"I want all Arabs to be stripped naked and cavity-searched..."

[newyorican]

It’s sad, but racial profiling is necessary for our safety

I want all Arabs to be stripped naked and cavity-searched if they get within 100 yards of an airport.

I don’t care if they’re being inconvenienced. I don’t care if it seems as though their rights are being violated.

I care about my life. I care about the lives of my family and friends.

And I care about the lives of the Arabs and Arab Americans I’m privileged to know and study with.

They’re some of the brightest, kindest people I’ve ever met.

Check out the responses...real eye openers.

1. Such a stupid plan of action.

Doesn't it occur to these people that this sort of profiling is fruitless? If terrorist organizations see that people are being stopped and searched and interrogated based on their race, don't you think they'll, I don't know, use operatives that aren't Arab or Middle Eastern in appearance?

[BlueEyedSon]

2. And they (arabs) want all the uber-capitalist westerners out of their

countries or killed. Sounds like a fair exchange.

[Tace]

3. Profoundly Ignorant And Naive Thinking... If You Can Call It That

She deserves any flak she gets for this bit of puss.

4. Hate begets hate

How sick.

6. I want Pat Robertson to be stripped naked and cavity-searched.

He made a terroristic threat, too.

[Fovea]

7. Yeah, them damn Ayerabs

like Timothy McVeigh.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

8. Cuz they are really

stupid, too. And they will NEVER figure out that they should use false ID's, dye their hair, send the lighter skinned among them to do the deeds we fear.

/sarcasm off


Two hours of nakedness is just wasted time? PLEASE! The concept of personal dignity doesn't mean much to this young woman, does it?

[zapp]

9. Please understand that she

Does NOT speak for the North Carolinians I know.

Bigoted crap.

[rzemanfl]

10. They need to close their International Studies Department and

transfer the students to the School of Intelligent Design.

[NewJeffCT]

11. Let's also start profiling white males

after all, Timothy McVeigh did Oklahoma City, a white male.

Who was the guy that bombed the Atlanta Olympics? a white male?

Wasn't the Unibomber a white male?

Aren't all those abortion clinic bombers white males?

a white male named Hitler was responsible for killing millions of Jews in Nazi Germany.

a white male named Stalin was responsible for tens of millions of deaths in the Soviet Union...

12. So this article's been posted to DU a dozen times or more. . .

in the last two days. This lady's certainly a whack job, but there're plenty of posters on DU working overtime to ensure she gets plenty of exposure. Wonder what she'll do with all that free publicity?

[BlueJac]

13. Go ahead...you got the cavity!

:wtf:

[OneBlueSky]

14. wonder if she'd feel the same way if she knew that Arabs were . . .

only minor functionaries in the 9/11 MIHOP/LIHOP conducted by elements of our own government . . . profiling anyone connected to BushCo would likely be more productive . . .

[primavera]

19. Well, she does say we should get rid of human rights violators...

...and the shrub's got at least as many human rights violations to his credit as Saddam, so she's evidently calling for his removal from power as well. Well, at least we agree on one thing. Of course, since she's advocating violating human rights herself, she must support getting rid of people like herself as well, hmmm, guess she's glad she got canned then.

15. Let's just strip and cavity search everybody, every day, at the 7-11.

You can't have too much safety, and some people will enjoy
being "searched". I can see people going down to the airport
just because they were in the mood to be "searched". I would
be willing to "search" this young lady, in a helpful spirit,
and I know she would not be degraded at all because it's a
good cause making the world secure by having people peer into
your "cavities".

[Tace]

16. I Think You're On To Something Here

If we all just peer into one another's cavities, everything will work out just fine.

[tularetom]

17. Wow! That is one naive young lady

I bet if I told her I was an arab she'd want to strip and cavity search me. Or better yet maybe I'll call her and ask if we can strip and cavity search each other...

18. "..as Ann Coulter advises...". "Ann Coulter once said...."

A junior majoring in international studies and the quotes she finds relevant to her theory are from Ann Coulter? :crazy:

Why piddle around with trifling matters as security when you could just, "...kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."?


As Ann Coulter advises, of course. :eyes:

[DrunkenMaster]

22. intellectual alarm bell, for sure

This is argument based on fear and stereotype, nothing more. Pathetic.

[cassiepriam]

20. Could Jawtick pass this test??? nt

[RedCloud]

21. I got the solution here!

Let's just all fly naked!

Birds do it all the time, although they do drop bombs of a sort.

Of course the "reporter" can make certain that the above normal guys get searched even further to make certain that isn't a rocket.

23. Cavity monitor implants, to watch our cavities all the time.

No longer will security personnel have to wonder if
some passenger has stuck a box-cutter in one of his
cavities in a solitary moment, they can just check
the readout from the implant monitor and know those
cavities are clean.
