Thank you, you said it better than I could have.
All very good points that everyone should understand. Throw emotion out of the door and use logic.

After all, we are a melting pot for the legal immigration of those who sincerely want to be a part of our society.
"You want to know what bothered me so much about being assigned in Libya? It's not the hardships, it's not the gunfire, it's not the threats. It's dealing & fighting against the people, the programs & the personnel who were supposed to be supporting me. And I added to it by saying, 'Jim (Bacigalupo) for me, it's as if the Taliban is on the inside of the building."

Even a small minority of Muslims (1%) worldwide translates to 15 million believers - which is hardly an insignificant number.
Muslim-Americans who identify more strongly with their religion are three times more likely to feel that suicide bombings are justified Fifty eight percent of American Muslims rejected al-Qaeda outright, 5 % have a favorable view of al-Qaeda and 27% percent couldn’t make up their minds of the terrorist organization.
“It takes a village to make a suicide bomber it’s not just one person waking up and wants to be a suicide bomber, they must be recruited and groomed by Islamic extremist organizations that prepare them, train them and lead them to a target,”,the Heritage Foundation's Middle East analyst James Phillips told Townhall.

Even if ALL the wars in the World were stopped, you would still have people with pressure cookers hellbent on killing people.
Indoctrination starts young. Hate starts young. When those who use the scriptures or Koran, and twist them to their means, you will have deaths on a mass scale.
And how do you fight this way of thinking?

Newsmax Exclusive: US Hired al-Qaida-Linked Group to Defend Benghazi Mission
The Libyan militia group that the State Department hired to defend its embattled diplomatic mission in Benghazi had clear al-Qaida sympathies, and had prominently displayed the al-Qaida flag on a Facebook page some months before the deadly attack.
That organization, the February 17th Martyrs Brigade, was paid by the U.S. government to provide security at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. But there is no indication the Martyrs Brigade fulfilled its commitment to defend the mission on Sept. 11, when it came under attack. !

A suicide note at his side explained that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been his patient for the last nine years, had “sucked the life right out of me.”
“I can’t take it anymore,” wrote Yatom. “Robbery is redemption, apartheid is freedom, peace activists are terrorists, murder is self-defense, piracy is legality, Palestinians are Jordanians, annexation is liberation, there’s no end to his contradictions. Freud promised rationality would reign in the instinctual passions, but he never met Bibi Netanyahu. This guy would say Gandhi invented brass knuckles.”
Kill those who are not Christian or Jewish:
You must kill those who worship another god. Exodus 22:20
Kill any friends or family that worship a god that is different than your own. Deuteronomy 13:6-10
Kill all the inhabitants of any city where you find people that worship differently than you. Deuteronomy 13:12-16
Kill everyone who has religious views that are different than your own. Deuteronomy 17:2-7
Kill anyone who refuses to listen to a priest. Deuteronomy 17:12-13
Kill any false prophets. Deuteronomy 18:20
Any city that doesn’t receive the followers of Jesus will be destroyed in a manner even more savage than that of Sodom and Gomorrah. Mark 6:11
Jude reminds us that God destroys those who don’t believe in him. Jude 5
All of those examples you listed could be taken as emotional responses.
If a lion kills a tribes member, you're probably too close in the lions proximity. So you set up deterrents or traps.
It's like when people see a snake and they kill it 'just because'. It's out of emotion from what their perception of snakes are.
Now mind you, we aren't talking about animals here, we are talking about other human beings that also can think logically.
Too much emotion is put into things and people are misconstruing emotion for logic. it's that simple.

Dear XaniMatriX,
I didn't make my point clear. Every country has criminals, no one has ever, or will ever solve that problem. America takes strong steps (some say too strong) to condemn, hunt down, and punish criminals.
Attacks by Muslims in the US go as far back as the early '70s. If they had been "criminals," conducting ordinary crimes in their own country, the US would have ignored it completely. But they haven't. The US is getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan, but attacks are not going down. So what else is there for a solution?
With respect,
