Evidently I need to polish my writing skills so that some of you better understand what I am trying to convey. My apologies. My point, which included the Viet Nam analogy, was that we cannot focus on ONE group. It would be silly and extremely short-sighted to do so. During the Viet Nam war, women and children were used BECAUSE they DID NOT fit the profile. That was my reason for including that particular point. The fact that all the incidents mentioned in the obviously satirical quiz were committed by one specific group would only indicate that there is more than enough reason to look at that particular group as potential killers. Yes, McVeigh was white as were hundreds of thousands of other criminals throughout the ages. In no way am I suggesting that whites, blacks, hispanics, germans or any other race has lived on earth without guilt. However, there is no evidence that any of the above have engaged in systematic attacks on innocent people RECENTLY to the same degree that the radical muslims have. This is an organized effort to accomplish a single goal. I doubt that there was any connection between Timothy McVeigh, Lee Harvey Oswald, the white cops that beat up Rodney King, et al. These were random acts, albeit perhaps spurred on by the same ideals, unconnected with one another. You can live with your head in the sand and make apologies for the radical muslims if you like. Certainly they represent only a minute fraction of muslims worldwide. I have not heard anybody denounce ALL middle eastern people of whatever religious bent. Just as you mention Skinheads, the Aryan brotherhood, KKK, whatever - they represent an organized (somewhat) effort by a group to accomplish a goal. The radical muslims are no different. I never intimated that white males or females should not be profiled simply because they are white. Re-read my entire post rather than selectively taking words out of context and show me where I have deviated from this tenet. And suggesting that those of us with different viewpoints lack intelligence is perhaps one of the most immature responses that I have ever heard from an educated adult. Are those of us with divergent viewpoints lacking intelligence because we are ignorant, misunderstand facts. or simply hold an opinion that differs?
