He was arrested because Indians and Pakistani/other Muslims from countries of the area people are very similar looking. And in that region of the world attacks are up during ramadan.
- throwaway4666 6y agoYou're being downvoted because "all brown people look the same to me" is not really a good look
- Thomas812 6y agoI'm being downvoted because most people follow the sexy political opinion of the moment and they wish all the biggest terrorist attacks on the west were done by white Christians.
- throwaway4666 6y agoMost terrorist attacks in the west are done by alt-righters though
- Thomas812 6y agoHaha good one The Orlando shooting + 9/11 as I said earlier covers more than the entirety of right wing extremists in the last 20 years.
- throwaway4666 6y agoIt's not that hard to look up and prove you wrong mate: https://www.euractiv.com/section/justice-home-affairs/news/far-right-terrorism-has-more-than-tripled-over-last-four-years-report-warns/ https://www.euractiv.com/section/justice-home-affairs/news/f... >“In 2018, far-right terrorist attacks accounted for 17.2% of terrorist incidents in the West. By contrast, attacks by Islamist groups accounted for 6.8% of attacks, and attacks not attributed to any group accounted for 62.8% of incidents in the West,” the report has found.
- Thomas812 6y agoSo what you mean is that a group that's about 100 times smaller only commits twice fewer terrorist attacks? Sounds like they are overepresented by a factor of 50... And therefore stop and search overrepresentation should be 50.
- throwaway4666 6y agoYou're grasping at straws here. How do you even determine the size of the 'groups'?
- Thomas812 6y agoSo when it comes to accusing airports agents of overrepresenting the group in their security search, you know the group size. However when someone points out terrorist attacks you suddenly don't know the group size anymore? Funny. How come you know they are overepresented in airport security picking?
- enriquto 6y agoIslamists are also right wing extremists. They are just as nuts as right wing extremists from other religions. Not sure why you need so much to separate their acts of terror. It's just insane people who have imaginary friends on the sky that guide them to kill real people.
- Thomas812 6y agoAre you pretending that anti-lgbt or antisemitic rhetoric is not present in the left? Have you read a single recent history book about the 20th century?
- enriquto 6y agoWho's talking about the left here? I did not say anything about "the left", and much less pretend anything about them. I just said that islamists are right wing extremists, and they do themselves say it so. Their main fight is precisely against the left-induced degeneracy of society.
- netsharc 6y agoI think he's trying to defend TSA's racial profiling, but well, in the eyes of the average TSA agent, aren't "all brown people are the same"? And to them, the "brown people" are the terrorists? The current trend is for rightwing, white supremacy/incel extremism, so TSA racial profiling is dangerous because they might accidentally let a Nazi with guns on a plane, but grandparent commenter is not wrong, that the TSA are myopic...
