Terrorism is random killing of innocent people.

Targeting abortion butchers doesn't qualify.

Neither does targeting government officials. Especially when you're not doing it because you are Christian (Timothy McVeigh.)

Targeting a specific race doesn't qualify (Dylan Roof)

And Anders Breivik doesn't live in this country.

Why would Dylan Roof not qualify? Are you saying the people he killed aren't innocent?

They should sue. They'd win

No, I'm saying it wasn't a random killing.

The 9/11 terrorists didn't know or care who was in the trade towers. That's terrorism.

Targeted assassinations are not terrorism.

Nope.

All persons entering or returning to the U.S. from overseas can be detained and questioned.

If that happens to you, you better check your attitude.

I was detained to make sure my customs declaration was correct.

I was probably chosen on a random basis.

The same thing might have happened to Mohammed Ali, Jr.

Or maybe he was acting suspicious.

Maybe he was arrogant and rude to the officers.

Or maybe he was just randomly checked for no particular reason at all.

If it had to do with his name, so be it.

We SHOULD be profiling and checking people with Muslim names or who appear to be Muslim.

Don't like it?

Then don't come to/stay in this country.

Besides he was returning from Jamaica. Since when should that raise a flag?

Source country for narcotics.
