Woman Profiled on 9/11

[macaroni tony]

Just depends on how tired I am come Sunday. Generally, I gotta be in bed by 10 or so if I intend to wake up for work the next day

Though a possible beer just may be the extra incentive needed. That, and the bartender...

 

[macaroni tony]

Matticus, you will know if I show up. You can use profiling to reach a proper conclusion. I am pretty much guaranteed to be the only black guy there.

There. I gave you guys a segway back to the topic at hand. As you were...

You want him to profile you?

 

[macaroni tony]

Wouldn't bother me. I'm used to it by now

 

[MatticusMania]

lol, I'll know when the chocolate pelican arrives!

 

[Jon_West]

I don't mean to sound racist, but if I was traveling on a plane of the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 and I saw two Middle-Eastern men using the bathroom in succession, I would be a little uneasy too.

They we're Indian, not Middle Eastern. But I guess they're all the same to you, eh?

 

[cassanova]

I didn't read through all 8 pages of this, but why didn't the Air Marshall on the flight address the "problem?" Isn't it their job to pay attention to any suspicious activity that's going on during the flight?

I read the original article/blog, but don't remember whether or not it mentioned an Air Marshal on board. Not all flights have one on board. It's random. You never know unless you're the flight crew, or if they see a need to identify themselves.

 

[jmattbassplaya]

That's right. Ask the question that will make him sound like a racist no matter his answer. That will definitely help discussion sooooooooo much

To the People keep stating this. What are the physical characteristics and differences between an Indian Hindu, Christian or Buddhist and a Pakistani or Indian Muslim?

 

[Chebass88]

That sounds like a fun game - post a photo, and let TB judge what religion / political affiliation they have.

True. Identifying them would basically be putting a "Terrorists: kill me first" sign over their heads.

To the People keep stating this. What are the physical characteristics and differences between an Indian Hindu, Christian or Buddhist and a Pakistani or Indian Muslim?

I don't think the question had anything to do with religious affiliation, but nationality.

This brings up an interesting point; now to me, Indians don't look anything like the people from Arab countries. But that may have a lot to do with where I grew up and the people I encounter daily. What about everyone else? Do Indians look like Pakistanis, Iranians and the like?

Indians and Pakistanis are basically the same people ethnically. The only reason the two countries were divided up is the Hindu's and the Muslims didn't get along. And India still has a large muslim minority. Iranians are Persians and different ethnically from both Arabs and Indians.

My point is the fact that the two men were from India would not prevent them from being Muslim extremists, if anything I suspect Pakistan by percentage has the highest population of extremist Muslims on the planet.

My guess is dark skin, exotic look and foreign accent prompted the reporting passenger to say something. That and their spending a long time in the restroom. I flew from San Diego to Detroit recently, and there were plenty of people fitting that description on the plane. I choose not to sweat it, unless someone tries to hijack the plane.

 

[warnergt]

Well, let's see.

Muslim terrorist attacks:
9/11
DC sniper

Let's count the white terrorist attacks:

Oklahoma City Alfred P. Murrah Building
Unabomber
"Smiley face" bomber
Branch Davidian compound (not technically an attack, but they were terrorists in the making)
Dozens of abortion clinic bombings by Pro-Lifers
Olympic Park bombing @ Atlanta Olympics
Columbine High School

Can't think of any more ATM and i'm too lazy to google. So far I think the white Christians are "winning".

Far from it.

If someone tries to jack my plane I'd go kung fu all up in that. Newspapers wouldn't read "Plane hijacked by terrorists" It'd be "Terrorism hijacked by boy".

Try to hijack me son.

Also a cool idea for Soul Plane two.

 

[Tegzsa]

Far from it.
Let's count the Muslim attacks for just the last month:

To be honest, I had lost interest in this. But then I Googled the first line in your list and was horrified by the content of the website that it came from. I have no religious beliefs, and no desire to defend any now - but that site is an example of distilled hatred aimed at 1.5bn people, most of whom are clearly just trying to get on with their lives. Its tone is in no way different to the "American Imperialist/Christian Crusader" sites of the other side with its monumental levels of bigotry, hatred and ignorance.

Now, you may say: "yes it's a terrible website, but you can't argue with the numbers."

No, you can't. Here, have some more (unlike your list, which trawled the world, different countries and issues for "Muslims" to lump together, here the numbers are limited to one group and one theatre):

Civilian Victims of United States' Aerial Bombing of Afghanistan

Claiming the moral high ground is so very difficult these days, isn't it?

 

[jmattbassplaya]

Wow. I never thought I'd see the day I found the more ****** ****** ******* to be the guys who claim to be the most ***** on TB.

 

[Munjibunga]

Wow. I never thought I'd see the day I found the more ****** ****** ******* to be the guys who claim to be the most ***** on TB.

Insightful.
