Global Voices Online, an excellent international blog, has a post that includes a quote from a Jordanian doctor in the U.S. who is concerned about racial profiling in the wake of the foiled UK bomb plots. This article in general questions the guilt-by-association method of finding conspirators–to share a country and a classroom might make one look involved. Yet another aspect to remember, however, is that smaller countries will have less schools and smaller classes. It might be difficult Not to know a person who eventually commits a crime. We need to crank down the fear a little–that alone might help us defeat terrorism.
GVO also refers to this post at Mental Mayhem on the same subject.
