Sirhan Sirhan was Palestinian. Certainly would get caught in a good

is why did he get into the US even back then? Was he about 24 at the

Geeze, let's try a little simple math for the simpletons around here.
There are somewhere between one and a half to two billion Muslims on this
planet. How may of them do you think are young males? Maybe a couple of
hundred million? Some f'n profile.

Look, if you want to develop a true terrorist profile, fine. But if
anyone things that young male Muslims is an adequate profile, they are a
moron, and a racist.


No one proposed young, male Muslims as an adequate profile. Only a
blathering fool would seriously suggest such a thing. However, a good
case can be made for their use as a starting point.

BTW, Harry would get you for categorizing them as a 'race', ergo the
suggestion could not be 'racist'.

But, you did get a lot of name-calling into your posts.



You're the rec.boats racist, herring. In fact, you've pretty much
retired the crown.

Sorry to see you've made it to another day.
