(Newser) – Republican James Inhofe is all for racial profiling, political correctness be damned, he told a Senate committee hearing today on the Fort Hood shootings. Why? Because “all terrorists are Muslims or Middle Easterners.” Check the video above for the Oklahoman’s statement.

Mr. Inhofe is the male version of a Sarah Palin who makes stupid statements;"Like all terrorist are Muslim or Middle Eastern. So here is my question for Senator Inhofe; The IRA(Irish Republican Army) is a terrorist organization, are they Middle eastern or Muslim? ETA(Spain) is a terrorist organization, are they Muslim or Middle Eastern? The Mao separatists in Nepal are a terror organization, are they Middle Eastern or Muslim? Hutaree Militia in Michigan is a terrorist organization, are they Middle Eastern or Muslim? There Middle Eastern that are Hebrew and belong to Jewish terrorist organizations, but I guess that sits okay with you as well. Tim McVeigh who bombed the federal building in your home state was a terrorist and we know for a fact that he was neither Muslim nor Middle Eastern. Israel Mossad just carried out an assassination of a diplomat in Dubai by a terrorist hit squad. None who committed that murder were Muslim or Middle Eastern. They were Jewish and European. Terrorists come in all shapes, sizes, religions and ethnic origins. Terrorists are known by their methods, their associations, their behavior, not because they are not like you and not because they are Muslim or just from the Middle East. And the shootings at Ft.Hood were triggered because the Israeli Mossad has been operating an assassination training program there for the past 6 years in cooperation with the U.S. Army (I have the classified documents describing the operation) to murder Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan and throughout the Middle East. This program was brokered by Undersecretary of Defense Paul Wolforwitz, who also is neither Middle eastern nor Muslim. He’s a Jew!.

You are a fool, out. This is the way this war is being foisted on us. Please don't tell me there is no war and please don't tell me that this was out choice. I get so damn tired of hearing your ignorant drivel whether it's from you or the ones that (don't) think like you.

Of course not all Muslims are terrorists but the vast majority of terrorists in the world for the past couple of decades have been Muslims . If you can refute this I will listen. And please don't bring up McVeigh or the Unibomber or the IRA. I said the VAST majority.
