Need help.

In this politically correct world, I need help.

Is it profiling if I take note, and report, men and women wearing burkas and carpet skull caps if they are engaged in target practice at our local gun ranges?

Along that same vein, I am tired of politicians, bureaucrats, newspapers, and talking heads telling me I am scared of ISIS. In fact, neither me nor any of my friends are scared of ISIS. However, I would characterize ourselves as highly pissed.

I find it very bizarre if you actually reported men/women wearing burkas/skull caps for being at the gun range. Do you know those skull caps are worn in many countries by many different people? Including in Russia, China and India? Would you know a Sikh from a Muslim? A fundamentalist Jewish woman in the burka-like shawl. How about Sephardic women? Would you know a Persian from an Arab? Would you know a Muslim ally from an extremist? A U.S. Muslim soldier or veteran from any other? Who might be at the gun range with a brother/sister/mother/father?

So if you did that are you profiling? Hell yeah! Are you engaging in suspicion and possibly discrimination based on fear? Yep. You are. Are you, like so many, reacting out of too much fear news and too much barker politics? Sadly yes.

Thousands more Muslims are suffering and dying from extremists in their religion. Thousands are our allies and fighting against them. On percentages alone you are much more likely to cross paths at a gun range with a good ol' American like the kind who shot and killed Chris Kyle. Or like the two who killed the police officers and CHL in Las Vegas.

In fact you are more likely to be shot by a CHL carrier as you can see if you do a bit of research just on "Walmart Shooters". Or a White Supremacist. But the news won't be titling them with their religion. Even when it's tied to their religion. And they certainly won't be calling them Christian terrorists.

So if you are going to be afraid of something, make it fear of a witch hunt mentality. Or rather emotionality, since it has little to do with using one's ... Skull.
