Tragic Carpet Ride: Editorial Slams Imams For Conducting "Test Run"I don't know if this was truly a "test run" or it was simply an act of provocateurism to re-win Muslims the precious civil liberty to act weird on airplanes without repercussion. Maybe their weird actions were just misconstrued. It doesn't matter. If they are allowed to get away with this, it would mean that no Muslim acting strangely -- including bona fide hijackers and terrorists -- could ever be questioned or tossed off an airline again. The Muslim Grievance lobby is pressing for the strange proposition that the people we must most closely watch for terrorism must not be watched at all -- or else it's "Islamophobia." Whether a true test run or not, the outcome is the same -- they are probing airline security to see exactly what will and won't draw attention, and trying to push the boundaries of what they can do on an airplane. Whatever their motives, they are objectively aiding the terrorists. Good piece, and I'm glad someone said it: The facts pretty much speak for themselves. Again, I don't know about the "deliberately intended to provoke a reaction" or the "test run" stuff. I doubt that, at least in the way it seems to read. But the fact is -- pushing for the right of perfectly innocent Muslims to act strangely and in a coordinated fashion on airplanes, without any check whatsoever, grants the same right to terrorist Muslims. If we're going to profile based on "behavior," then it's the behavior we have to look at. We can't tell the innocent from the vicious through a chemical test. We can only make best guesses based on patterns of behavior. There is a price that falls on Muslims due to 9/11 -- suspicion, "humiliation," etc. One can sympathize with a Muslim who doesn't like being treated suspiciously just because of his religion. However, if we don't watch Muslims a little more carefully than we did before 9/11, then we're going to have a price paid -- in human life, and perhaps in the hundreds or even thousands again. I'm afraid I have trouble comprehending the mindset that says it is preferrable that hundreds die than that a single Musilm suffer so much as the humiliation of an arched eyebrow at an airport security check. | Recent Comments
