I think it'd be safer for everyone involved if they show some better judgement.

i disagree that either of these acts were committed by an "otherwise peaceful" muslim who lost it.
both were committed by individuals who sought out support from known terrorist organizations.
i argue that making the assumption "all muslims are potential terrorists" doesn't actually serve our security needs. it works against them. we need the majority of muslims that aren't terrorists on our side.
unless you're a republican running for office, this ridiculous mosque debate won't help.
