In Islamist terrorism we face a violent and highly contagious madness that believes the killing of civilians is a moral act. Whatever this is, it is not a clash of civilizations. The concept of "civilization" scarcely comes into it. Nor is it a struggle between competing sets of values, or a religious war, or a battle with an alien culture. There is no debate here - as there was in the Cold War - about how it is best for men to live: the enemy has stated explicitly that it does not revere life at all. On the contrary, it is in love with self-inflicted death, which it sees as the highest moral achievement.

We need a unified front to combat this menace.
After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding this
to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our turn is
coming again soon. We stand united against Islamic
extremists, oxymoron or not.
ISIS are the stormtroopers of Islam; there’s no sense trying to split hairs, here, as if there were some legitimate way to draw a bright line of distinction between Islam and ISIS. That conversation ran the full length of its course here at FR during GWB’s tenure in The White House, starting with his own baseless, post-9/11 assertions as to Islam being a religion of peace. History roundly mocks the notion, current events lay it into its grave; the argument is a dry hole. No, sadly we must all face up to the reality that there is no Islam that does not dinner the rise of forces like ISIS, and as we clearly see that the fruit of the tree is poisonous, we must admit that the tree itself is a never-ending source of it, and bring the axe to its roots.

You are incorrect, the majority are not good people. The majority of Muslims believe in Sharia Law. Sharia Law will destroy any and all democratic nations without exception.
Below link is from Pew Research and they are left of center. They have explanations and a bar graph that will terrify you. The bar graph is percentages by nation that believe in Sharia Law.
Caesar suppressed Druidism in Gaul by policy, and Ostorius Scapula (or was it Paulus?) did it in Britain, by penning up the Druids on Anglesey and wiping them out utterly in a battle of annihilation.
The British imperials had plenty of experience with the Fuzzy Wuzzies in the Sudan and wiped them out. It's inexcusable that their successors should be "surprised" by Moslem atrocities in British home turf. They knew what those people are like.

They already were a death cult, to anyone paying attention. Burning people alive, beheading for film, etc.
Teaching young children to cut off heads of adults.
Not only a death cult but evil.
One thing is certain, Americans are armed to the teeth.
AMEN.

Unfortunately we live in an age of atheism, narcissism and ego, in which few individuals recognize anything larger than self; if it did not effect them personally, it may as well have been a movie or video game. The plight of others a continent away must not interfere with updating one's facebook status or catching the latest episode of the latest reality TV series.
