I love it, so now all of Islam bears the responsibility of a violent few?

You're pretty much calling all Muslims terrorists by attaching responsibility...I'm not sure if this is racist or just stereotypical...

But you've proven my point. If these were Catholics or Jews praying it wouldn't have gotten a second glance...but people are so afraid of Muslims today, because our leadership and mass media have fallen into Bin Laden's trap and beaten the threat into us via 24/7 cable news.

That they refused to leave isn't the point, that clearly non-threatening people were called out simply because of their culture is. Lingering emotion from 9/11 is reasonable, but if it continues to poison our judgement it will inhibit out ability to effectively minimize the threat.

This is the real spectre of terrorism, and why you just gave a few more points to al Qaeda.
