'Criminal' profiling
Reader comment on item: The Enemy Within [and the Need for Profiling]
Submitted by Robert Dietrich (United States), Jan 26, 2003 at 10:28
Anyone who has problems with the idea of profiling Muslums is delusional. I have spent time on some Middle East web sites. I suggest that others do the same. Some of them do not appear to be from this planet and it is all done with a straight face. Wake up folks, it's going to get scary.Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes. Original writing only, please.
