GOP Says Racial, Religious Profiling is the Solution to Terrorism

Not surprisingly the latest attempted, terrorist attack has caused the neo-fascists in the GOP to call for the suspension of the constitution -- but only for people who "look like terrorists."

The Sunday morning talk shows were full of interviews with Republicans who called for profiling Muslims. The only problem with that idea is Al-Queda is a multi-national organization with people from several countries. The terrorist organization includes Africans, Arabs, South Asians and Causians. Let's not forget that John Walker Lindh, the so-called American Taliban, was a suburban white kid, who probably would have sailed through any profiling checks. Al-Quaeda also featured David Locke, an Australian, who looked as white as George Bush.

Racial profiling is a waste of time, but it will make a lot of racists happy -- which is probably the reason why it was suggested by Republicans. The Israelis, who probably have the best counter-terrorism operation in the world, do not rely on racial profiling. The Israelis have learned that terrorists soon figured ways to by pass scrutiny, by hiding bombs in the luggage of the white European girlfriends!
