Indeed, this is a time for statesmanship, resolve and determination, not for sweeping the cruel reality of what has just happened under the rug. Our ability to safeguard the future may well depend in substantial part on what we do and how we do it in just these coming days and weeks.
Finally...the truth I have discovered by learning, speaking with military that were there that there is no such thing as a non-radical Muslim. They are all either active, passive or supportive terrorists.
Mostly because I judge people on their actions, not easily lied words.

Remember...this is for their God. A "true believer" would do anything for their God. Unless you are saying they aren't true believers?

I would say that might be a choice we have to make some day. .
You say "there are moderate Muslims who are against the evil". How do you know there are such Muslims?
FoxNews article. It is truly logical and fair.

Judging all people in a group, by the actions of a small minority is not rational, logical, fair, intelligent, or acceptable. It is the opposite of all of those things, no matter how terrible the crimes of the few are.
Just as it was the case that not all Irish people were involved in blowing up office complexes and police stations back in the day, it is also true that not all Muslims are involved in, or support terror networks. Refuse to accept nuance, and you will automatically invalidate every point, every opinion, every argument which forms inside your head.
Also, your sources...they sound like a mighty biased mob. Probably some understandable PTSD involved there, but the thing with people who have been to the sharp end, is that they only really see the places where the most danger lies, where the most folk are in it up to their necks. They do not go to peaceful places, by and large, because there is no need for them there. That automatically biases their view, because humans can be strong of body, and strong of will, but still weak of mind, no matter how much honour they make for themselves in battle, or how respected they might be.
