"What Is Truth?"

Submitted by Yehoshua Zeller (United States), Oct 7, 2005 at 20:00

In the bible ,"What Is Truth?" is asked by a most powerful Roman to a lowly Jew whose "crime" was to preach love.This poor Jew gave no defence for his actions except what everyone saw what he did in everyday life.His "profile" showed him to be a man of concern and desire to help in the common day life of the common people. So the Bible relates the Life of One called now by the Name of Jesus Christ.
His "Profile" defines the integrity of an ordinary man who wished each and everyone to get along in this world so as they could further this feeling of brotherly love in the World to Come.So one and one-half billion Christians pay honor to this man as well as one billion Muslims who also do such as the perfect man and prophet.
Our "profile" of who we are and what we do and how we act and re-act and feel is an important gauge to better understanding of our motives for life and our relationships with our world family of brothers and sisters.Profiling can be a good point or bad point depending on how and by whom the profile is judged.Therefore the problem of profiling.
If profiling against of Afro--Americans who have not or are not committing a crime is done ,then "driving while Black" is wrong. But if a group of Afro-American or any other group who have committed a crime and is being profiled,then it is just. Many of our prisons are hotbeds for Islamic Converts who willing become the "bomb fodder" for radical Islamic groups.Then it is right for the sake of the whole of society that they be profiled.This is the problem that many Black Journalists refuse to see. To them,any profiling is racist because they are stuck in the 1950's Mentality of Them vs Us instead of the likelihood that certain types of people are most likely to become the bombers of all kinds of people.And as while we have this division of Profiling as good or bad for certain of our peoples,then the Arab Terrorists will always have the advantage of having control of our lives through fear by using one ethnic group's feelings of being discriminated against without the concern for the safety of all other groups in our multicultural and diversified society.
Arabian sex tourism is also a study of two profiles of the Arabs themselves. One profile is that of being a good follower of Islam at home while the other profile is the total disregard of the humanity of other peoples which the Quran also teaches (being kuffars or kafirs not having the right to any dignity of being human or of any value to even live...just an object for the Muslim to use,abuse,or kill and be holy in the eyes of Allah.).
So the continuous conflict of the World versus Islam: profiling and culture and religion...all summed in a few words: The Right to Life.
We need profiling if we are to win The Right to Life.
