“Keep it random”
is the motto of the madmen who run the Transportation Security
Administration. “Unpredictability,” says the TSA’s website, is key to
securing (or is it tormenting) the traveling public. One moment an
inspector may be lifting La Prairie face toner from well-to-do matrons;
the next she’ll be stealing anti-acne lotion from teenagers, or grabbing
Gerber juice bottles from chubby cherubs. As one of Chertoff’s chicks
told MSNBC’s Tucker Carlson, the terrorists are changing their methods
all the time, and so must we.
Sounds more like a headless and very
malevolent chicken (although to be fair to fowl, they’re too stupid to
harbor complex emotions).
It is debatable whether terrorists are
morphing their MO that fast. There may be “50 ways to leave your lover,”
but only so many ways to kill a large number of infidels. We know for
sure that box cutters are obsolete. We saw to that. But are “liquid
bombs” that new? The twenty four young Muslim men
of Pakistani origin,
recently arrested in connection
with a transatlantic flight bomb plot to blow up U.S.-bound airliners,
were following a trail blazed by the Bojinka conspirators—Ramzi Yousef
and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed—in 1994.
Our caretakers can quibble as to whether the
terrorists are in the TATP (triacetone triperoxide) or nitroglycerin
phase; whether they plan on using a watch, ordinary batteries, and a
contact lens solution case, as Yousef and Mohammed intended; or
if they’ll go back to box cutters, once these are unbanned by the
shifty, ever-shifting Department of Homeland Security.
But there is a constant
among these allegedly
fluctuating variables: the religion, ethnicity, and origins of the
putative perpetrators.
Compiling a composite of the criminals most
likely to hijack an airline or blow up a building isn’t hard. Try as
they may to confuse our congenitally compromised caretakers, the
terrorists have seemingly been unable to recruit to their cause people
with first names like Eric or Olaf and surnames like Edwards or
Christensen.
The menace faced is invariably from "young
Muslim men of North African, Middle Eastern and South Asian origin."
Make no mistake, there are many things native
Swedes will do for the eternally “disaffected” Muslims among them.
They’ll build them mosques and imposing minarets all over Malmo. They’ll
institute savage laws that outlaw forms of expression offensive to them.
They’ll authorize state grants to hate-promoting Islamic organizations.
In Italy, they’ve even contemplated allowing limited female
infibulation, under surgical conditions, naturally. And Canadians have
considered spicing up family law with Sharia.
But as committed as they are to pleasing and
appeasing Muslims, there have been woefully few—or no—native Swedes,
Italians, or Canadians willing to commit Jihad for the anguished Muslims
in their midst.
Still, officials keep telling the believing
“Boobus Americanus” that safety lies in pretending everyone is equally
weighted in his propensity to blow up an airplane. If we were on the
lookout for an abortion clinic saboteur, would we be patting down
Islamists, or Southern Baptist survivalists? In every other whodunit,
behavioral scientists attempt to construct a criminal profile of the
suspect. In the case of Islamic terrorism, however, the state won’t even
use the compelling evidence it has.
Regnant Muslim organizations aren’t helping.
Mention the no-brainer about Muslims proportionately committing more
suicide bombings than non-Muslims, and they toss the Tamil Tigers at
you.
First of all, some Tamils are Muslim. Last I
looked, moreover, they were engaged in a local conflict in Sri Lanka.
Nevertheless, and as writer Avi Dov Klein has stated, “The Tamils are
obvious outliers—and even … they didn't start using suicide bombers
until after a number of them returned from training in Lebanon. Every
single other suicide attack since 1980 was committed by a Muslim. Since
September 11, this has included bombings by Kashmiris, Chechens,
Palestinians, Afghanis, Saudis, and Iraqis.”
If young Jews were as well-represented among
suicide bombers and airline hijackers as Muslims are, I’d want the TSA’s
canine teams to sniff them out instead of being sicced on Joe
Scarborough’s baby girl. Remember Adam Yahiye Gadahn of Al-Qaida,
Pakistan? He turned out to be a Pearlman from California. Had Gadahn,
aka Pearlman, represented the tip of a Jewish Jihadist iceberg, I’d
recommend that young Jews be frisked. So far, this (partly) Jewish John
Walker Lindh has proven to be an extreme exception to the rule, like the
Tamils.
London, Madrid, Casablanca, Riyadh, and
Bali—one only need look at the offenders implicated in these acts of
terrorism to know the perps have a profile. It’s true that to question
innocent travelers because they fit
a profile is not a nice thing to
have to do. But to purposefully harass those who most definitely
don’t fit
the
profile is positively wicked.
Edgar Allan Poe’s “The System of Dr. Tarr and
Prof. Fether” tells of inmates in an asylum who overpower their wardens,
tar and feather them, throw them into underground cells, and proceed to
have “a jolly season of it” without them. What are we waiting for?
