This is a troll but I'll bite:

It just so happens that most of the third world contries that we've completely
economically destroyed and that hate us are predominately Muslim. So you have
three exacerbating circumstances:

1. Muslims extremists see themselves as the victums of an 'attack on Muslim
sovreighty' which is arguably acurate.

2. We continue to perpetrate the supporting evidence for point 1 due to the
persuit of oil.

3. The age old conflict between religions.

And as many good journalists have pointed out, Muslim Extremists constitute on a
small percentage of the Muslim world view. However, as our foreign policies
contintue to exacerbate an already bad situation, it makes it much easier for
the rehetoric of these groups to appeal a deperate and impovershed population.
(Persicely why people danced in the streets on Sep. 11)

Every religion has it's psychos as I'm sure you're well aquainted with.

What is particularly distubing about this form of racism/profiling is where
people are discrimintated again because they are simply dark skinned. Many
victums of this have been Mexican Americans or Indian Americans or people of
second or third generation Arabian heritage. (Discrimination against Arabian is
also un-ethical.)

So, long story short: don't make a bad situation worse by demonizing a race for
it's 'percieved' beliefs. It was this attitude that gave rise to the Natzi
regime in Germany after WWI. President Wilson's propaganda war let the Tripple
Entente (France, Britan and America) on a crusade to crush the German people.
They subsequently imposed imposible economic hardship on the German which gave
Hitler the desperate population he needed to support a Demigog.

(Yes, I just mentioned the Natzi's so that officially kills this thread.)
