...Earlier this week, a British born Muslim, Saajid Badat, 25, who had grown up in Gloucester, confessed he had gone to Pakistan and picked up kit to be a shoe bomber with the intention of blowing up an American aircraft over the Atlantic. He had been an associate of Richard Reid, the notorious †œshoe bomberÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã‚Â from Britain who is now serving a life sentence. Badat later changed his mind.
Early pictures of Badat show him as a football loving Grammar School boy in Gloucester but recent photographs reveal a full Islamic beard. His family came to Britain from Malawi.

Not only do islamic terrorists by definition claim to belong to the Islamic faith (see article), they also seem to be going out of their way to look like they belong.
Is it any wonder that 'looking like the enemy' ends up being the benchmark upon which we base our suspicions?
