| US general urges strip search of Muslim men |
| 2010-01-04 |
| [Iran Press TV Latest] A retired US general and member of Iran Policy Committee (IPC) says all 18 to 28 years old Muslim men should be strip searched at airports as "one of these bombers" will explode an airliner in the coming days. Thomas McInerney, a retired Lt. Genera with the US Air Force, told Fox News television on Saturday that within the next 30 to 120 days, "there is a danger of high probability" awaiting US airliners. "If you are an 18 to 28-year-old Muslim man then you should be strip searched. And if we don't do that there's a very high probability we're going to lose an airline," he said. The retired general went on to say that US officials should profile all Muslims. "We have to use profiling. And I mean be very serious and harsh about the profiling." Asked if such a racial approach would not "generate more hatred and violence towards the West," McInerney said he did not want "a racial profile." "I want to profile on that group that we have enough evidence from 9/11, and other [high-profile] cases that we know what we are looking at," he said. The suggestions made by the US retied general comes on the heels of a purported bomb attack on a US transatlantic airliner on Christmas Day by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian who allegedly received al-Qaeda training in Yemen. Lawmakers and congressional leaders in the US have echoed similar sentiments by urging President Obama abandon or suspend his plan to shutter the Guantanamo Bay Prison. Around half of the remaining Gitmo detainees are from Yemen, and of those, about 40 have been cleared for release. |

| #8 1. The world needs more "jihadi" jokes. 2. Airliners should have seats upholstered with pigskin. |

| #4 Muslims should not be allowed on Infidel Airlines anyway. They have shown a never ending tendency to fly them into buildings full of infidels. They should start their own airline. Those airlines entering US Airspace should require, at thier expense, F-18 fighter escorts to remote airfields designated only for a Muslim airline. In reality they will still find a way to blow up Infidel Airlines. But then we move to the next step... Isolation of the Muslim world if they just can't quite get along with the infidel world. |

| #1 This is precisely the reaction desired by the Muslim men who made a ruckus on those airplanes. By provoking the government into pissing off all Muslims, it drives them into the radicals' arms. This is standard leftist strategy. "The people" (in this case the Ummah) are not aware that they are being oppressed, which is a big problem for the radicals. |
