IAC about Freeman being a jerks, but...

Some of them are, so we should be suspicious; political correctness is the problem."

This is just common sense. It's like you think national security should be scrapped on faith and goodwill in humanity.

First of all, Freeman went in for some pretty aggressive stereotyping with his comment.

Secondly, I'd say there's a middle ground between suspicion and willful blindness, and it's that middle ground we should be aiming for. Statistically, one is not more likely to come to harm at the hands of a Muslim terrorist than they are to come to harm at the hands of a Westerner, so suspecting middle eastern immigrants of "having guns and wanting to kill your family" without actual cause is more likely motivated by xenophobia than common sense.

Thirdly, I question a person's priorities when they choose to talk about western society's problem of excessive political correctness, rather than western society's problem with racism and discrimination.

Also, I do find it interesting that people are fearful of the stereotypical Islamic terrorism, when there are more common forms of terrorism. In America, every other day there is a mass shooting. The vast majority of these are not to do with Islamic terrorism.
In England, from what I gather, there are a lot of stabbings.
Domestic violence around the world is incredibly high.
The fact is, most people have a far greater chance of being killed by someone they know than a stranger.
So yeah, be wary of your loved ones, I guess, because they're going to be the ones to end your life, more often than not.
