Stop calling people who disagree with you dolts, mouth-breathers and children. You have a right to your opinion, others have a right to theirs. And the opinion of many here, that there is far too much attention paid to 'anti-Muslim backlash' and far too little to Muslim atrocities, has been created by events and actions, not by prejudices.

It would be good if we started calling the Islamist terrorists Jihadis, instead of Muslims, to differentiate them from the peaceful Muslims in this country. However, the Jihadis use the Muslim community as cover, and even the peaceful Muslims seem content to allow them to do so (or perhaps they are afraid for their lives).

To ignore the self-identification of the terrorists as Islamist is foolish. It is a helpful characteristic with which to detect and deter future atrocities. It MUST be recognized and used.

Also, 'laws' against terrorism are no longer enough. This has gone beyond a crime wave, and into war. There's a whole different set of rules in our Constitution for dealing with combatants in a war situation, versus mere criminals.

Further, Christ is our example and way-shower, a man of peace and love. The same cannot be said for Mohammad. Those who misrepresented Christ have been removed from power in Christianity. When the same happens with Islam, they will have made the first step toward acceptability in our modern world. But not until then.
