While the weak hand in the West keeps wringing its hands over political correctness, the case for ethnic and religious profiling in the War Against Islamo-fascism keeps getting stronger. When a Middle Eastern student at UCLA refused to produce identification, and tried to incite a riot on Wednesday, he got what he deserved, the cold taste of a Taser:

“This is a longstanding library policy to ensure the safety of students during the late-night hours,” Greenstein said. “The CSO made an announcement that he would be checking for university identification. When a person, who was later identified as … [Mostafa] Tabatabainejad, refused to provide any identification, the CSO told him that if he refused to do so, he would have to leave the library.

“Since, after repeated requests, he would neither leave nor show identification, the CSO notified UCPD officers, who responded and asked Tabatabainejad to leave the premises multiple times. He continued to refuse. As the officers attempted to escort him out, he went limp and continued to refuse to cooperate with officers or leave the building.

Greenstein said Tabatabainejad encouraged others in the library to join his “resistance.” She said a crowd gathered around the officers.

“The officers deemed it necessary to use the Taser in a ‘drive stun’ capacity,” she said in the statement. “A Taser is used to incapacitate subjects who are resistant by discharging an electronic current into the subject in one of two methods: via two wired probes that are deployed from the Taser, or in a ‘drive stun’ capacity by touching the subject with the Taser. In this incident the student was not shot with a Taser; rather, officers used the ‘drive stun’ capability.
