You: Hi Shawn McIrishname, are you Christian?
Shawn: No.
Hmmm. Can you prove otherwise? How will you know he is a Christian if he says he is not?
You:Hi Muhamed Salaam, are you a Muslim?
Salaam: No.
Well, I guess they just defeated your highly intellectual profiling system just like that. This would be my point. I do not have a problem with focusing on points of origin. I do not even have a problem with skin color profiling as that will just lead to teams dealing with white terrorists and teams dealing with brown terrorists. That will all even out so go for it. I have a problem with Religious Profiling simply because it is stupid. Do not ask why unless my little play act there confused you.
