Help please - faces of middle east...
Need help with rebuttle to horrible repuke email on racial profiling - recently (yesterday?) someone posted a series of photos of faces of people that were non-typical or non-stereotypical of expectation. No idea of subject line or how to search for it - anybody remember or have another source?

(the mail contains 13 examples of crimes by "Muslim extremist males between 17 and 40" and justifies profiling by claiming that as a "pattern" - right - stack the examples and call it a pattern - great wingnut thinking there!)

3. The Aryan ski instructor version of that middle easterner. LOL
I think we can safely say that the real one wouldn't be allowed on a plane and would be unwise to wear a coat in London.

8. Here was my reply
subject: Racial Profiling

The ISSUE deserves serious discussion.

Not the best logic here though, when events are selectively chosen with the same answer to "illustrate" a "pattern" How many (Muslim? by this the author must mean non-white - or will there be religious inquisition as well?) young men between 17 and 40 are there on the planet? How many bombings/shootings/assasinations/kidnappings etc have been committed by white males (Christians, or so they claim, no less)?

By this logic I would recommend we preemptively lock up any white male about to get a divorce - aren't they always going berserk and shooting up innocent folks?

Those are YOUR rights too, that those "dunder-heads" are trying to protect.


Oh and just off the top of my head:

jfk, mlk, weather underground, unibomber, ok city, charles whitman, columbine HS, the IRA, son of sam, john wayne gacy, hitler

then I sent pix from the post I was asking about
