The Joys of Entrapment

We can all sleep a little easier tonight knowing that the U.S. Government is patrolling Facebook for impressionable young minds. Muhammad Hussein (Antonio Martinez) is clearly an angry and perhaps confused kid. Was Hussein a threat to our freedom or safety? Doubtful. When approached by FBI officials to start planning a terror attack, he suggested stuffing socks into the tailpipes of officers vehicles.
How dangerous could he really be? For a moment, consider he was discovered because he made some inflammatory posts on Facebook and has no knowledge of terror tactics as indicated by the FBI. If terrorist groups really recruited in the same way, we would have no fear of the next 9-11; we would see it coming a mile away. If you give the average male teen a bomb and tell him to go attack who he perceives as his enemy chances are he’s going to consider detonating it, if only to see it go boom. Couple that with what I’m sure was at least some healthy encouragement from the FBI and instantly your confused kid becomes public enemy number 1. In the end, we all feel safer for knowing we weren't safe at all and American kids are becoming radicalized everyday by the FBI. Why don't we start giving bombs to white supremacists that say they want to blow up the projects? Why don't we give a faux nuke to Tea partiers who believe the government has gotten too big? We won't do that because we have already taken the pill and we're well on our way to fulfilling the agenda of those who wish to vilify and marginalize Islam for political gain.

P.S.
I understand that the majority of people who make anti-Islamic statements have little understanding of Islam. The Americans against Islam movement is generally what’s en-vogue; however the consequence of such a pursuit has lasting effects especially when perpetrated against our own youth.
