Last time I checked, Muslims come in other wrappers than just Arab form. Come to think about it, the failed bombings were done by non-arab men.

1. Again, like I said, every bomber so far has been a young middle eastern muslim man.

Also, who bombed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City?

2. Are you saying the OKC bombing and what is happening today is somehow linked? Becasue last time I checked, Tim Mcveigh was not blowing up our people in the name of Allah. Thats the war we are fighting today, not something 10 years ago.

Terrorist do not simply come from the Middle East or Islamic faith, and setting our defense to combat ONLY people with a Middle Eastern background is foolish.

3. That funny because so far, every suiside bomber has been from the middle east and of the islamic faith.

1. Like I said, not every bomber is Arab. What about Jermaine Maurice Lindsay? He's from Jamaica. What about the bombers in the US embassy bombings? The only thing they have in common is they follow a radical sect of Islam. You need to read up a bit more on the subject since you are incorrect in your broad statment.

2. No, what I'm saying is that wacko religious people come in other flavors than just Muslim, and they are just as dangerous to Americans as a whole. The OKC bombing is as apt of an example as one could find.

3. You're wrong. *Suicide* bombers came in African form in Africa against the US twice, which were conducted by OBL's followers. The crazy sect of Islam does not need it's followers to be Arab, just about any US soldier that was in the Somolia conflict will be able to tell you that.

I do not disagree that the vast majority of extreme Islamic followers are Arab young men. What I am saying is that we shouldn't focus upon ONLY Arab young men, or we will let many attackers slip by. We need better Homeland Security/Boarder Patrol and we need better transit security in every format. There are more than just Islamic Extremists out there to cause harm.
