Everyone has agreed that any potential threat should be checked out and taken seriously, and nobody has suggested anyone has to be PC in their commentary.
If people want to profile and discriminate for their own reasons and they own it, that's their choice. Personally, I think school administrators and people in general need to be alert and vigilant, regardless of religion. To date, it's not the Muslims who are doing most of the killing in this country.
And, suggesting that Obama is a secret Muslim agent out to destroy America is batshit to me too.
Declaring that the 14-year-old can't be an inventor because Muslims aren't innovative is nonsense as well. The kid was doing engineering projects and winning contests for his inventions in middle school. Regardless as to how the story plays out, he is in fact innovative, just like the many Muslim software engineers I worked with.
On a related note, Donald Trump committed to a birther that he is looking at how to get rid of the Muslims today.
Plenty of extremist idiocy on both sides.
