not a direct reply..just a general comment..
If these people make another strike,Islam in America will not be an issue.Self defense is an instinct.not an option.They may be stupid enough and primitive enough to set this up ,but if they are,it is a self destruct.
General response: Most Americans, as I know us, are not all that self destructive. Sure we might all do certain things at different times that tear down our health, but, generally speaking, most of us would do whatever it took to defend our own. I 'spect we all will defend our own.
Alls I can say is I'm glad I ain't muslim, for more reasons than one.
