Again, it's the individual that counts not what box we can put him/her in.

There are also common muslims here and abroad who act like this

If the muslims were like me they wouldn't allow this to take place among their own. They'd rally around their victims and seek punishment and expulsion to the attackers. Very similar to how we're treating our pervert priests. From now on every priest has the entire parishes' eyes and ears open and focussed on any potential future crimes. It's not the individual priest's fault directly it's because they as a whole refused to do anything and looked the other way covering for each other. The blind Iman from NYC that blew up the world trade center had a huge following at his mosque where he preached his hatred for America. They everday muslim folk? Unless they act from within to demand the barbaric acts and prejudices stop they should have all American eyes and ears focussed on them until they come into the 20th much more 21st century. Somewhere in our constitution a young woman must be guaranteed the right to choose who she will marry. At least while on American soil no?

Or should muslim fathers be able to choose for and kill their daughters while American mothers are forbidden to pack their children school lunches?
