I thought this was long overdue, and I would like to hear from Brits on this. BTW, great odds on GazeboflossUK to chime in with the usual govt. comment...

Its an unfair stereotype, but it has a point. Young asian muslims do get brainwashed into being sucide bombers.

 

Old grannies dont.

 

There will be a fuss, quite rightly so but one wonders what if white hetrosexual males were singled out for something? That would probably be ok.

You'd be surprised about the number of IRA bombing carried out in the UK during the eighties and nineties that weren't carried out by young brain-washed Muslims

Just brainwashed Irish.

I know, but their aim wasnt to slaugther as many people as possible.

The Locherbie bombing, which I understand was the last successful terrorist airplane bombing thing wasn't carried out by a brainwashed British Muslim

No, but 7/7 was, and remember what happened two weeks later. There were also two british suicide bombers who went over to israel and one of them killed some people (dont know how many) and the other one failed miserably thank god.

this is going to make those targeted in searches feel even more isolated and increase problems in the long run i think. but you can see the logic behind it. more focus should be put on why some of them want to blow us up in the first place, especially if they were born and raised here.

7/7 wasn't on airplanes, it was on the underground and buses, are you suggesting that the police use profiling on all bus and train passengers?

 

What happened two weeks later was a foiled plot, whatever the authorities were doing at the time was sufficent.

 

And the two British suicide bombers in Israel suggests that the Israeli government should use profiling, rather than the British and that should be profiling foreign nationals from 'friendly' nations.

 

This just gives the impression of overwealming paranoia.

...but you can see the logic behind it...

Maybe I'm biased, but I don't see any logic behind it

just the bit about not stopping grannies etc, i just meant one could see where they were coming from, i wasn't agreeing with it or disagreeing with it

It means that now all the 'terrorists' need to do is get old ladies to carry their bombs for them.

you raise a good point

Just brainwashed Irish.

 

With funding from the americans :veryangry:

Bingo!

what do I win?

Teaching us all to be their slaves.

 

It's been happening for a long time in the US.....kids being made to take of their clothes etc....

 

There was a report of a 12 year old boy being a problem today wasn't there.....

 

It's stupid.
