We do know who the enemy is. Most of them are a subset of Arab-looking Muslims. Every single 9/11 hijacker was an Arab Muslim. Every suicide single bomber in UK, Spain and Israel was an Arab Muslim.

When a crime occurs and the cops identify a particular color, make and model of a getaway vehicle, do they stop an equal sampling of all vehicles out of fairness or do they stop cars which match the description?

If it was a diverse group of 80-year-old grandmas, 20-year-old blacks, 40-year-old white guys or 30 year old Orientals or 50-year-old Indians attacking us, then I would totally agree with you that the enemy is not so clear cut.

What color were the people who blew up abortion clinics, bombed the olympic games, and bombed the OKC federal building?

It seems odd that if whites become terrorists - no profiling is done. If nonwhites are terrorists, then minorities are effectively guilty until they can prove themselves innocent.

Arabs are NOT the only terrorists.

Arabs are NOT the only terrorists.
But in all of those situations the government agencies involved specifically targeted the white suspects and hunted them down until they were captured. Heck, in the Olympic bombing they knew the suspect was white but they arrested the wrong white guy anyway. I didn't hear any of you people on the Left complain about Richard Jewell's rights being violated.

Ever see how serial killers are profiled? Most of them are white males (heck during the DC sniper shootings the media had practically convicted every white male gun owner in the DC area of the crime). The same thing goes with child molesters.

I know that not all terrorists are Arabs, but the fact remains that most of the terrorists in this world ARE Arabs. It would be stupid for law enforcement and the military to ignore this fact. Maybe when Arabs stop acting like terrorists, people will stop thinking they are terrorists.

And yes, as someone who has the unfortunate luck of being of Arab descent (though I would never ever hyphenate MY nationality), I have every damn right in the world to say this.

Orientals? Did you say Orientals?? Thanks, you've just shown us your colors.

But to answer your "point", just because we know most of the terorrists are middle-eastern doesn't mean we know who they are... unless what you're getting at is we just round up ALL "arabs".

Yes you people, I said Orientals. Should I have said some racist epithets instead? Are you saying I am a racist for using a catch-all term to describe people from the eastern part of Asia? The word "Orientals" to describe people from that region is no more racist than the word "Blacks."

You've shown that you have absolutely no clue how to deal with terrorists and the fact that you are resorting to calling me a racist shows this.

I call a spade a spade. Apparantly you know who the terrorists are - it's the A-Rabs, eh? Apparantly there's no need to distinguish the guilty from the innocent. So yeah, racist.
