I don't understand your point-- are you promoting prejudice? Do you want us to dislike someone because we are supposed to generalize? If you are trying to promote hate-- that sucks...

oh wow, come on now, "almost all terrorists are middle eastern", why would you say something like that man, because you are completely wrong dude. yes, their are terorists there, but there are terrorists everywhere. You see, since the USA unfairly imposes there selves on every other countries business they are hated. its not just the middle eaastern countries either, there is a great deal of dislike for them in N. Korea, A very large portion of Europe, china...list goes on.
Now, you see the last 50 or so terrorists arrested by the FBI- an american institution - were middle eaastern. Thats because these people really hate your country, so they would plan attacks on it. There are way more terrorists then those of the middle east my i remind you, have you ever heard of a little country called ireland???? they have been blowing the shit out of each other for decades. Another example, isreal and palistine, them? no..maybe..just wondering. Well they are daily setting explosives in markets,universities, cafes, ect.
So,obviously plenty of other exmaples out there, your own country has terrorists, militant groups, hell my country has plenty of terroist within its borders, the point is you cant say that a vast majority of terrorists are muslim/middle eastern

he made a generalization , it doesn't mean that every muslim is a terrorist, or that every terrorist is a muslim, it means that many of terrorists are muslim, just like many (if not all) memebers of the KKK are WASP's. its a gereralization, take it for what it is.

But it was an unnecesary generalization. The only thing it could possibly accomplish is to make people suspicious of innocent people because of their race. It's because of fucks like him that people stereotype you conservatives as being racist, and that mosques liek the one in my town have to be shut down fo fear of attack from bigoted rednecks.

I never said that all muslims are terrorists. Just open your eyes. Every single one of the 9-11 hijackers were young, Arab, Muslim men. It is ignorant to deny that there is a pattern. It is harmful to not react to that pattern.

It IS necesary. When it comes down to my safety and the safety of others, feelings dont matter. The fact is that many Arabs are terrorists. It is a generalization, yes, but for safety's sake it is necesary. Its like having a smoke detector in your house. You probably wont have a fire in your house, but you keep it around JUST IN CASE.

but i don't think any of those groups have ever hijacked a plane...i could be wrong.

the point about screening arab/muslim looking people is that of all the groups of terrorists out to destroy the US, almost all of them are arab/muslim, they should obviously be the ones who are under the most scrutiny. it isn't about hurting peoples feelings, its about preventing deaths.

I do take offence with the statement of "most arabs are terrorists" and such.

You must sit back and think of the numbers you have brought forth in the statement.

You're saying that most of the 60 million Arabs - and the good 300 million muslims are terrorists?!

Its like saying --- "Most Americans are against the war- and therefore do antiwar protests."

Looking at that you can say that there are 280 million Americans- and probably (around the US) around 400,000 protesters.

Now is that really "most Americans?"

Some Arabs are terrorists yes (1500? tops?)- but the truth is most Arabs like the USA.

And I also find that remark racist though you may have not meant it to be that way

Yes 9/11 --- those were arabs -- muslims-- BUT- Muslims are not the only terrorists in this world

I think we have acknowledge the fact that arabs hate jews, and were doing our best to do something about it, but we will not turn our back on israel to get peace in the middle east.

Another reason there so much terrorist in the ME, is that those in charge purposly keep there people uneducated and poor, the wealth of oil is not spread out among the people, but keep in the hands of kings nad princes.

We do our best to make palestinians hate jews by allowing Isreal to murder innocent palestinians daily, take their land, and ignore their cries for help.

And we help keep those who controll the oil supply in charge, because if we didn't we wouldn't be able to afford our $100,000 Hummer 2 that get 8 Iraq's per gallon. And it doesn't just happen in the middle east. The US does it's best to ruin third world economies around the globe to ensure cheap labor (Nike, levis, GMC) and to get resources cheap (oil, diamonds etc.)

yeah...however it goes back to the fact that, terrorism wont stop in the ME unless the USA starts putting equal pressure on israel to withdraw from west bank, golan heights, gaza strip etc...i know ultimately its Israels decision. but by always giving PM Sharon the free go ahead, its going to cause terror.

8 Iraqi's to the gallon. First of all you are stupid, we dont kill Iraqis for oil, we are liberating their country, we are allowing as many to live as possible, as long as they wave that white flag and dont shoot at our soldiers, they will live. And your "Iraqis to the gallon" doesnt make sense for this reason as well. Someone says "miles to the gallon" or "kilometers to the gallon". So are Iraqis a unit of measurment in distance now? I believe what you are TRYING to say is, a gallon of gas costs 8 Iraqis, which is still bogus, becuase the war ISN'T about oil, fucking dumbass.
"Yeah we are heading down the road going about 60 Iraqis an hour. 2 Iraqis ahead is the store where we buy our groceries at. SLOW DOWN! You're going 6 Iraqis over the speed limit!"

