As police searched for a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, one Saudi man was heavily guarded at the hospital. Later, federal officials would search his home and interview his roommate. Finally, a day later, officials announced that he was not a suspect, but a witness. “What made them suspect him?” “Was it just the way he looked, or did he, in the chaos maybe call for God with a name that someone found strange?” We get so close to being selfless, compassionate and unafraid in times of tragedy, but then we profile people without caution. “What’s missing?” “Is it humility?”
