Depends on the crime

Aamir,

If the crime is against a person - that is one thing. If the crime is against a country - to the extent that a large group of people die and the cause can be traced to a specific demographic group, that is wide spread, and has a history of these actions - that is something else altogether.

Iraq may prove to not have been the greatest idea - but profiling Muslims - so long as this problem is wide spread - is just good common sense. This is definitely an inconvenience to some Muslims - perhaps it should motivate them to help take care of this Muslim problem, as their reputation is at stake. So far this is not a happening in any measurable significant way - and that is a big problem.
