Fox News Airs Suggestion for 'Muslim-Only' Airport Line

Newshounds | Posted Wednesday August 16, 2006 at 09:26 AM

Yesterday on Fox News' "Dayside," conservative radio host Mike Gallagher proposed that airports institute a "Muslims only" line for airport travelers during a segment Tuesday on racial profiling. Meta, that. From Newshounds, who "watch FOX so you don't have to":
"Dayside" co-host Juliet Huddy set up the debate by noting that all terrorists have been Muslim extremists, and Jerrick claimed that some people oppose racial profiling as "politically incorrect."

"It's not just a matter of political correctness, please," responded [constitutional lawyer Michael] Gross. "It's illegal, it's unconstitutional, unethical, immoral, it shouldn't be done. We do not in this country prejudge a person based upon their race, creed, color, country of national origin and it's wrong to do so and it addition it's not effective. It doesn't work. It actually perpetuates the problem. That is, it separates us."

Gallagher responded that Gross's statements were "absolutely absurd" and claimed that the Traffic Safety Administration is aggressively targeting uniformed members of the military. "Let's have a Muslim-only line," Gallagher said, as Gross started to talk.

Jerrick asked Gallagher to repeat what he said.

"It's time to have a Muslims check-point line in America's airports and have Muslims be scrutinized. You better believe it, it's time," Gallagher said, garnering tepid audience applause.

According to the Newshounds account, despite Gross' clarification above, the debate was framed as a "political correctness" issue rather than one of unconstitutionality.

NB: Note the headline in the "Next Entry" field: "Fox Gives Airtime to a Radical Christian Pastor Trying to Orchestrate Armageddon but Doesn't Reveal His Agenda to its Audience"

huffington post


Yeah, sure, and we can go back to "coloreds only" restrooms, and maybe make the Muslims wear a yellow crescent on their clothing and have special license plates on their cars to identify them to the police, right?

And remember, they only hate us because we are free!

O'Reilly's "Talking Points" tonight was a reiteration of the position that profiling of "Arab-looking" people is not racial, but "criminal" profiling, and should go into national effect.

And he's right, of course. It's used by Police in routine investigations, why not use it at the airport?

Holy sh!t, for real? How hard would it be to disguise your religion? What about the non-muslim terrorists (native like McVie)?

Of course, it's unthinkable anyone, Muslim or no, avoid looking what people at the airport think of as "a Muslim."

Idiot thinking from an idiot medium. If we all ignored it it wouldn't matter.

What would stop the "islamo-fascist" terrorists from taking advantage of the "new" profiling initiatives by just using people who didn't fit the profile to do their bombing?

Gallup: Many Americans Harbor Strong Bias Against U.S. Muslims

By E&P Staff

Published: August 10, 2006 10:40 AM ET

NEW YORK A new Gallup poll finds that many Americans -- what it calls "substantial minorities" -- harbor "negative feelings or prejudices against people of the Muslim faith" in this country. Nearly one in four Americans, 22%, say they would not like to have a Muslim as a neighbor.

While Americans tend to disagree with the notion that Muslims living in the United States are sympathetic to al-Qaeda, a significant 34% believe they do back al-Qaeda. And fewer than half -- 49% -- believe U.S. Muslims are loyal to the United States.

Almost four in ten, 39%, advocate that Muslims here should carry special I.D. That same number admit that they do hold some "prejudice" against Muslims. Forty-four percent say their religious views are too "extreme."

In every case, Americans who actually know any Muslims are more sympathethic.

The poll was taken at the end of July and surveyed 1,007 adult Americans.

Oh - Muslims are more mistrusted than the Jews. How's that for a turnaround? Well done Israel! Because the majority of Americans now think that Muslims are traitors. I kid you not:

Given the above views, and given how hard the Zionaxis is fu*** Muslim children to death, and given the carefully managed 'threat level', it won't be long before Muslims are rounded up into gulags and then what? The dirty scum, the most easily manipulated bunch of Foxf**fatc*** to ever disgrace and despoil our planet, the first empire in history to bring the planet to the brink of death will almost certainly start destroying Muslims in very large numbers indeed. The people will beg for it.

Indeed, there is a seriously creepy Christianist mullah you might have heard of, by the name of John Hagee, who is practically cuming in his pants at the thought of all those billions of people dying, mostly evil Muslims of course - After all, they cannot be trusted. This poster-boy of the Christianist/Zionist Nazi movement was actually sent messages of support at his recent symposium, around the time he was calling the attacks against Lebanon a 'miracle of God'.

'Almost certainly this is preparation for a roundup after the next 9/11 for Mid-Easterners, Muslims and possibly dissenters'

That a Haliburton subsidiary should profit from the internment of the hated Muslims is not surprising. That the subsidiary in question, KBR, should be paid $385M for these camps after having looted Iraq, a Muslim country, by overcharging for destruction caused by actions initiated by a former chairman is a trip beyond irony into cloud-cunting-fuckoo land.

I haven't seen any Jews blowing themselves up with bombs strapped to their backs ( like Muslims like to do ) and by the way, the people who flew the planes into the WTC were Muslims, not Jews. Sad
