If the so-called "offended or outraged "Muslims would take a more active role in fighting terrorism instead of secretely supporting them, morally or financially, then we non-Muslims wouldn't have to rely so heavily on "profiling". The way I see this situation: A group of people have declared war on civilization as it is known today. That group is or uses Islam as their identity. In order to investigate suspected future terror attacks are we to start questioning Lutherans? Buddists? No. It has nothing to do with Political Correctness ( which I see as a disease of the human guilt, but that is another arguement), it has to do with the effective fight against terror. Try to keep in mind that political correctness and consideration are two different things. Politics blows,in the wind.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
