Contrasted without further comment: racial profiling edition

Earlier today a troll had this to say:

i really agree with you aboyut the racial profiling thing. i read a quote earlier on today and it went something like this. not all muslims are terrorists are islamic people are terrorists, but have you ever noticed that all terrorists are islamic. i really agree with this there are many place in the world that have been bomb and destroyed and the majority of them were damaged by the islamic males 17-40, not 80 year old women. if bus loads of old ladies bombed a bunch of buildings,e would be right to racially profile them.

Taking the commenter’s own “logic,” this incident, combined with OKC and the Olympic Park and clinic bombings, should imply something about how we deal with fundamentalists*, no?

A small group of protesters gathered near the funeral services to criticize the man who mobilized Christian evangelicals and made them a major force in American politics — often by playing on social prejudices. And Campbell County authorities arrested a Liberty University student for having several homemade bombs in his car.

The student, 19-year-old Mark D. Uhl of Amissville, Va., reportedly told authorities that he was making the bombs to stop protesters from disrupting the funeral service.

*No, I don’t support profiling of any religious group, even Scientologists. Just illustrating the point.
