Radical Islam + Angry Young Men = Danger

I understand the frustration of my Muslim friends who have to endure the suspicious stares of strangers following violence perpetrated by evil, crazy men in the name of Islam.

But telling us to not talk about Islam in light of recent events is like asking us to talk about flooding without mentioning water.

The world has always been full of angry young men.   They vent their anger in various ways.  Unfortunately, some angry, isolated men are being persuaded by radical imams to become warriors and inflict damage against a society that the men believe has wronged them.

There are questions that need answers so that we can prevent such future incidents.  Peggy Noonan raises one:  where did the brothers get their money?  

Folks like Chris Matthews are uncomfortable with this conversation because their emotional focus is always on the problems of America.   They actually don't want to admit that there is a radical faction of people who hate freedom and want to do harm to our country.   And there's no "self-improvement" that we can undertake to prevent that nor any president or political leader that can be elected to mitigate the hate.

We need to investigate the truth of this matter rather than engage of the usual "it's-a-teachable-moment-for-America" rhetoric.
