I&#x27;m not excusing the terrorists. I&#x27;m trying to keep in check the people who are commenting on this and just saying &quot;well yeah, this is what happens when you have 10% muslims in your country&quot;.<p>I&#x27;m not defending the terrorists. I&#x27;m defending people like your family who will be lumped in with them in the next couple of weeks as people blame all of this on immigration and islam, like they do every time.<p>The fact is, we are living in an age of muslim extremism and sympathies are at an all time high. We could look at it at that fact and blame 1.57 billion people for all sharing this radical ideology, or we could look at what other forces are nudging a small section of those people to radicalize.  And avoid denial.
