Just reading some of the replies here seems to indicate that the terror tactics are working.

(I want to try to keep this fairly neutral as it can apply to any group.)

We should never give up our freedoms that have been fought for and over for so long. Neither should we join those hate filled people in their hate. The more we try to "clamp down" the more ammunition we give to them on how our country suppresses their "rights" and "freedoms" and how "ordinary people" need to rise up and help.

And then how do you know that "your group" won't get "targetted" because of some similarity makes you "the same" and "just in case".

I've mentioned before that a Muslim will see any attack against another Muslim by non-Muslims as an attack on all Muslims and will put aside many differences to join in defending/attacking. So it may not be as easy as simply identifying radical teachers, it is something more central to the culture than that.

From a Christian point of view we need to "love our enemies". Now that is not to say we do not punish those guilty of crime but we leave that to the courts. At an individual level though we don't need to take on that burden of hate and revenge.
