History Lesson
One of my friends sent me this e-mail:

HISTORY TEST
Please pause a moment, reflect back, and take the following multiple choice test. The events are actual Events from history. They actually happened!
Do you remember?

1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by:
a. Superman
b. Jay Leno
c. Harry Potter
d. a Muslim male extremist between the ages of 17 and 40

2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and
massacredby
a. Olga Corbett
b. Sitting Bull
c. Arnold Schwarzenegger
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by:
a. Lost Norwegians
b. Elvis
c. A tour bus full of 80-year-old women
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

4. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by:
a. John Dillinger
b. The King of Sweden
c. The Boy Scouts
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by:
a. A pizza delivery boy

d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by:

7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver
trying to rescue passengers was murdered by:
a. Captain Kidd
b. Charles Lindberg
c. Mother Teresa
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

8. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by:
a. Scooby Doo
b. The Tooth Fairy
c. Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by:
a. Richard Simmons
b. Grandma Moses
c. Michael Jordan
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

13. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by:
a. Bonnie and Clyde
b. Captain Kangaroo
c. Billy Graham
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

Nope, ..I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with
metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone....lest they be guilty of profiling.

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other douche bag attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves -- if they have any
such sense. As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it,
Stupid is as stupid does."

Come on, people, wake up!!! Keep this going. Pass it on to everyone in your address book. Our Country and our troops need our support.

And guess who just bombed London?

Because whites, blacks, hispanics, asians and everyone else excluding male Muslims between the ages of 17 and 40 never break the law? All this argument implies is that this demographic is the only one that breaks the law, murders, and terrorizes people.
But it don't take much to get me by
So just booze me up and get me high

Muslim Males are the primary source of the worlds terrorist acts... I'll admit that much.

I'm not disagreeing with you. All I'm trying to point out is that RHS isn't necessarily wrong, but this "history lesson" implies all the wrong things. It says we need to racially profile Muslim males because they are the only demographic that kills innocent people and does terrible things. However, this is simply not true. Yes, they should be scrutinized. But that's not what this lesson is saying. Go ask a Muslim male who is a good American how he feels about this history lesson.

Don't worry about it. It's natural for either of us to act this way when we have mostly opposite views.
