At this point, I wonder who should and could take the first step towards more normal relations. Even if the US leadership wasn't inept, I don't know if they could. A lessening of efforts by the US would just be perceived as weakness and a victory for Islamic extremists. I'd like to think there would be a let down on their hatred, but with all the rhetoric that's been put out there, I see little chance for that happening. On the other side of the coin, I don't see Islamic extremists ever taking the first step either. How can a group that believes it's fighting a war for God, in which the only means of victory is the death of infidels, ever become more moderate? I just don't see them throwing their hands up and saying, "sorry God, can't do it, weren't not going to kill them for you after all."

It's a horrible situation and I don't know what the hell should happen to resolve this. You have one side that believes what they are doing is right because it preserves life and liberty, on the other hand you have a group that believes what they are doing is right because God tells them so.

I personally don't know how you appease a group where the demands are either; your death or complete abandonment of religion and conversion to theirs. Their hatred may have stemmed from more benign circumstances, but has reached a point where I don't know if dialog could any longer be effective.

I guess I'm just an eternal pessimist through.

At first I say racially profile the hell out of Muslims. But after thinking logically, not all Muslims are bad, especially not in developed countries. So it's a grey area for me. But realistically if there is a current group of people reeking havoc on society, there deserves some probing on a broader population, especially if it is almost exclusively one group of people.

Let me tell you something (and yeah I'm wasted right now), if there were a group of butt-pirate fags killing people, I would be down with the gov't profiling me because I'm a fag, but I have nothing to hide since I don't kill anyone. My theory is if you got no guilt, who cares if people are watching you (unless they wrongfully convict you of something you didn't do, which happens to some Muslims and that's fucked up.)

I got so wasted toonight and one thing I learn, Muslims really aren't that bad compareed to white people. Jeez, talk about pretentious fuckin pricks. At least Muslims are receptive when I hit on them (well the gay ones are, never met a straight one).

p.s. i didn't read anyone's post of course in this thread. that would just give me a headache and I already threw up twice tonight...

Shaolin Z asked me a question and I answered. What do you want, a novel? Btw, the throw up comment doesn't refer to anyone posting, but rather the fact that I mixed the wrong drinks and have been throwing up since then (mostly at the club).

Unreal ... nearly 40 percent of people support racial profiling???? What a great forum this is, there are so many neo-cons and republicans and American government lovers in here.


Yeah, slap those laws on the innocent people. Strip the freedoms. Wear a special arab emblem on your arm to be visible in public clearly at all times, too

I believe racial profiling is just a lazy measure and not anything near a real solution to stopping an attack from occurring. If the attackers know that the places they wish to attack are profiling, they'll just get someone who looks nothing like them that still hates that country to carry off the actual attack, possibly someone who has nothing to lose and may want to commit suicide anyway.

Remember that the govt not only must do, but also be seen doing something about national security.

A lot of people are scared of these suicide bomber terrorist types. So yeah. Racial profiling probably isn't going to do much, but it will make some Americans feel safer.
