Perhaps. But don't underestimate the ability of ideas to cross
boundaries. There is nothing particularly Arab about this whole thing -

Islam is not restricted to Arabic countries but then Islam is not the
problem. Specific Arabic terrorist groups that use Islam as a blind are
the problem.

Ever since 9-11 I have been eating yoghurt and fruit for breakfast, and
I believe that this has kept the terrorists at bay.

This is a good thing, especially since you are much more likely to die
of a heart attack than a terrorist attack in this country.

We may have made it
more difficult to accomplish a certain kind of action, but we've also
made it more difficult to thwart it should it occur.

Sorry, not following this argument...

It is the nature of an open society that it is vulnerable. It ceases to
be an open society long before it ceases to be vulnerable. Profiling is
just one way this happens.

I don't, for the most part disagree, but, consider this: Would you
suggest that after two white males rob a bank that we should be looking
for "two humans?" The reaction to so called "profiling" is, for the
most part, an emotional derivative of the civil rights movement in this
country rather than a fundamental issue.
