      Pretty much.

      Even then, what were the "peaceful majority" of Muslims in the US going to do on 9/11, or even before? Not much. Often there's not much that CAN be done.

      Major point is, we have to know and understand and acknowledge who we're fighting, a crazed bunch of idiots who think that murdering people is ok by their religion. And... that's exactly what their religion teaches if you take it as a fundamentalist.

      There's 2 types of Muslims in the world:
      Fundamentalist
      Liberal

      Fundamentalist Muslims are essentially ISIS, and lesser degrees of it.

      Liberal Muslims are often peaceful and many you wouldn't even know were Muslim. Some you would, but many not.

        Indeed. Our local convenience store owner (I know it seems like a stereotype, but it is true) is or was one and he is a pacifist. This is a large part of the problem. Too many will not fight for their own rights and lands. It is too easy to run to another country and let someone else fight. Where would we be (or the world for that matter) if our founders did not have the brass to repel the tyrants?
