Okay, it is beside the point, I admit that. I just saw you saying "This war they're fighting is very real, and this is the type of shit that Jihadists and Islamic extremists want to do to us simply for being who we are (not Muslims). While I'm not championing America as some proud, noble country that's never done anything wrong, we didn't deserve anything like that" and figured some added perspective was in order. The ISlamists are an existential threat (or at least they want badly to be), but the way I see it, not the most powerful one at the moment. Research and personal experience tells me that, as much as we're wired to fear and distrust the other, the qualities we should be the most distrustful of are the qualities we share, and the more familiar ideologies are likely the most dangerous ones.
