I'm not being funny, but all you need to do is look at the people who are involved in most of the terrorist all around the world. I'm not saying that ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS!!!!!!! You will never ever hear me say that. I think that muslims (from my experience) are easily some of the nicest and most caring people I have ever met. There is a MASSIVE difference between someone who is muslim and someone who is an extremist. It's sad that muslims end up being labelled as terrorists, when it's only a small portion of them with warped views. I'm easily one of the most open minded people when it comes to religious views. But you cannot deny that a huge portion of the mishaps that go on in the world, are done by muslim extremists.

If a person has extra precautionary measures done to them in an airport, because they are muslim, is that racism? IMO no it's not. It's just unfortunate that they have to go through that, because of these people who make them look crazy. If it were Americans who were the extremists and bombing/decapitating people on a daily basis, I'd be totally understanding if I had to get checked over in an airport. I have been a few times.
