Oh, not a Fox follower? You surely do sound like one.

I don't watch TV. You are making a claim with zero evidence just like the ones crying Islamophia with zero evidence.
This controversy is generally being framed as a choice between saying that school officials didn’t overreact or that they acted out of “Islamophobia,” as professional victim Haroon Mogul hysterically insists here.

Actually, there is a third option. I believe that MacArthur High School officials ridiculously overreacted, but not because of “Islamophobia,” but because of the general hysteria over school shootings that has led principals and teachers nationwide to react stupidly to innocuous actions.

Got plenty of evidence in your case.

Nice to see you limit your bigotry to Muslims.
Ha ha, there's that word again.

Gee If you look at something that beeps or ticks and there are no explosives attached, then it is not likely to go "BOOM" unless someone attached a speaker and a recording. If there are explosives attached, it most likely is a bomb. Tough to figure that out, right?

Not if you have the new ultramicrominiaturized explosives. A teeny little bit too small to see has the power of 200 kg (440 lbs.) of TNT. That's why it's so fiendishly difficult for our board terrorism experts to tell the difference.

Well, either that or they're stupid.
