@shaf, you can't help yourself can you? If it doesn't match your opinion , it is silly.
@Zubber, this topic was started to make me see the error of my ways. It's reinforced them if anything.

As for my humour going over over your head, all that I can say is next time I shall try to aim a little lower.
And yes, when I said Saudia, I meant the Saudis indeed. I am impressed, I have to admit, with the depth of your wit.
As for BM, yes, I think you are right, she will soon be here to defend the indefensible......with more verbiage.
Peace!

(Stack said in his suicide note that he wanted to increase the body count, and he targeted civilians - ergo he's a suicide bomber terrorist who happens to be white, American and non-Muslim).
But hey - I totally get you guys. Why let facts/evidence get in the way of 'beliefs'?

Nothing changes unless there is a body count (unless it is in the interest of the wealthy sows at the government trough). In a government full of hypocrites from top to bottom, life is as cheap as their lies and their self-serving laws.
I know I’m hardly the first one to decide I have had all I can stand. It has always been a myth that people have stopped dying for their freedom in this country, and it isn’t limited to the blacks, and poor immigrants. I know there have been countless before me and there are sure to be as many after. But I also know that by not adding my body to the count, I insure nothing will change. I choose to not keep looking over my shoulder at “big brother” while he strips my carcass, I choose not to ignore what is going on all around me, I choose not to pretend that business as usual won’t continue; I have just had enough.
I can only hope that the numbers quickly get too big to be white washed and ignored that the American zombies wake up and revolt; it will take nothing less. I would only hope that by striking a nerve that stimulates the inevitable double standard, knee-jerk government reaction that results in more stupid draconian restrictions people wake up and begin to see the pompous political thugs and their mindless minions for what they are. Sadly, though I spent my entire life trying to believe it wasn’t so, but violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer.
I particularly like the logic of comparing the worst act in one group against the most benign act in another group. And then the gall to say that the quoting of statistical facts is somehow dishonest! You've got to admire the chutzpah!
But some people are convinced that they are right to advocate singling out Muslims - despite the evidence and logic. That is silly.
Sure - we can analyse to death the 0.4% of terrorist acts committed by Muslims and compare them with the 99.6% of terrorist acts committed by non-Muslims. I've no problem with that.
I just hope that we're not being silly and believing the hype. Look what happened when you guys believed there were WMD in Iraq.
Believing the hype also means that agencies manufacture threats - just look at all the cases of entrapment.
As I said in the previous post - I totally agree that there is nothing wrong in tackling the 0.4% of terrorist acts, we should seek to eliminate all forms of terrorism. I'm just pointing out that it would be silly to single out these guys and spend relatively less time on the 99.6%.
the majority of the 0.4% terrorists who are Muslim are indeed numpties with little training. We should be glad they are not as competent as say Tim McVeigh.

And Ms BM: I agree with you about 'Fornication'. Lets just say: fornicate the BNP and all its followers; though I have to admit, the Muslims fornicate a lot more, like rabbits, and you see the little products of their fornication all over the place.
I would say, educate more, fornicate less. Both for the BNP as well as the Muslims.
I hope that was all on topic?
Peace!

What I am saying is that there is a solution that works, either you take it and save lives, or you dont and people die and in between everybody get un necessarily strip searched.
The solution is profiling, which is a politically correct term for singling out Muslims, the most likely bombers.
So far you have failed to give me one name of a suicide attack on a commercial airliner who was not an Islamist.
(the majority of these acts are by incompetent numpties - such as the shoe and underpants bombers).
the FBI is involved in entrapment of Muslims and therefore those 'successes' are artificial.
When we look beyond the hype and the exaggeration, we do find that focusing on the 0.4% of cases and making out that this is the major problem, does appear silly.
You might as well profile eskimos who target cruise ships - and then make up a story about how successful you are because there have been no successful attacks on cruise ships.
you need to IGNORE the stats and evidence to justify profiling Muslims, rather than profiling terrorists in general or young dis-affected youth such as McVeigh and say the Columbine school killers.

No one is saying that Singling out muslims can't be justified in people's minds - we're just point out that it is silly.

A lot of Americans would agree with you - many still refuse to rename their Freedom Fries!
But seriously, let us know whether the 72 were suspended or not or whether this is yet another example of why it is silly to single out people based on religion.
