It's always about race. It's not about your race, it's about your "religion", dip-wad!

Agreed. I will continue bringing up the fact that the Tsarnaevs were, literally, Caucasian. They were white kids from the Caucasus mountains of Russia. Not Arabs. Ethnic Chechens are not Arabs. They're Muslim Russians. They could have passed for Jewish or Greek. The reason they are reviled is because their actions stemmed from their belief in their murderous cult. Members of Aum Shinrikyo weren't terrorists because they were Asian. They were terrorists because of the actions they took that stemmed from their belief in their murderous cult. Jim Jones' members were of all races; he founded Jonestown in Africa and called his cult the "rainbow family" -- that is, a community of all cultural backgrounds, but all of whom were centered on following the orders of their cult leader. Just because Muhammad is dead and has been for 1,500 years, and because he allegedly "heard the voice of God" and his literate co-conspirators inscribed his teachings in a book that was allegedly "inspired" by divine revelation, doesn't make Islam anything other than a cult of violence and murder. It's not a valid belief system deserving of respect just because it's old and has a lot of members.
Muslims can be of any race. John Walker Lindh was an American from California. Cat Stevens was an Englishman. It's not race. It's cult belief. We need to stop giving Islam protections as a "religion" (I would venture it's time to stop giving any religion carte blanche in the constitution) and start calling it what it is: a cult. You get arrested for preaching death to psychiatrists, you're not going to be let go because you follow Scientology. You're going to be locked up because what you do is pertinent to a dangerous cult, and you don't deserve to be given the benefit of the doubt.
It's time we find a final solution to the Muslim problem.

It looked like a bomb to me and I think the kid wanted his classmates to think it was. Better safe than sorry
