Are they Muslims

No.

and the news is making a huge deal of the "20 pounds of explosive material" in the house.
in reality 20 pounds of explosive material is nothing... stop by any farm in MN and you'll find a hell of a lot more than 20 pounds of 'explosive material'. How many re-loader have more than that in their house right now? sure - if it was 20 pounds of c-4 or some other 'specialized' explosive, that might be impressive - but I smell a serious liberal media spin on this one. And what exactly were the 100+ explosive devises? 100 rounds of ammo would be 100 'explosive devices'.

I'm not saying these people didn't do anything wrong - I just don't trust the damn media - especially not in MN...

I have >75# of a STRONG OXIDIZER at my home, which, combined with the right substances could damage more than mailboxes.

100+ blackcats on a fuse isn't too uncommon 'round my parts either.

If I had a teenager who pulled a stupid prank like busting a mailbox, I suppose I'd be labeled a terrorist by the media's standards.
