Point is that it IS Muslims who are waging Jihad against the rest of the world and are a real threat. If it's bigotry in your mind to profile them then you need to rethink some things. OK..not ALL Muslims, but if you have paid attention in the past few weeks you know that a huge percentage of American Muslims directly or tacitly support jihad and damn few have denounced it.
It's nonsense to search Irish Nuns in wheel chairs at airports so as to be PC and not offend the delicate sensibilities of Muslims. It's damn well time to profile Muslims. Be very polite, but do it. They will have to understand and get over it.
Sorry for your past experiences with bigotry...truly.

It's not about being PC. I was born and raised in Germany. Traveled on a US Military passport till I was 20. Ever go through security in a German airport?
They check everyone. Maybe they profile and check some harder than others but the minimum level of scrutiny makes our "inconveniences" pale in comparison.
My point is if you really want to be safe then DO NOT make distinctions based on profiles. It's stupid. You'll catch who you are looking for but will miss the rest. And it won't be long till an Irish Nun in a wheel chair becomes a "martyr".
Now as far as ALL Muslims being a threat? 22% of the worlds population are Muslim, second only to the 33% who are Christian. If they ALL wanted to get us we'd already be totally fuched.
