    Nope, ………I really don’t see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure democratic western Christian civilisation never offends anyone – particularly fanatics intent on killing us – airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile (or target) certain people.
    They must only conduct random searches of 80-year-oldwomen, people in wheelchairs, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification,Secret Service agents who are members of the U.S.President’s security detail, 85-year old World War
    II veterans with metal hips, and Boy Scout groups. They must never “target” a turban wearing 17 to 40 year old male who appears to have a suspicious package tied around his body. This would be unjustified discrimination!
    Send this to as many people as you can so that the “do gooders,” Greenies and other misguided fools, including some High Court Judges, who want to thwart common sense feel doubly ashamed of themselves. As Forest Gump (a product of decadent democratic western Christian civilisation) so aptly put it,
    “Stupid is as stupid does!”

    The IRA blew up the Kentucky Fried Chicken in Bangor when I was a kid. Was that a case of friendly fire?

    I posted for your thought & opinions – Guess I got that !! I only posted this to ascertain your thoughts on profiling regardless of who will be profiled. We all post emails that are doing the rounds – I only posted in the privies cos I was worried that muslims between 17 & 40 would take offence 😉 It has nothing to do with what I think personally.

    runs off to blow up a KFC

    sorry, I wasn’t directing that last comment at you. 😕
    They were my thoughts on the email itself, not you posting it. It’s just a one-sided tirade designed to engender hate and we can all do that as I tried to prove with the above post.

    I even thought about editing the post in case you got the wrong idea but went off to smoke a spliff instead 😀

    Its the email that annoys me, and not you! Im sorry if I didnt make that clear – I did read the bit where you said the views werent your own!

    Personally I hate recieving emails like that… or anything where someone elses opinion is forced on you… If you get down to the nitty gritty bits of the email, it could be interpretted as:

    Muslims: bad
    White people: good

    Personally I believe that small things like this can fuel peoples discontent with the muslim population, which in turn widens the cultural gap, which in turn leads to discrimination/segregation of young muslims, which in turn can (in some cases – imho) lead to the atocities we hear about today… minotiry groups (whether they are black/white/male/female/one legged/3 legged or whatever) tend to stick together… and if the minority group is one that hates the way they are treated within society, big problems can arise.

    Emails like this certainly dont solve anything. The people who already believe what the email says will nod their heads in agreement whilst reading it (errr so nothings gained), where as they just piss off the people who dont believe in whats written… so there is no point!

    That is why it makes my bloody boil!

    While that’s a fair enough point Turks, it’s only an idiot who would interpret it that way and idiots will always find ways to hate minority groups regardless of emails.

    What makes my bloody boil is 17-40 year old Muslims who think them being searched is discrimination. Would a white hippy, who is arriving in the UK from Amsterdam be a reasonable candidate for a drugs search? I’m pretty sure people get pissed off at that, but does political correctness inhibit a search there?

    Basically if you take away security’s ability to think for themselves and make searches truely random, you’re just being stupid. That the threat comes from a visibly distinct group is actually a good thing for everyone, and should at the very least be grounds for extra searches on that group. Anyone within that group who gets on their high horse about it is just an oversensitive dickhead with no common sense…..or, of course, they have 10lbs of semtex in their hand luggage.

    I know you know this but the email just highlights the stupidity of political correctness. The source of the problem you mentioned is not the email, it’s just idiots in the general public.

    I do respect the right of people to question the intent of this email, but I feel it’s unfairly targetted as being inflammatory 😉

    But the same has happend in society with black males, and the police (err not the band!)… whilst I admit that a siginificant preportion of crimes are commiteed by young black males, the over seraching of innocent people has led to an anti police culture, which doesnt solve anything.

    Would a white hippy, who is arriving in the UK from Amsterdam be a reasonable candidate for a drugs search? I’m pretty sure people get pissed off at that, but does political correctness inhibit a search there?

    Im not entirely sure that this is a great comparrison. The very nature of a hippy is that they are prone to taking drugs, and would be in Amsterdam for that reason. Does that mean that most Muslims between the ages of 17 to 40 are suicide bombers?

    Just after september 11th a young muslim was taken off a plane for terroris reasons… I can’t remember how old he was, but I believe it was under 5… and then the extremely fundermentalist muslim Yusuf Islam was searched for the same reason… or for singing “father and son” to loud…

    I think it is a very delicate subject, and only/predominatly searching people of a certain appearence has been proven in the past to be highly unporoductive, and alternative methods have to be thought up. Besides who said “80-year-oldwomen, people in wheelchairs, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification,Secret Service agents who are members of the U.S.President’s security detail, 85-year old World WarII veterans with metal hips, and Boy Scout groups” cant be Muslims? Errr I rest my case!!
