1) We at CBP scrutinize and inspect every member of the traveling public both fairly and equally.
ha.
We have anti terrorism teams. They're not selecting Muslims. They're selecting people from certain countries, that happen to be Muslim. Per Wikipedia, Indonesia and India have 2 of the top 3 Muslim populations, but those dudes aren't being selected.
Saudi F1s however. All those are bad dudes.
2) The .gov doesn't see many things as "unjust" when it comes to national security. Your threshold is probably a bit lower as to what's deemed acceptable. Ours is not.
On a related note, the majority of questions that we ask, we know the answer to already.
