No, it would be foolish to say that others are not capable of terrorism, as it would be foolish to use no security measures when dealing with them.

But we both know the reality of the current situation and I'm sure you would not deny it: if you put two people side by side and one was an old white guy from Wisconson and another was a young guy from Syria, the young guy from Syria is statiscally more likely to be the terrorist than the guy from Wisconson.

This isn't racism, it's reality and it can be used to our advantage if we were willing to do so.
