Profiling

Women wearing traditional Muslim headscarves are “singled out” for extra scrutiny in airports, and they wonder why. They call it “obvious profiling,” and they’re right. But what SHOULD we do when Muslims (not all of them, I know) are murdering us all over the world because we don’t believe the same as they do. Ignore them? No; we profile them and subject them to extra scrutiny. Anything less would be STUPID. And we’re not stupid, as extremist Muslims seem to think we are. Yes, profiling for profiling’s sake alone and subjecting people to extra scrutiny because of things like race and even religion is wrong—except that when we are being attacked by a certain group, we have to keep an extra eye on members of that group, innocent or not. That’s how we find the guilty and stop the killing. (Just common sense)
