Muslims and PC  By J.R. Dunn  The major problem facing American
Muslims today is not active prejudice or government harassment;
it's political correctness.  PC has been the governing force in
relations with the American Muslim umma since 9/11, if not
before. It is the sole reason why dubious and litigious groups
like The Council on American—Islamic Relations CAIR),�have
become the chief representatives of the Muslim community, why
'racial profiling', the sole rational method of preventing
terrorist infiltration, has been effectively banned (Arabs and
Persians being Caucasian, it would have to be 'ethnic
profiling', but... ooh never mind), why any critical or even
debatable reference to Muslims or Islam in general has been
carefully excised from public discourse — at least as far as

a major role in the three latest collisions between Muslims and
American society at large. Umar Abdul—Jal
