this is one of the many situations where maher is certainly not wrong, but he's certainly not right, either.

the reality is that you have to check a package like this, regardless. not because of the kid's religion. but, because it's a suspicious package. i'm not prioritizing and picking and choosing columbine over isis if i see a kid with what looks like a suitcase bomb. i'm stopping that kid and asking questions, regardless of race, creed or colour. we all know that middle class, christian white kids are perfectly capable of carrying out school massacres. and, what reason is there to tie a possible attack to the religion, anyways? muslim kids certainly aren't immune to isolation or taunting.
