irrelevant. my assumption directly correlates to your statement that you fear implied racism more than actual terrorists.

Cue the person who is going to bring out that old chestnut "Just tell me how many people in this Country are cutting of the heads of people?"

My reply had absolutely nothing to do with racism. Muslims come in all colors believe it or not.

My understanding is that those radicals who wish to commit terroristic acts almost always plan to die in said attack. If so, what does it matter if they have their face covered when they do it or not?

The brothers in Boston were not covering their face, the 911 attackers did not cover their face. In fact, I don't know of any terrorist attack here where someone had their face covered.

You got in before my edit...

But I still see no significance of a covered face if you plan to die anyway. And those in france where surprised that they had not been killed. People who commit everyday crimes here don't even bother to cover their face.

Edit...

But even if someone is planning commit a crime of terrorism? And they do wear a full covering the days before, or the day of, what difference would that make at all? And based on out LEO penchant for profiling, I would think wearing it would put them at a disadvantage .

Even Halloween fans CAN'T go into stores On Halloween day with their faces covered, at least here in Arizona.

To pknopp: please stop it; there ain't a "Muslim" race. If you're talking about Arabs: they ain't a special race either, they're counted as anglo white here in Arizona unless they came from LatAm, then they'd be "Hispanic". Too; many Arabs ain't Muslim either, they're usually some kind of Christian.

Nothing I have said had anything to do with racism.
