I understand that this is the dogma of the political ideology that you subscribe to, which you are not allowed to question.

I am not sure what dogma you think I belong to......if you think I am a "pinko", I am not......however, I am against making assumptions or conclusions based on a person's exterior.

I am just pointing out that it makes no sense.

Profiling can be very dangerous because you decide to exclude Brit. nannies and that's the person OBL has chosen to do his next dirty deed because he figures no one will suspect.

As far as not reaching incorrect conclusions, conclusions come later after examining evidence.

Let me describe it differently. Think Gary Kasparov vs. computer chess player. The reason he is able to beat the computer many times (or at least be competitive) is because of "profiling" of possible moves. His brain power can process a fraction that is almost infinitesible of the possibilities. His power comes from rejecting out of hand the vast majority of doubtful actions, while concentrating his mind on examining the most fruitful moves.

But this isn't a game of chess and we are not competing against a logical computer but rather a religious ideologue whom I find to be much more dangerous.
