Nope, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?

[JamesB]

I'm not touching this one with a barge pole.

[M8CKN]

I get your point and I whole heartedly agree.

Couldn't agree more.

[Thorburn]

There may be a pattern but lets not forget that

a) Its a tiny minority who give this stereotype, funnily enough 'millions of Muslims do nothing wrong at all' isn't enough to make the news every day.

b) Muslims are hardly alone in causing crime, just look at all the headlines in the paper and see how many Christians are out there raping, stabbing, stealing, defrauding, etc.

Don't think anyone on here will really find this funny.

[patently]

I'll find it funny, although more in the wry style than the ROFL style.

But I won't start making any assumptions about an individual member of any specific religous group as a result. Somehow I manage to make the distinction between humour and real life.

[FiftyPence]

I find it more factual than anything

[garcon magnifique]

Funnily enough, looking through that list, quite alot of them were US citizens... maybe we should profile them too.
