Greetings from you-rope.
Amusing post, but I have several problems with it. Quite apart from the (IMHO) simplistic, quasi-rasist, knee-jerk tone.
The inconvenient truth that's uppermost in my mind is that several of the suspects arrested in the UK were quite plainly not "Middle Eastern."
Just like would-be-shoe-bomber Richard Reid, at least four of the suspects didn't have a middle-eastern genetic makeup. What's that you say? Reid had dusky skin? Well his dad was Jamaican. I seem to remember a large body of water and some other stuff between Jamaica and, say, Pakisan.
Oh, and BTW, you probably should sprinkle the word "allegedly" in #23 (and #24 for all I know). Unless of course you believe those arrested on charges of terrorism should be assumed guilty until proven innocent.
richi.
