Thank you so much for your post!

I suspect the Administration has been trying to keep people from taking the law into their own hands ever since 9/11.

IMHO, if a WMD annihilated hundreds of thousands in our homeland - then every person going into or out of a mosque, or with an Arab last name or even a different hue - could become fodder. A lot of innocent people would be lost in the heat of such retaliation.

"A lot of innocent people would be lost in the heat of such retaliation."

And it would be sad - tragic - if it were to come to pass. It is too bad that the "moderate" and "peaceful" faction of Islam does not stand up vigorously denounce the "heretics" that are giving Islam such a bad image, even though Western Civilization is begging on hands and knees for a reason not to retaliate against all of Islam.

But I think they cannot. As long as the jihadis can claim they are fighting for Islam, the rest of the Islamic world cannot truly oppose them - due to constraints within Islam itself that legitimize any act against infidels. And so a tragedy of epic proportions is about to befall Islam, Western Civilization, or both.
