I heard this man on the radio tonight. He was very inspiring. He pointed out something I'd seen in my military service: Racism is talked about more in the US than any other country and happens in the US the least. (SHAH! Don't I know it! Racism is a way of life outside our borders on a scale most Americans can't comprehend). He talked about profiling in the airports and that we need to - from his expert professional opinion as a former terrorist - "profile or die." And that means start targeting muslims and middle easterners at the airports. He stated that all this discussion makes him very depressed because it is so foolish for our country to be targeting its own civilians when we already know who the real targets are and never mind the fact that he can sneak stuff on a plane that our TSA can't detect and he could blow up a plane with materials smuggled in a pen.
Oh and he did call the Hamasque in New York near ground zero an act of terrorism because the Imam does have ties to terrorism and terrorism can include political goals as well as murderous goals. Manipulating a government is just as much a part of terrorism as blowing things up is.
He is a former Palestinian Terrorist and now is a Christian. Anyways - I thought someone else might like to read his stories and hear his accounts: http://shoebat.com/index2.php
