I wonder how much of this stems from being guilty of "worshiping while brown."
I mean, you follow and prod young American Muslims and it's just a matter of time before you find a radical. It's more or less the practice of weeding out the alienated youth of American Muslim society.
But instead of finding solutions as to why they become alienated or how to reintegrate them into wider society, they find out ways to criminalize them to neutralize them as "potential threats."
