Was Timothy McVeigh an Arab Muslim?

[ck4829]

Was James Earl Ray an Arab Muslim?

Was Eric Rudolph an Arab Muslim?

Was the Assassin of JFK an Arab Muslim?

What about the people who tried to car bomb Darrel Issa, were they Arab Muslims?

Were the 700 Muslims who died in the WTC terrorists?

Racial profiling (AKA racism) is never justified.

1. I've heard some people try and claim that McVeigh was a Muslim

Needless to say, it was the single stupidest thing I've ever heard.

8. You're right. This was making

the hate-radio rounds for a while. McVeigh had Al-Quaida ties. Really. They tried to pull this off...and probably succeeded with half their audience.

2. Assassin of JFK?

Which one? :hide:

3. You be the judge

:)

4. No, in keeping with your basic point,

Mr. McVeigh was probably Army of God, a home-grown terrorist organization, not often acknowledged by our press.

I believe they have telephone records of him calling the compound.

5. When I have asked pukes if McVeigh was a terrorist their std answer is

No, he was just mad at the government.

Isn't that what the terrorist are doing, expressing the anger at the American Government?

ie: McVeigh was a terrorist.

6. Normally, I'd agree. But we're really trying to make Arab Muslims hate us

Granted, we shouldn't let our guard down against non-arab-non-muslims.

But when you walk into a bar and pick a fight with a guy in the Delta Kappa Kegger Fraternity, you'd best not turn your back on the other guys wearing the Greek letters.

But that doesn't mean the skinheads (or even the guys playing D&D in the back) might not decide to kick your ass, too.

By stereotyping them as terrorists, we've almost created a self-fulfilling prophesy.

We've punched the arab-muslim-world in the nose. We've picked a fight with them. I think we'd best keep an eye on them.

7. Well, we can't go and bomb Michigan.

So McVeigh's origin and religion are irrelevant.

[Deja Q]

9. Or Ken Lay for that matter.

He's a terrorist too; look at all the lives he ruined in the name of exercising his religion (the pursuit of money)?
