Profiling.
The world is a dangerous place and aviation is under the microscope because of what a few lunatics did to innocent. We are all pilots and we deserve to be safe and our students/passengers/cargo/airplanes should be safe as well.
To say that "Muslims" are to blame or are terrorists, that phrase or even the thought is as wrong as two left feet. There are good and bad in every society, culture and religion. It just so happens that all we are shown is the worst part of that world. The few crazies and extremists are disproportionatly shown to us via the media.
We never hear "Timothy McVay a Christian Terrorist", the KKK Christian Terrorists, the European immigrants who massacared the Native Americans and stole their land Christian terrorists, you get the picture.
The issue is that alot of people have a gross misunderstanding of religion. The principals of every religion are virtually the same. Don't rob, cheat, kill, steal, sleep with somebody's wife/husband, and DO all the stuff that is morally correct, shun that which is not. But most killing has been done in the name of Yahweh, Allah, Jesus, etc. Nuts!!! Pull the LABELS off of religion and get around the differnces of EXPRESSION of faiths and you have a common thread.
The fact is that there are loonies all over the world. Profiling is wrong. Everybody should be treated equally under the law. If there is PROOF that a person is a terrorist, I mean EVIDINCE, then that person should be detained. But if they are just a victim of profiling, like my (at that time) 2 year old son at DTW a few years ago...c'mon.