It would also help if the palastinans would be allowed to elect a non corrupt leader that would be willing to work with the israelis, instead of one the promotes compromises to the media, but then goes behind close doors and allows/orders terrorist attacks on Jewish communities and purposly striking areas were children will be hit the most.

Also the reason Israel has the areas you spoke of are the fault of Palastinan and Arab aggression.

But i agree Israel needs to stop the settlements as soon as possible, but you cant expect them to do stuff to ease the conflict if the palastinans aren't. (also polls show that 75% of Israel is against the settlements.)

i agree the Israeli's need to back off of their expansion into palestinian areas, but the palestinians need to take some responsibility as well. if they don't like the way they are being treated, they should rise up and stop the corrupt palestinians from commiting terrorist acts. as long as they do nothing to improve their own situation, things are gonna get worse. they need to give arafat the boot, set up some kind of democratic system were no 1 person can remain in power for so long or with out any limit. arafat is keeping his people opressed just as much as the Israelis.

I take utter offense to that, all Middle Easterns terrorists, haha you fucking idiot!! Have you seen how been the Middle East is, Islam is a religion that is undertaken by at least almost 2 billion people, so therefore all those 2 billion people are terrorists. Also not all Arabs are Muslim ******. THere are so many Arabs that are dual nationalities, that means that alot of Americans are also half arab. So that generalization is crap and stupid. THe reason there is so many muslim terrorists is because of their compassion for their religion that does not mean that every Arab is bad and is a terrorist. Come over to the Middle East and see how many amazingly nice people are here.

ahhh wouldnt it be great if everyone in the world lived according to our ideals and beliefs?? if everyone rose up against corruption in their governments?? if american culture was spread across the world creating a bunch of little mini malls with gap and mcdonalds??
if only it were that easy...
the palestinians have huge popular support for arafat...which is why hes their leader. the palestinians also support the suicide bombers..which would explain why theyre so prolific and still going on.
you want to place blame?? blame the israeli who killed the prime minister of israel a couple of years ago because he didnt want to make peace with palestine. blame the arab who shot sadat because he was making peace with israel. blame ariel sharon for refusing to stop the building of settlements in palestinian territory. blame arafat for supporting terrorism or whatever. but i dont think its the people of israel or palestines faults. israelis just want to see the bombings stop. palestinians want the israelis out of their territory...and of course eveyrone wants jerusalem.

its fairly obvious that people here generalize TOO much...take it way to far. example..the arabs are terrorist or whatever comment. in fact...most arabs arent terrorists. most terrorists arent even arabs. it just happens that most of the terrorists you see everyday on cnn or fox news channel happen to be arab/muslim. its ignorance and media coverage like that that pisses off these people. its our policies towards israel that causes 19 guys to fly a couple of planes into buildings. and it just fuels the hate..stop the hate. stop the prejudice.

Recently what has been the largest race of terrorists? Arabs and Muslims. Lets start with 9/11. Muslims. Beltway Sniper? Muslim. Dirty bomb guy that they want for quesioning? Muslim. All those people recently arrested for planning/funding 9/11? Muslim. All of those terror attacks in Isreal? Muslims.

i still don't understand what your thick head is trying to convey. Are you trying to say that Muslims are BORN terrorists? Why would you say that most terrorists are Muslim, when in fact they are not. Just because recent events have occured in/from the middle east, does not mean that is how it has always been. Again, look at the KKK? I think you've been eating one too many paint-chips.

if most terrorists aren't muslim, then what group makes up the majority of terrorists? i'm just curious, because i think that muslim extremists probably make up the majority, but they obvioulsy aren't the only group of people engaged in terrorism (IRA, KKK, etc...)

Race/religion doesn't lead to terrorism, lack of education does. Thats why extremist prey on the poor uneducated in Arab nations, but also in the back woods of America or even in Ireland.

Well maybe the answer here is that the education levels are lower there, or there purposely keep uninformed? (kind of like what Arafat does, but so do many others.)

i didn't say that it was a fact, or that i had anything to back it up, i was simply curious what group was larger than muslim extremists.

just forget the whole thing, it has cause way to much confusion, i'll just look it up somewhere.
