Politics and Culture

Some points:

1. It's terrible that people feel the need to do such things.
2. In 2007, Islam inspires many of its adherents, whether they interpret Islam correctly or not, to commit such acts.
3. It's up to other Muslims, if they care at all for the goodwill of other Americans, to help their countrymen fight this this brand of Islam.
5. It's up to non-Muslim Americans to, yes, calm down and not over-react to these dangerous amateurs. Over-reaction would include anything that thinks the other millions of Muslims in the United States support the Ft. Dix terrorists' sentiments (point #3 would help in this regard).
