There was an article in USA Today about heavier screening for certain countries of origin.

Why does it matter if a plane blows up over American airspace vs. over someone else’s airspace? It shouldn’t matter. Which is why keeping people in their seats 1 hr before the plane lands makes no sense at all.

That’s not fair, I think I’ve shown throughout my posts and comments that I am respectful even when I vehemently disagree. In this case I don’t vehemently disagree but maybe I deffer on the semantics.

I will leave it at that as it seems this is starting to get off-topic but I will save this for a future post and renmiked I will invite you there to make a response for you to show your side in a respectful way if you so choose.

Many people of Muslim descent have said that terrorists did not just hijack airplanes but hijacked their religion. This is actually an intreasting debate that I am very passionate about so I will save the rest of my views for a future post but to say that there is no Muslim outrage towards people who use religion as an excuse for murder is just arrogant and naive. There is alot of outrage despite what Fox News may say.

If I were African I would be very leery of Christians who have done so much harm to the continent from lying about the safety of condoms to prevent AIDS to the imperialism of the past. My only issue is the Muslim community not standing up to clerics who promote murder of innocent people. Just as I wouldn’t let a Catholic priest alone with my child I would have strong concerns about anyone who has ties to radical clerics. I consider myself pretty objective and don’t think that every person of Middle Eastern descent is a terrorist. All I would really like to see is the same level of anger toward murderers as there is toward cartoonists.

Ok so from now on let’s not allow Christians to enter the continents of Africa and Asia as they have been known to steal and plunder from those lands. No let’s not do that, I thought we were all passed that. And renmiked you have disappointed me after reading your blog I thought you were a rationally thinking person, apparently I was wrong.

@Michael Kirschner
I disagree, it has to do with a belief system not race. Indian Muslims were responsible for the Mumbai attacks not Sihks or Hindus. Radical Muslims come in all colors as we have seen from N Africa, Central and South Asia, Indonesia, Europe and America. It has absolutely nothing to do with skin color but with a religion that has a large violent radical side. This is not the same as an African American being stopped for walking in a “white” neighborhood. People choose their ideology not their race or sex.

Michael that is no excuse for racism, and it is racism if you judge a person based on what they look like before you know them that is racism. Statistics to agree with you or not judging based on race is the definition of racism
