"Muslim teen turns security incident into opportunity"

The Boston Herald contains an article on Hala Saadeh, a very impressive Muslim high school student, who was removed from a "commuter rail train for being a suspicious person." Later, Saadeh received a scholarship from the American Civil Liberties Union; she has also been speaking at conferences and universities, including Harvard. Sadeeh notes:
to put a stigma against them (Arabs and Muslims) is unfair. History just plays itself to different ethnic groups. It's disheartening that people don't learn from history.... I feel like it's upon me to educate people. There are bad people in every type of group.
