There are millions of Muslims living in the US. If CBP detains citizens merely for living with Muslims, why aren't we flooded with stories like this?
I'm a million percent sure you shouldn't have been detained. I have zero confidence in CBP and even less in our "transportation security" regime. I'm just questioning the specific causality you've invoked.
They have limited resources, so it is well possible that only few random people will be hit and willing to talk about it. My understanding is that muslims are watched very closely.

We don't know other details about the commenter's file with CBP that could cause them to think he's suspicious.

Your understanding is that millions and millions of Americans are "watched very closely"? There are a lot of Muslim citizens.
Maybe he was living with an actual (or suspect) terrorist member?
