Muslims Allege Racial Profiling for 2010 Olympic Security Positions

[Dean22]

Then I guess you don't know what is.

Says the guy who thinks he's going to be blown up every time he sees a Middle Eastern person.

I actually have never felt "Un-Safe" flying planes. Even after the Dick Bomber incident when I took a vacation in Mexico.  The chance of getting hurt/killed  is one in ten million.  I apologize in advance if that picture comes out to big or if you were being sarcastic

That will do nicely now, run along home, grownups are talking.  Either find anywhere in this entire forum where I've said anything of the sort, or kindly go fuck yourself, you impertinent little twat.  I'll take that warning now, if it please the mods.

Kind regards,

Something tells me........NO!

Dean, you really do need to learn when to STFU.

Some people get more breaks than others here for various reasons, and you probably fall well into that category.

I've been debating whether or not to take any action this time, but have decided to let you go on with your public display and let others form their own opinions (as if they haven't already).

If you want to derive the benefit that you can from this place, watch yourself.

Last freebie from me...

 

[Bruce Monkhouse]

Good call my friend.

 

[OldSolduer]

I weighed the benefits of telling our young friend (Dean) off, however discretion I think is here required. Loachman said it for me and I can't top what he said, despite me being a knuckledragger....or knucklehead as some people might think!! ;D

 

[Infanteer]

Another knee-jerk reaction to show "we're doing something about this!".

I've went through the whole philisophical arguement of profiling many times.  Unfair - probably.  Necessary - I'd argue yes; as a way of focusing security assets where they need be.

I guarantee you, even if there is no official policy of profiling, security officials do it.  I wouldn't call it profiling, I'd call it "forming a hypothesis based off of previous events".  What do the following pictures have in common?  Somehow, I don't see the 60-year old memorial cross mother fitting in - if we have reoccuring incidents of attacks coming from groups of grandmothers from the Prairies, then by all means, shift the security efforts....

 

[OldSolduer]

Infanteer, you are lucky my wife doesn't read these posts. She's 56 and a Memorial Cross mother.....!!


How you doing?

Religious groups, the media, left wing NGOs or whoever can call it "racial profiling" but at the end of the day security officials are doing exactly what they should be doing -- rooting out potential suspects. The fact of the matter is that recent history shows (including the Toronto 18 trial) that Muslim fundamentalists (but certainly not Muslims in general) pose a risk to Canadian domestic security. Until there is a way to separate/screen the fundamentalists from the peaceful majority we will get more of this. We'll all have to suck it up.

 

[OldSolduer]

The Muslim fundamentalists are the problem, but the Mulsim community has to denounce the terrorists. It seems to me they have an issue with doing that.

Islamic Supreme Council of Canada affiliated Imams Issue Important Fatwa: Attack on Canada and the United States is Attack on Muslims Too

FATWA (religious edict)

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

We, the undersigned Imams, are issuing the following Fatwa in order to guide the Muslims of North America regarding the attacks on Canada and the United States by the terrorists and the extremists. In our view, these attacks are evil and Islam requires from Muslims to stand up against this evil. In the holy Qur’an Almighty Allah orders Muslims,

• "Let there among you be a group that summon to all that is beneficial commands what is proper and forbids what is improper; they are the ones who will prosper." (3:104)
• "Believing men and believing women are protecting friends of one another; they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong; they perform salat and give zakat..." (9:71)
  
• "Those who, if We establish them in the land (with authority), establish regular prayers and practice regular charity and enjoin the right and forbid the wrong..." (22:41)
• Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said in a Hadith;
  
  "When people see a wrong-doer and do nothing to stop him, they may well be visited by God with a punishment."

Therefore, it is an obligation upon us (Imams) to inform all Muslims around the world that Muslims in Canada and the United States have complete freedom to practice Islam.  There is no single city in Canada and the United States where MASAJIDS (Mosques) are not built.  In all major cities Islamic schools provide education to Muslim children about Qur’an and the Islamic traditions.  Thousands of Muslims perform Hajj every year and travel to Saudi Arabia with complete freedom and respect.  In the month of Ramadan, both Canadian and the United States governments recognize the occasion and greet all Muslim citizens.  Muslims pray five daily prayers in mosques without any fear or restrictions. Muslims have complete freedom to pay Zakat (poor due) to the charity or a person of their choice.  Muslims have complete freedom to celebrate their festivals openly, publicly and Islamically.  Muslims enjoy freedom of religion just like Christians, Jews and others.  No one stops us from obeying Allah and His Messenger (Peace be upon him). No one stops us from preaching Islam and practicing Islam. In many cases, Muslims have more freedom to practice Islam here in Canada and the United States than many Muslim countries.

In fact, the constitutions of the United States and Canada are very close to the Islamic guiding principles of human rights and freedom. There is no conflict between the Islamic values of freedom and justice and the Canadian /US values of freedom and justice.

Therefore, any attack on Canada and the United States is an attack on the freedom of Canadian and American Muslims.  Any attack on Canada and the United States is an attack on thousands of mosques across North America. It is a duty of every Canadian and American Muslim to safeguard Canada and the USA. They must expose any person, Muslim OR non-Muslim, who would cause harm to fellow Canadians OR Americans. We, Canadian and American Muslims, must condemn and stand up against these attacks on Canada and the United States.

May Allah save Canada, the United States and the entire world from the evil of wrong doers. Ameen.

A Silver Cross Mother should be flying Air Canada for free in First Class. Same goes for Via Rail.

I fully agree.

Islamic Supreme Council of Canada affiliated Imams Issue Important Fatwa: Attack on Canada and the United States is Attack on Muslims Too

IMO this is just lip service. The Islamic Supreme Council of Canada needs to do more than shake their finger and make a public statement. They need to see our "friends" in the Islamic community taking an active role in identifying and stopping the fundamentalists.

 

[rormson]

You lads raise some good points. Would be nice to see the media report "Imams help RCMP identify suspects for potential security risks". Maybe as a nation we need to collectively revisit the issue of allegiance? Citizens who reside here, enjoy free health care, peaceful society, good government, etc. are here to preseve and build it - not attack it. Same reason generations of settlers from other nations wanted to be "Canadian" not some hyphenated version where their country is mentioned before Canada.

 

[krustyrl]

You raise a good point yourself RGO.!!  Well said.

 

[OldSolduer]

Well said RGO.
