Essay / Research Paper Abstract
3 pages in length. The interpretive nature of how the LAPD attempted to gain information about the Muslim community for the antiterrorist agenda is what resides at the core of this civil rights issue and the primary reason why the operation was halted. The single most damning aspect of the strategy was an arbitrary understanding of what the word "moderate" meant within the context of flushing out vulnerable individuals who may have the potential for becoming mixed up with Iraqi fundamentalists? To what extent did personal opinion play a role in determining someone's moderate stance if he merely stated how wrong he thought the war was? Would that be considered a veiled threat to the safety of the United States? The level of subjectivity inherent to this type of broad-brushed operation cast the LAPD in a very awkward and inappropriate situation whereby their actions can indeed be construed as religious profiling. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

inherent to this type of broad-brushed operation cast the LAPD in a very awkward and inappropriate situation whereby their actions can indeed be construed as religious profiling (MacFarquhar, 2007).
Examining Marilyn Fryes definition of oppressed incorporates the two principles of harm and privilege as markers by which one can truly assess whether or
not a particular group is under the control of another group (Cudd, 2006). Profiling is a form of labeling a certain group for the actions of but a few;
founded under the concept of "one bad apple," this approach to oppression makes a sweeping generalization that anyone of a given religious, cultural or social sect are potential perpetrators merely
by association. This reflects the harm principle of this situation, inasmuch as there are no suspected individual(s) upon which the LAPD should focus but rather the entire Muslim community
would have a trolling net cast over it in the hopes of randomly uncovering those whose ability to assimilate into society appeared difficult and, therefore, establish them as potential loose
cannons for the influence of terrorism. The privilege condition of Fryes definition is found in the way Americans would benefit from the squelching of Muslim civil rights. At the
