Now that I think about it, this article seems semi-pointless to me.

We know that extreme Islam is a threat. However, the acts of savagery those people commit in response to cartoons are already illegal; torching buildings and killing people are not legal activities. Why do we need more laws or ideals or principles? We don't. We need resolve. We need to be able to wage war against terrorists without caving in to accusations of suppressing someone's religion. It's not about law, we've got plenty of that. It's about the willingness to win the war. We're not out to get Islam; we're out to get people who torch buildings, commit terrorist acts, and kill people, for whatever reason.

"We need resolve."

Exactly. Just because it's hard to allow a religion while tracking down and killing the crazies who murder in it's name doesn't absolve us from doing it. We could use more help from Muslims who don't support violence, but at the very least we need to call Islamic terrorism what it is and wipe it out.

Wonderful sentiments, but...

Islam is the reason
for the treason!
