They say irony died with the Twin Towers. I think sarcasm had a lot to do with it.
Regardless, perhaps there is an increasing issue with home-grown radicalization in America post-9/11. The problem with that is it makes every Muslim a potential "nut job."
No, the problem isn't with religion (i.e. Islam). Much of the problem is social and cultural. What causes radicalization?
