I wonder if if isn't true that most Muslims in America are what I would call "luke warm". I have never seen a Muslim praying in public. And praying five times a day is a loooong way from picking up an AK and vanquishing dozens of innocent people. Why would anyone come to America knowing that it would one day result in their violent death? For them and their children? My point is that virtually all of them want to live an American life of freedom and opportunity in the land of plenty.
On the other hand, there will be those Muslims who are radicalized into fanatics. I think they will be few and far between. I think the radicalizing mullahs will more and more be reported and deported. Inciting people to kill is still illegal in this country.
In light of this, it is smart to consider what options you prefer to have available when caught in the middle of a terrorist attack from some of these idiots. Personally, I prefer to have my .38 which I can shoot very accurately, as anyone can learn to do, so I can send these people to their final destination. It is better than laying down and waiting for my turn to die. Get your concealed weapons permit. Buy a 5 shot .38 caliber revolver and stick it in your pocket and forget about it. Until you use it it's just a piece of steel in your pocket that reminds you to be careful and pay attention to what's going on around you. Don't be a victim by choice. We cannot stop this stuff. Not all of it. But we can do something about it. Think globally. Act locally.
Ryan has a good point. This is not the time to put our common sense on hold.
