree.  Christainity is based off of Judaism. Same with Islam.

[Lil Loco]

Yea Christianity and Judaism are related cuz they share sum beliefz...Before Christ there were the followers of God which waz Judaism...Christianity spawned after Christ died and roze again...Christianity teachez that Jesus died for the sinz of man and through Him they can be saved...Sum followerz of the Judaist faith didnt believe that and stuck to their old traditionz...Thatz where Christianz and Jewz differ.  But they both believe in the old testament and are linked to each other.

Islam on the other hand, doeznt share similar teachingz and disagreez which both the Christian and Jewish faith.  So if it iz "from the same tree"...it fell far from the other two.

Alright...

Racial profiling is sick and wrong and it does NOT work. First off the fact that you search maybe only 1 out of 50 guys lets 49 guys get away, and how do you know the guy you didn't search has weapons, and plus it's just a racist thing to do, also, just because someone is not of Middle Eastern descent doesn't mean they aren't Muslim, look at all the Muslim blacks, and people convert religions, and heck, what if a person wants to bomb something cause' they don't like it and they've got mental issues, NOT because they are Muslim, in fact, that person could come across like your average everyday middle of the road white guy. Thats why racial profiling doesn't work, and it's just wrong.
