Maybe we can look for more co-operation between the U.S. and Russia, which also has had a few problems with muslims in the Caucasus. Perhaps, most importantly, the West, in fact all civilized nations, will realize that there is a war going on, and that militant Islam has to be challenged wherever it appears. No more fear about being labelled a "rascist" or an "islamophobe" just because one denounces acts of terror, attacks on freedom of speech, the dehumanization of more than 50% of the world's population, the barbaric acts of a savage Sharia law ... well, you get the picture.

Yeah but we need to be very careful not to target the innocent with the guilty.
Lets look at the typical reaction of the average republican view that all things muslim are bad..
After Boston, we should put Muslims under surveillance, says Rep. King ? MSNBC
(apparently the republicans didn't learn anything from putting everyone with eyes that weren't horizontal in internment camps after pearl harbour)
Then look at the alternative view..
BBC News - Boston bombings: Muslim Americans await bomber's ID
Timothy McVey wasn't a muslim, neither was Anders Brevik, nor was the dipstick at Sandy Hook. The media goes to great lengths to dehumanise the muslims, its backed up by the vocal moronic minority who commit acts of terrorism or scream about jihad from the comfort of their council house in Peckham.
Not one single newspaper had 'christian goes mad at sandy hook' as a headline, yet 'muslims bomb Boston' seems perfectly acceptable..way I see it, headlines in both cases should read 'people killed by insane maniac/s'
As for 'sharia law'..well just look at some of the posts on this thread regarding what should happen to the perpetrators of this crime, and then argue that only muslims want savage retribution enshrined in their laws.
