It's always interesting when dumb people try to play history. Take bahu, for instance, who now considers the Spanish to be Anglo-Saxons based on his test and thought that Hitler was a Christian.
The point of the original thread is spot on. World-wide terrorism is disproportionately commited by young muslim males typically from the middle east. It certainly makes sense to profile them.
But that's really not what I've enjoyed the most of this thread. What I've enjoyed is the intellectual bankruptcy of the left we've seen here.
We've got Myrrander who responds to an article that advocates focusing on young muslim males by arguing that the US has done bad things. I assume that his point is that we shouldn't profile because we're bad guys and deserve to be exterminated. Way to go.
Then we get the rocket scientist who apparently knows nothing about history but is willing to demonstrate it for all to see by claiming that the Hitler and his cronies were Christians and that the Spanish were anglo-saxons. Even the My Lai one is wrong. All we know about that is that American soldiers were involved. The left is always claiming that African Americans were disproportionately represented in Vietnam.
The bottom line is, AS AMERICANS if we want to effectively decrease terrorism within the United States we need to keep a close eye on young male Muslims, usually from the Middle East. Then perhaps we wouldn't have to subject little old ladies to a near strip search to get through airport security.
