Well the good news is that the U.S. is finally implementing a form of profiling!
No longer will "an elderly visitor from Iceland (be treated) as big of a potential threat as a twenty-something from Yemen"
but rather
"anyone traveling from or through nations regarded as state sponsors of terrorism as well as “other countries of interest” will be required to go through enhanced screening."

Terrorists will of course find loopholes in any procedure but at least it seems to be a move in the right direction,
targeting likely suspects instead of bending over backwards to be politically correct.
It seems that 13 of the 14 targeted countries are Islamic.
Who would have thought?

Maybe Obamarama and Janet Incompetano are turning into EVIL RACIST BIGOTED Islamophobes?
Hopefully Australia will take note.

Yes, *Herman* must have quite a head on him if he's afraid to look in the mirror.

HaHaHa

No, I haven't lost anyone in the conflict, and neither has any of my immediate family, though the old dear and sister did frequent the bus which got taken out in England. They were lucky to have not been on it at the time.

When I was last in Perth, W.A. Nov 19 - 29 my 2nd cousins murder made front page news as he was dragged from his car and kicked and beaten to death for interceding in a domestic dispute.

Oh, it wasn't persons of the Islamic persuasion who are alleged to have committed the crime.

I barely new him though still, it impacted on my Scottish ex Aunt in law and cousin on the paternal side quite heavily.

Dear Herman Yutic,

I'm sorry but I don't buy your protestations.

When you refer to another poster as "ReamOn,"
instead of their accurate nom de plume "Dream On."

When you say that you're sorry for the loss of
their "luved ones," then accuse them of irrationality,
this doesn't smell of sincerity. And then when you go
on to ask another poster who happened to view things
from a different perspective to yours, "What's the
weather like in Cloud Cuckoo Land?" Then you've
go to wear the fact that people may see you as being
intolerant and uncharitable.

And, if you don't like being compared to a fundamentalist -
then stop acting like one!

"A man must be both stupid and uncharitable who
blieves there is no virtue or truth but his own."

Foxy,

In an environment
where there is no truth,
only different perspectives,
where tolerance is deemed higher than truth,
but truth is met with intolerance,
where all opinions are held to be equal,
except those deemed to be intolerant
because they expose the absence of reason.
What value sincerity then,
when all is relative?
Is not insincerity just as valuable as sincerity?
Is not lack of virtue as virtuous as virtue?

Muslim-majority Malaysia objected to Christians using the word Allah for God in Malay. Allah in pre-Islamic Arabia means God. The word Allah just means God.

The reason is simple enough. When Muslims are in the majority they start to bully the non-Muslims.

Evidence shows that Muslims are the ones wo are not only intolerant but also threatening. http://www.bangladeshnews.net/story/584757

Presumably, then, you think Muslims don't feel bullied by Christians, who wish to paint them all as intolerant terrorists and deny their religion validity.

The only difference between Islam and Christianity is that Islam hasn't yet been neutered by secularism. The first wave of immigrants is always insular, but Australia can show their children the greatness of a secular society, and make Islam in this country as twee and feeble as Christianity now is.
