Police Foil Plot to Bomb Synagogues, and Attack Air Base.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/22/nyregion/22terror.html One thing that is first apparant to me is that none of these perpetrators are Arab. Most, if not all, are black. One is a Haitian. Haiti is not a predominately muslim country. So as you should all be able to see, we can not accurately profile potential terrorists based upon ethnic background. Since most muslims in this country are actually black, most of whom converted to Islam. And many Arabs, and Persians, are christians who've come here to escape persecution. A problem with some of the converts to Islam is that they are being indoctrinated by extremist preachers. These new believers do not know any better, and on top of that are eager to prove themselves as dedicated muslims. They are therefore ideal candidates for terrorism. And also many prison inmates are readily converting to Islam as well. Since these men already have a record of violent crime, they might think nothing of commiting more violence, in the name of there new found faith. The American people need to realise that many born muslims are good natured, and that some converts might become misguided in there religious zeal. One notable example of what I'm talking about is Aukai Collins http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aukai_Collins. Though, as far as I know, he did not commit atrocities, he was recruited to jihad, after being converted while in prison. Oh, and incidently he's white too. Just like John Walker Lindh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Walker_Lindh. So in conclusion, islamists can come in all colours, from different backgrounds. And we need to encourage people, muslims in particular, to speak out against militant extremism, and inform the propper authorities about any possible terrorist plots.
