Statistics support the need to profile Muslims; or, the “Founding Fathers” would have supported the notion that: “The Rights of the Many Supercede the Rights of the Few!”

With as much proof as there is that a Muslim is much more likely to harm the public than are members of any other group, profiling Muslims is the right thing to do.
Profiling Muslims does not suggest that Muslims are bad people, what it does say is that there are more Muslim believers who are eager to hurt Americans, than are members of any other known group. It is our belief that even though there are many more good Muslims than those who wish to hurt Americans, the number of those Muslims who which to cause harm to non-Muslims is large enough to represent an ongoing danger to the American people.
For example, treating adult Muslims who travel on airline in the same manner as the authorities treat other passengers, represent a “clear and present danger,” to the flying public. It is time to put in place a method of profiling Muslims. Profiling should be done without damaging the personal dignity of those being profiled, but profiling must become a routine part of protecting the American public.
The charade of checking an old caucasian man at an airport with the same intensity, or often more, than the checking the viral twenty-two-year-old young Muslim man, does not represent closer compliance with the Constitution, it rather is an act, a theatrical act that simply hurts the American people.
“Political correctness,” has its place, it is not however appropriate at the expense of public safety, or even convenience. It is time for the US to own up to its responsibility and start profiling Muslims, do so with dignity, and do so based on science, but do so without delay before another 9/11 occurs!
