And this will be used to maximum effect by haters & bigoted scare mongers to cast suspicion on all Muslims. Because—hey, who knows?—it could be anyone of us. That’s not Islamophobia or bigotry, it’s prudence based on real events. Just like profiling black people and/or feeling suspicious/afraid of them because ZOMG there are sooooo many black people in prison, therefore a large percentage of them must be criminals (or at a minimum criminally inclined, even if they haven’t actually done anything illegal—yet.)

Yeah, they focused mainly on how ISIS uses “social media” to recruit, saying for instance those 3 teenage girls in CO must have had some kind of “connection” with “Islamist radicals” online, although it could have been just a matter of too much money available to them and too little parental supervision or knowledge of what they were up to. Where do 15, 16 and 17 yr olds get thousands of $$ to travel as they were doing? Charging it to their credit cards? How were minors even allowed to board an intl flight?
