"But we must be prepared for the Islamists to hit a Western church or temple."
You bet that this is going to happen! They want to turn this into a religious war, and they may well be able to do it if they start blowing churches.
Interesting, as already mentioned, they have no qualms about overunning Christian churches and killing people during worship services. I suspect a major attack against one or many churches in Italy....then at some time in the future...stateside...

No qualms at all. But we already knew that. We must be ready.

start blowing churches. I am reminded of an old song from Sunday School:
The church is not a building,
The church is not a steeple,
The church is not a resting place,
The church is a people.
While I cannot remember the exact text, there is a reference in the Bible about the temples being destroyed and the people of God not caring.
Frankly, the damage a mad bomber can do is of no eternal value...compared to the harm our churches are doing to themselves these days.
