Terrorist Profiling

I continue to see and hear a lot a hulabula about young male Muslims of Middle Eastern origins. Supposedly this group and only this group should be targeted for terrorism profiling. At least that's a lot of what seems to cross my path.

Let's be fair. The second largest terrorist attack to happen on U.S. soil was in Oklahoma City. The young man who was put to death for this crime was Irish-Catholic and former U.S. Millitary.

The guy credited with the assasination of JFK was white and former millitary.

Remember the bombing spree where some young white guy thought it would be fun to stick bombs in people's mailboxes in hopes that the resulting explosions would leave a smiley face if mapped from above?

What about the SLA?

A little Helter Skelter in the California suburbs?

Columbine?

Sorry folks. Your pleas for racially based profiling fall on deaf ears here.
