Hey - that my ox getting gored. I wonder how far back they go? My husband's father's family came over from Syria - we still have relatives in norther Lebanon (which was created from part of Syria).

I have a muslim friend - wears hajib - whose husband is from Algeria. She told me he was on the way to the airport to pick up one of their 4 kids from college and the car engine caught fire on the interstate just before the airport turnoff. She was so relieved it didn't happen at the airport because the whole family might well have ended up being taken by Homeland security for having a crap car.

Wow, i would be relieved too. You could end up in Guantanamo just for your appearance and bad luck.

They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?

Precisely, and very scary!! An Algerian Muslim's car just happened to catch on fire as he approached the airport today. Armed security troops were dispatched to the scene and the occupants were taken in for questioning.

If her friends tried to support her , we'd be labeled liberal crocks.

Racial profiling is not seriousness about anything except making broad generalizations.

Which never works, because it lets too may people go through because they would never do anything like that - you can tell by looking at them. Well two 65 year old retired schoolteacher grannies were busted a few years back for running drugs in the RV.

I wonder if ol' Timothy would be picked up under this scheme.
