#9  Any convert to Islam must be deemed a potential security risk in the future.

How convenient for them that with conversion they are granted the self-endowed right to conceal their beliefs, making them perfect potential operatives.

#7  Excal - agreed, but problems arise when you start having to deal with converts who may not LOOK Muslim. Unless they're advertising it through attire, babbling about Allan or waving a Koran around, how would you know? Statistically, you know something like 95% of people who 'look' Arab are Muslim as are half those who look South Asian, and a large number (pick a number) of those are risks, so you give 100% of those groups close attention. But you can't ignore the small but dangerous contingent of blue-eyed blondes or silver-haired grannies who may have caught the Islamic sickness and yet you don't have the resources to carefully examine everyone, so you 'sample' the lower risk population and hope for the best.

#6  Glenmore: If 100% of your set are muslims you do not have a profile, you have a description.

#3  "The three suspects — two Germans (converts!), aged 22 and 28, and a 29-year-old Turk — first came to the attention of authorities because they had been observing a U.S. military facility at the end of 2006, officials said. All three had undergone training at camps in Pakistan run by the Islamic Jihad Union, and had formed a German cell of the group."

Trained in Pakistan -what a surprise.
That two of the plotters were German converts to the Religion of Peace demonstrates just why pure profiling is not appropriate, it's just a probability tool.
This has been in planning for almost a year - at least. How innocent do those Seattle ferry boys look right now?
