Bush administration is arguing that it has the right to lock up U.S. citizens forever

1. I'd have to see the evidience.
3. that being said, how can you account for people using mosques for cover? maybe those police you saw are watching the mosques for people going INTO them to threaten them?

1. It really did happen; in the year following 9/11, there was a whole lot of hay made out of FBI infiltration and surveillance of Mosques.
3. That sounds like something a cop would say ('we're just doing this for your own good'). How do we know you're not a narc? Just joshin'.

Or am I?

Yeah.

For terrorist suspects, not just because it was a mosque, thus my inital post on the mosque matter.

As for your comments on 3..so what?

"How much clear can people make that for you."

Then what is happening is not racial proflining

This may be a first someone who is in full and complete utter denial.

If you say so but not according to the Attorney general of NJ.

first, its racial profiling not proflining. ..

secondly you are the ONLY one who says that there isnt racial profiling happening.

thirdly, no it does not happen to EVERYONE. I have NEVER been pulled over for no reason whatsoever. half the time i haven't been pulled over when there was more than a good reason to pull me over. when i have been pulled over for doing more than twice the speed limit i didnt get a ticket? why? because it was apparent i come from an upper middle class white family.

Some comics of interest

Is there a reason you're adding humor? Should I post comics that support my view?

Is there something wrong with adding POLITICAL CARTOONS to a politics/news forum? Pictures are worth 1000 words.

These comics are based on real life incidents.

Well considering they really don't add to the thread I would say nope, you can't reply to the author, or get the authors to justify their point

Outspoken has spoken, I must change my ways immediately.

Or not.

I think they add to the discussion on racial profiling. Comics are an informantion medium, just as a television show, personal experience and newspapers

Then should I post a comic with someone being pulls over, screaming about this and that, hey, you're doing this because I'm Islamic, or because I went to a mosque, or because I did this or that..and then the police officer smiles and says, no I pulled you over because you cut someone off and wanted to tell you to drive safer...

Or how about a cartoon talking about crying wolf?

those comics would be against forum rules

Then so are hers

she is using comics to show that racial profiling does in fact happen. while not all of it happens the way demonstrated in those comics, it gives you an idea. and no one said that everytime a member of a minority group is pulled over that it is from racial profiling. so give it up already.

Furthermore I am willing to bet you like the Patriot Act right? Well Section 102a1 says that discrimination against Arab Americans, Muslim Americans and Americans from South Asia is not ok. So there goes saying racial profiling is alright for these groups because of "stats"

those comics would be against forum rules

Then so are hers

LOL @ this situation.

Keep making use of "", that way nobody gets in trouble .
