Subject: RE: BS: Arguments against racial profiling
Racial profiling is both an emotive and an indefinable term, and I don't like it, and wouldn't use it on the indefinable basis alone.
However there is a valid answer to those who complain of harassment and say "Not all Moslems are terrorists" and the answer is, 'At this moment, most terrorists are Moslems' This means that the religious stereotyping is understandable, even if we all know that it is based on a false premise.
