Yeah, what "epidemic" of attacks? Oh, I see, they slipped in "...and planned attacks..." so I guess they know what people are thinking now? I doubt that, and I doubt there's really anyone out there planning an epidemic of attacks. Maybe the odd whack-job here or there, but I'm sure there are whack-jobs out there upset with their local coffee shop too.
You're right though, look for the muslim community to play the victim card loud and long, supported by their libtard friends and MSM.
