What common sense would that be? John Walker Lindh doesn't look like your sterotypical "islamic male" neither does Louis Farrakan or Cassius Clay. Tariq Aziz, former vice-president of Iraq, is a Christian yet he has the sterotypical "islamic male" characteristics.
Common sense shows that islamic males dont have a common appearance therefore profiling for them fails the common sense test.
