A question I have asked myself over the years is “Why hasn’t it happened here?”

I suspect part of the reason is that we as a society are very well armed. But that doesn’t really answer the question.

Part of it is that we're armed. Part of it is that they do NOT want to shift public opinion in the US into a generalized hatred of Muslims. They want to intimidate the government into adopting certain measures, using the threat of more attacks.

Visualize the effect on the Muslim world if the US populace started to hate Muslims in general, to the level where if Kenyans started killing Muslims, the general reaction here might be "Good! They had it coming!"

If the US had not intervened in Bosnia during the Clinton years, the Serbs might just have done an ethnic cleansing. The only thing stopping such in some parts of the world, is concern that the US would be very displeased.

Not in public places in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts or Connecticut. Damned near impossible to get a carry permit in those states.
