quote:


The anti-terrorist ideology that has sprung up after September 11 has served to validate that strategy further. This time in the name of the nation, in the name of patriotism, in the name of assimilation. So that everybody who is foreign, especially non-whites and Muslims and Arabs in particular, is, per se a terrorist and is guilty till proven innocent.

I once said of black people that we carry our passports on our faces. Today the refugees and asylum seekers have no passports and no faces - they are terrorists.
