religion, attacks, profiling

My brother-in-law and I were talking and he mentioned profiling. I concured that, as far I know, I don't think there were Episcapalian Jihadists or Later-Day-Saints Matyrs or even Menonite Revolutionaries that ravaged areas in the name of God. No ... no, indeed I think the larger number of so-named terrorist attacks have been faction or non-declared faction groups of the Islamic religion, Muslims by category. So, when Muslims are targeted, they spout off about proiling. Yes, gee ... I wonder why. How many, to date, Iraqi and Iranian jetliners has the US hijacked? How many has the US shot down with a stinger missiles? How many times has the US launched attacks while standing in groups of citizens or on tops of hospitals?

Hmm ... profiling. Yep, works for me.

In the US, you find some lone white guy in a Black area ... up to no good, well, what one of these things is not like the other? Thanks Sesame Street, I think I got it. The one standing out might be the one I want.

Black neighborhood, liquor store robbed by ... yep, you guessed it, someone who is Black. Is that profiling or is that a reasonable deduction? Man evades police, exceeding speed limit and drives recklessly. He claims racial profiling, but why did he evade police at the start?

Men In Black, wades through line of illegal immigrants and Tommy Lee Jones spits out typical Spanish phrases, but stops at one, large, overly dressed man. He asks questions, but the supsect is unresponsible (Donda es? Si.) Is that racial profiling or good police work?

This isn't denying the sad case of "Driving While Black", but rather that the loudmouths generally overstate their case ... "they got him 'cause he Black". The poor grammar notwithstanding, the suspect might very well have been chosen because he was a reasonable guess given little data. Black male driving common car in area, of average build and no distinguishing marks.

So ... he looks like everyone else, generally. He'll be easy to find (sarcastically expressed). When we find a young Black man meeting "average", don't go ape *@$# on us, okay? If you know more info ... God willing, give more detail. Don't believe strongly that he's XYZ's second cousin and note only ... "some young guy looking average build, height, weight, no marks". If this XYZ's second cousin was out of town -- he's off the reasonable suspect list and the list can therefore be narrowed.
