Fixed.

It doesn't matter if it sounds Muslim or not. If it is a Muslim name, "common sense profiling" should be used.



So now you're "profiling" as extended from people are who Muslim, but realising that's impossible to determine, we've branched out to people with either Muslim-sounding names or people with Muslim last names whether they're actually Muslim or not. What about people with Muslim first names? Maybe Omar Smith?

And what about women? You want to target all Muslims, and all those with Muslim or Muslm-sounding names. But there's been no Muslim women arrested for terrorism. If you wanna really "profile", statistically-speaking a White Male is more likely to be a terrorist on a plane than a Woman with a Muslim last name. So, what then? Ignore the same statistics because we don't like what they say?



From the USA Today article "Most of those named in the list were London residents. All had Muslim names, many of which are common in Pakistan. The youngest person was 17, the oldest 35."
