By the looks of his website, he looks like any other young radical jihadis. I would be curious as to what the tattoo under the cover patch says.
Not that Im profiling or anything like that......

O’Reilly said although the man had recently visited Lebanon, he was cautious to indicate there was a larger terrorism issue brewing so close to the Sept. 11 anniversary.

I don't care what anyone says, LEO's profile. I don't see anything wrong with it either. If it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck, and quacks like a duck then you tell me.
I'm sick and tired of everyones feelings getting hurt. Suck it up and get over it. Nowhere in the Constitution or any other government document does it say that you have the right to not get your feelings hurt.

Let's just keep this case in mind every time we (NRA gun-packing types) say things like:
Open carry should be perfectly legal, and no basis for a police stop.
Any gun, every gun, any time, anywhere. Guns are always legal.
Police have no business restricting access to weapons based on religion or creed (if it's said about the Branch Davidians, should it be said of the radical Muslims, too?)
There's nothing illegal, immoral, or suspicious about carrying a military carbine or battle rifle in your vehicle. Nobody should be detained by the cops just for exercising their Second Amendment rights!
I will STILL say that. BUT if I am sneaking around in the park with a firearm in my hands and my face camoed out . . .
I would expect to be questioned.
If in violation of the law, I would expect to be arrested.
That is what looks like happened here.
There is no clue that anybody knew the guy in the bushes in camo with a rifle was muslim.
Gunsmoker, NOBODY has contended that police should not stop suspicious people. The contention has been that the police should not stop people simply because they have a gun.
That is not what happened in this case.
No hypocrisy here.
If I wear a ski mask and am peaking in the windows of a store near closing time, I expect to get stopped.
If I am buying a gallon of milk while openly carrying, I do not expect to get stopped.

but Muslims don't have rights. Nor do any other American citizens, since the Patriot Act. We still get "No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law," though. Woo!
