Terror Over Detroit: An ABC News Special Report

On December 25, 2009, Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab attempted to blow up Northwest Flight 253 over Detroit, Michigan. ABC News subsequently ran a special on his attempt at terrorism. This video not only shows that special, but offers a strong suggestion that the present U.S. policy to fight terrorism is a failure, and that a fundamental shift in thinking must be made toward profiling. Refusal to make that shift will only result in the eventual success of an upcoming act of terror.

ok, look, dude--You first have to learn about the truth, to spread what you think is the truth. i strongly advise you meet and talk to a muslim imam (leader) to understand what Islam really is. islam actually stems from the word "salam", which in absolute technicality, means "peace". these people who are doing these acts of terrorism are something else; they are brainwashed by wrong people to go and kill people in the name of islaam. ask the average muslim--we all condemn such acts.

First of all, my name is not "dude." Second, if Jesus said he was the truth, and I know Jesus, then those advocating something contrary to the truth are living a life of falsehood. Third, Islam doesn't mean peace. It means submission, even if that means by force. That has been true since the day Muhammad created the religion of Islam. Fourth, in order to condemn Islamic acts of violence, one must renounce the religion of Islam as well. For some reason, I can't find your renunciation. Why?

Let the Day come.

If that's the best response you have, then you really ought to be rethinking just what it is that you're hoping for.

Well, some of the Nigerians are terrorists, but only because of the Islamic ideology that fuels their "craziness."

That's why I'm advocating that we start profiling these characters. For by doing so we can keep the crazies off the planes and from exploding them in mid-air or into buildings.

Ok, so let's say that I convert to Christianity. Even as a freakin terrorist Muslim, am I completely forgiven for my past sins since now I believe that Jesus is my one true Lord?

Just wondering...

abdulmutallab only allowed himself to be used by devil and devil incarnates at the expense of his life and a promising future; he was born in Lagos a hub with western live styles and of course a non fantical muslim family.I wondered how he could have fallen to cheap brain-washing.May God help his soul

Nigerians are not terrorists, there are almost 50million christians there... this guy has definitely gone crazy
