| Trump: 'US should consider profiling against crime....look at Israel' |
| 2016-06-20 |
| [BBC] The presumptive Republican candidate in the US presidential election, Donald Trump, has suggested the country should consider using profiling to combat crime. Mr Trump made the remarks when asked if he supported more profiling of Muslims in the US, in the context of last week's shooting at an Orlando gay club. Profiling uses ethnicity, race and religion to determine whether a person has or is likely to commit crimes. Critics say it could alienate Muslims. In an interview with CBS, Mr Trump said other countries had "successfully" adopted the measure. "You look at Israel and you look at others, and they do it and they do it successfully," he said. |

| #3 Loretta Lynch said she wants to thoroughly profile the dead Omar Mateen. Why not profile these jihadi boneheads before they commit some horrific act? |
