#3 This is not a what the right and left got wrong issue. It's a typical misinformation and guesswork in the opening hours of a big story. That's unfortunately the world we live in when we get the news instantly. Don't like it, turn off the electronics and read the sanitized version in Newsweek.

#4 --requires agreement on a few basic ground rules: civility, reason, and tolerance

Civility? Reason? Tolerance? Dude has clearly not read the Koran.

Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them. Koran 2:191

Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood. Koran 9:123

When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them. Koran 9:5

Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable. Koran 3:85

The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them. Koran 9:30

Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam Koran 5:33

The infidels are unclean; do not let them into a mosque. Koran 9:28

Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies. Koran 22:19

Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them. Koran 47:4

The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them. Koran 8:65

Muslims must not take the infidels as friends. Koran 3:28

Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Quran. Koran 8:12

#6 TW: Not quite. The shooter was a Muslim who followed one of the radical strains of Islam. Let's not waste limited time and resources looking at the ocean when we need to troll for the fish swimming in it.

I guess I should make it clear that I feel that the majority of muslims would not partake in this kind of behavior. That very same majority does seem to tolerate it way more than they should, however. I wish they would think about this and come to some kind of coherent position about this, meaning both in word and deed.

If I hear someone is muslim, it doesn't mean much more to me than hearing someone is male or white or gay whatever.

When I hear that a some kind of violence has been perpetrated by a muslim however, the first thing I find myself thinking that the following information is going to suggest some kind of jihadist act, and I'm ~~always~~ usually right. Strangely enough, I don't hear of muslims committing much in the way of violent criminal behavior. So they seem to be better behaved than other groups for the most part, but they seem to walk a little too close to the jihadi line for me to like it. I would rather they moved away from that and head back towards center.

What is the last time you heard of a muslim holding up a convenience store?
