It seems to me that if you name your son Mohammad, you mean for him  to be religious.  When your last name is Mohammad, you should maybe expect to have them go somewhat radical.  In Europe, Mohammad is the most popular male name for babies.  Aren’t you pretty much pushing an agenda with this.  Can you then claim that you were surprise when the boy took an extremist bent, wanting to blow up the infidels?  I guess you have no control over your last name, but if you name your son Fred, I think he might be less inclined to radicalism.  I really do not understand this prevalence of naming your son after the prophet.  In Dearborn, MI, when a mother comes to the front door and calls for her son, how many Mos look up.  It seems confusing and presumptuous all at the same time.  Of course, my son Jesus and his twin brothers, Cain and Abel belies no agenda on my part.

When I boarded my flight out last week from a small nearby airport, I was patted down by a woman.  It wasn’t a problem.  My only wonder was why I was chosen for pat down since I didn’t set off the metal detector.  I would also easily do the x-ray thing that gives someone a pretty good look at everything.  I am willing to do both these things as necessary to have the privilege of flying somewhere.  If you don’t want either experience, then travel a different way.  The groin check is now necessary due to the underwear bomber from last Christmas. I will be very pissed off if there is an exception made for Muslim women. Flying is a privilege, not a right. If they need to see what is in my jeans, then they need to see what is going on under the burqa.
