@smartcooky:
I side with the Israelis almost every time, I'm just not willing to say that anything they do is beyond reproach.
As far as the list of terrorist incidents you described, it does not get you any closer to a good answer on risk management when dealing with a randomly selected Arabic (or Muslim, for that matter). You are making a fundamental error in conditional probability.
Given someone you already know is a terrorist, the chances are currently quite high that they are a Muslim extremist.
However, compare the probability that randomly selected Muslim A and randomly selected non-Muslim B are terrorists, then the difference is so small as to be a waste of time worrying about. There are far more likely risks worth your concern.
