Its knowing the difference of intent by whom you come in contact with and keeping a vigilant eye on your surroundings and Respect for the nature of the Beast...Do you Fear the Wild, Bears,Wolves,Cougars, Venomous Snakes and Spiders?
Are you aware that you keep referring to people, based solely on a geographic determinate, as savage, dangerousness animals and a variety of other ignorant blanket statements? Or is it entirely an unconscious response? Based on your own innate fears? You are essentially equating anyone born in that region with ISIS supporters despite the fact that there's no way in hell you could tell the difference between a Lebanese Christian and Syrian Muslim. It's a disingenuous proposition that defies the actual facts. And those facts include the number of attacks on American soil by Muslims is entirely negligible when compared to any other groups who have committed acts of terror here as well as the fact that more innocent Muslims have been killed by drones simply for attending a wedding dwarfs Muslim terror attacks worldwide. I guess fear mongrring is the new version of patriotism these days.
Now are they letting them into the US.....NO, they are not...See whats going on?

Sure, what the Hell does a Middle Eastern Man know about Walmart? Do they have Walmarts in Syria? Seriously? If they were going to blow themselves up anyway, why would they care, other than being recognized, so they can get praise from their Ignorant religion and fanatical Brethren?

Did you see any Middle Eastern men Buying any AK47s and 10,000 rounds of ammo at the Gun Show Too???

Damn, I was at a gun show and saw a Black man buy a pistol and some .38 shells. Yikes.... I wonder if he was a Muslim.
See where this type of paranoia leads?
No you didn't and you wont
Yeah and you think a ME man looking to buy bomb making supplies is going to go to Walmart with cameras everywhere in the store and in the parking lot. Does that make sense to you?
Do you know that their are Mid Eastern Christians and other religions. They aren't all suicide bomber looking to kill people. I guess you need to fear and hate someone and the MsM is generating that fear.
If it's any consolation to you....we will be at war with boots on the Ground very soon, perhaps you can join the military; that is if you can pass the ASVAB....doubtful imo

I never said anything about anyones Appearance, not once. Nor their Ethnicity. ISLAM is many people that Subscribe to the destruction of their definition of THE INFIDEL...That means You/We, that do not Subscribe to their belief. They are merely tolerant of us, up and to that point of our worldly Exit.

Wake up? Don't get angry with me because you're in the corner with your tail between your legs scared to death of a menace you have created in your own mind. Why don't you grow up and stop being an insular fear monger suffering from extreme bouts of xenophobia. I've been to the ME, I've been to Bosnia and I've been to Somalia. Were it not for my Muslim, Iraqi interpreter, I wouldn't have ever left Bosnia. I'll take most of the Muslims I know over the vast majority of judgmental Christians or ignorant Americans who's only experience with the world outside of their insular little lives is the internet. The fact remains that you are railing against people born in the middle east without grasping the minutiae or even attempting to understand the simple fact that walking into a Wal-Mart there's no way in hell you would know the difference between a Macedonian, a Lebanese or a Jordanian let alone know their religion or political stance based solely on appearance.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. —A recent purchase of a large amount of sling shot ammo, similar to BB pellets, and a large amount of replacement box cutter blades at a Lee's Summit, Mo. Walmart, has triggered the attention of the Jackson County Sheriff's Office and federal authorities.
A law enforcement official described the individual as a "middle eastern looking man" to KMBC 9 News' Mike Mahoney.
The cash purchases were made late at night during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, authorities told Mahoney.
A law enforcement official told Mahoney that the items could be elements used for a shrapnel bomb. They also have common every-day uses.
No arrests have been made as no laws have been broken.
Sheriff alerted after man buys many BB pellets and box cutter blades
Oh, this just keeps getting better by the second. We go from Cell phones to Propane bottles, to Laptops, to Sniffing around sensitive areas at Bagnell Dam and Whiteman Air force base, to now, large Bomb making Regalia at another Walmart in Lees Summit Missouri. And by no other, than another Middle Eastern Man. Now I'm not saying that this is Suspicious or a Conspiracy, But come on Folks..,Lets Deny Ignorance. Why are these men not being Collected and Scrutinized with Prejudice?

My only fear is walking into a shrapnel cloud or a hail of bullets from one of your pretend suckabuddies
I didn't write the Article and i wasn't the" Middle eastern Man" The Article Wrote About Buying Large quantities of Suspicious Items. Keep your Suckabuddies and hopefully they wont Blow you Up?

You actually did though. From your own OP...

The descriptor of 'Middle Eastern Man' is entirely based on perceived appearances and to try to claim otherwise is beyond disingenuous.
Oh, and way to go with advocating for the suspension of 4th and 5th amendment rights because your scared like a little girl. They would've loved you in '41 when they started rounding up Japanese Americans! Patriotism at its finest.
Nor their Ethnicity.
No? By repeating 'Middle Eastern Men' in more than 1 reply you didn't really mean to create a blanket statement stereotyping Muslims of ME descent? Bull. I brought up the country of origin etc... to illustrate that you haven't got a clue and do yourself no favors by making massive blanket statements. Can you tell the difference between a Lebanese Christian and a member of Hamas? They will look the same. Do you actually know any Muslims or is the entirety of your familiarity with them based on 2nd and 43rd hand sources? You said Middle Eastern but your Islamophobia was quite evident in your subtext thus I was demonstrating that making blanket statements about people from the ME, which has any number of ethnicities from Arabs to Persians to Semites and Caucasians was beyond ignorant. There are Muslims in every country of the world and they don't all look Middle Eastern. Your level of fear is really quite irrational.
ISLAM is many people that Subscribe to the destruction of their definition of THE INFIDEL...That means You/We, that do not Subscribe to their belief. They are merely tolerant of us, up and to that point of our worldly Exit.
And more ignorant blanket statements. I suppose by that token I should judge all Christians by the actions of the Westboro Baptist Church right? If we're going to hide under the bed, sucking on a binky while the Klan hood is at the dry cleaners, we might as well be equal opportunity offenders right?
My only fear is walking into a shrapnel cloud or a hail of bullets from one of your pretend suckabuddies
Does being an ignorant bigot make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Because you sure do embrace it with arms wide open. I'll take my pretend suckabuddies, whatever that's supposed to mean, over ignorant, racist hillbillies any day.

...Then it was the Latino community, then those who smoke, then the LGBT community, the Latino community again, and now those who appear to be from the middle east, all out of fear and distrust. Religion is used to justify the hatred, persecution and then the outright bigotry of such, and all the while, it is not that said "Bad" group is not considered human, but a label is slapped on, and there you go, they are no longer considered full human, and ultimately are now starting to be seen as something else, and less than.

And who pays the prices for such actions, ultimately those who are totally innocent and who did nothing wrong.

Taking into account that massacres occurring in elementary schools, churches and movie theaters are perpetrated by white, middle class Christian American males, one would have to assume that you are either ethnocentric or simply just uniformed.
