For America not to be in a state of war on the domestic front, it is a world leader in murder. We dwell in a culture of violence. Such crimes are common place.

We are hyper-sensitive to these things because even if a Muslim sneezes the wrong way, the media picks it up, and we then feel the need to defend Islam.
