No, they were not Boy Scouts. No, they were not Swedish exchange students. No, they were not Hasidic jewelers. Right, they were "Islamic" radicals, nuts who have perverted a religion into a random cult of violence against innocent people. Thanks to Norman Mineta, who because of his unfortunate experience as a child after Pearl Harbor is apparently dead set against concentrating on foreigners who are members of this "religious affiliation" responsible for so much terrorism in the world today, all Americans are treated as guilty until proven innocent by TSA's crude methods. And some simpletons think air travel is safer today. Unbelievable!
