Surely one radical muslim is one too many. Let's not forget the Muslim Major in Texas that went on a killing spree. How many of those do you need before we consider radical muslims to be a threat?
Frankly I continue to fear a faction of a religion that rewards the families of its children for strapping bombs onto themselves and that talks seriously about Jihad. The fact that they are not quite as successful with their message here as they are elsewhere isn't a hell of a lot of comfort. Ask people who ride trains in Spain or the underground in London.
I agree with you, but demographically, and geographically, we have a definite advantage here. If the threat becomes real, have no doubt I will readily get pro-active about it, but there are many people who have an illogical fear of America becoming under attack from radical Muslims. There will always be a nutcase popping off here and there, which is the same with any religious or ethnic group, but it doesn't seem to be a legitimate threat, at least at this point in time.
