Who Likes to Blow Up Christmas Trees and Christians?

SEE HERE Sure "profiling" is a dirty word, made so by people who spend most of their life profiling. A "profile" is just the customary expectation about something. If I buy a steak I have the expectation that it will taste like steak and have the consistency of the cut I bought, sirloin, tenderloin, etc. I'm profiling that steak. When it comes to violence the customary expectations about violence are that criminals may be violent, especially armed robbers and muggers. When it comes to religions you just have to go to the recent statistics. Who's at the top of the list? Could it be Islam? So if you want to search for would-be bombers and terrorists a good starting point is young, male, Muslims and you can add a few additional qualifiers like Somali if you want to increase your hit percentage a little more. That was easy! MORE
