    In this country, Muslims commit very few terror acts.

    The white Muslims aren't meaningfully profiled, because they don't "look" Muslim. Which is why profiling based on appearance is necessarily based on stereotypes, which ends up being racial more often than not. And thus racist.

    We don't profile anything like Israel, and we haven't had an airplane incident in 18 years. You were saying?

    And excessive fear destroys free societies. I choose to not live in fear, and to keep my freedom.

    Not all snakes are poisonous, but I still keep an eye on them. You never know.

    Why don't you list those Muslim terrorist attacks that have taken place in the US this year?

    Since 2000, 65% of US terror attacks have been by Muslims, impressive considering they are 1.2% of the population.

    If you were given a bowl of 500 jelly beans, and knew one was poisoned and would kill you, how many would you take?

    Bunk, see post #30.

    You don't know that, I believe Israel profiles all Muslims. Again, what race is Islam?

    You're ignoring the shoebomber, and 9/11. Neither would have happened in Israel.

    No, PC, stupidity and blindness destroy free societies.

    I'm not hiding anything, they can question me all they want.

    Muslims here are always complaining about minority rights. In Islamic nations, there ARE no minority rights.

    Demonstrating that countries aren’t people, and neither are jelly beans.

    By your logic we should shut down all immigration and jail the ones that are already here, lest one of them turn out to be a bad person.

    Are you a fan of Stalin, perchance? He believed in group guilt and guilt by association, too.

    Or are you just really bad at math?

    We concealed carry permit holders commit crime at a rate lower than the police do, try again.

    But you do profile gun carriers, make laws against carrying guns, make laws banning certain guns, prevent certain people from having guns and you make damn sure people with guns don't get on planes.

    And I like how you qualify your question about how many people have been killed by Muslim terrorists in the US this year. Since you guys are globalists and want to flood this country with illegals and Muslims, take a look at what your future holds:

    In 2018 there were 1985 Islamic attacks in 55 countries, in which 11783 people were killed and 11490 injured

    But you keep whining, shaking and running scared because you think you saw a white nationalist.

    So why don't you answer the question asked instead of running away from it. Give a list of terror attacks this year, you know 2019, that have occurred in the US?

    Many many more people have been killed by guns than have been killed by Muslims, try again

    According to your own link, there hasn’t been a meaningful attack linked to Muslim extremists in the last two years — during which time white men and Trump supporters killed 35 people.

    And the one Muslim-related attack in 2017 was by a permanent resident who had lived in the U.S. for 8 years, and self-radicalized on the Internet. No religious profiling at airports was going to stop him. He killed eight people; that same year, white terrorists killed 7 people in multiple incidents.

    So these days, I’d say it’s clear that angry white men pose a bigger threat to us than Muslims.

    Here in America mass shootings by white and black guys kill far, far more than Muslim terrorist shootings.

    Lol...isn't there a thread around here where a school cancelled a football game because they thought ONE guy who is linked to a particular group might show up?

    The thread is about Muslims and how people are a bit nervous about their history of bad habits.

    Ignoring the stereotyping and profiling, we can look at the fact that they were scanned by the TSA, and most likely more closely than other people. I'd be more concerned with the drunk that gets aggressive. I think the pilots should be evaluated.

    There is indeed. :) That said, “person linked to group with violent history says he’s coming to town because of your disciplining of your cheerleaders” isn’t exactly profiling.

    So an irrational fear of one group when a much greater threat is from a different group

    And let’s just note that, given the scale of the problem, the fear would be irrational even if we didn’t have to worry about angry white men.

    If you wake up in the morning worried that a terrorist is going to get you, you’re either really bad at math or you’re scared of everything that moves.

    The threat posed by terrorists — or angry white men, for that matter — doesn’t justify abridging civil liberties or dismantling the tolerance that is a necessary part of a free democratic society.
