"Russia strongly condemns this inhumane killing and is ready to provide any and all assistance to investigate these terrorist crimes." Only time will tell to what extent he will assist; given Russia's involvement in Syria, I wouldn't be surprised if it involved combat.

Or, just stay out and assist in supplies. It won't be long until radical shit happens and governments begin to outlaw certain religious practices in hopes of weeding out the terrorists. But what choice do we have?

But what choice do we have?I don't know; part of Russia's activity no doubt has to do with diverting attention from events in Ukraine. Russia entering the fray would be a wise decision if they want to sweep Crimea under the rug.I'm not really fond of outlawing religion, but at the same time something does have to be done about the spread of Islam. There's no point in specifically saying "radical Islamic" anymore; time and time again has it shown that the radicals outnumber the moderates by leaps and bounds, and nobody is talking about the guy who does nothing more than attend Mosque once and week and pray. PC terms don't apply, we all know who we're dealing with.
Why do we still say radical Islam? The tenth century is the social norm for these Islamic nations.
I'd make a distinction between the Muslims that are adapting to western society and those that would be in the masses. Denouncing all of Islam would only serve to outcast those Muslims that aren't a problem, and make them more likely to become one or be spiteful. The amount that has/is adapted is a minority, but sweeping generalizations in times like this tend to create problems.

But you don't title a community by the quiet minority; there are Muslims, and a few moderate Muslims. Not radical Muslims and Muslims.

Not radical Muslims and Muslims.Yes, but using Muslim is still what they identify by, so you are still inadvertently lumping them in with the others.And like Das said, they are fairly unique to America, but that doesn't change the fact that they will be fully aware and at the front of whatever anti-Muslim drivel is spewed out. You don't want the few that are good to be turned away from you.
