<div><em><strong>amglo1</strong> asked: </em></p>

<p>President George Bush said this week, &#8220;America is at war with<br />
Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us<br />
who love freedom, to hurt our nation.&#8221; The Council on<br />
American-Islamic Relations issued an immediate objection to the<br />
President&#8217;s reference to &#8220;Islamic fascists&#8221;. Nihad Awad,<br />
executive director of CAIR protested, &#8220;We have to isolate these<br />
individuals because there is nothing in the Koran or the Islamic<br />
faith that encourages people to be cruel or to be vicious or to<br />
be criminal. Muslims world wide know that for sure.&#8221; In light of<br />
this objection, we are left to ponder why every Islamic leader in<br />
the U.S., and the world, does not publicly condemn every terror<br />
action being undertaken in the name of the god of Islam. Their<br />
silence is deafening&#8230;</p>
<p>Between 1970 and present, there were more than 60 other notable<br />
examples of terrorism perpetrated by Middle Eastern male<br />
Islamists between the ages 17 and 40, but we think you get the<br />
point. Singling out &#8220;Middle Eastern male Islamists between the<br />
ages 17 and 40&#8243; is not &#8220;ethnic profiling,&#8221; it&#8217;s &#8220;terrorist<br />
profiling&#8221; &#8212; acting on prolific evidence.</p>
<p>Anyone for Terrorist Profiling?</p>
