today we should all be in mourning for the Muslims of the world who are peaceful and caring.

...which are the vast majority.
Unfortunately, these criminals that perpetrate their violence in the name of their faith are continously referred to as Islamists and "Muslim terrorists". The only people who benefit from this labeling are the terrorists themselves. These barbarians use the label of Muslims/Islamists to try and win support of the Muslim majority (us. vs. them mentality)
When looking at atrocities that occur in our own country (high school shootings, attacks at the workplace, bombing of government buildings, ect.) does anyone label these maniacs Christians?
Because these criminals come from countries where the predominant religon is Islam does not make Islam the source of their lunacy any more than we can blame our society's crime rate on Christians. Blame the socio/economic/political climate for these horrific problems, not a faith that upholds peace, justice and the rule of law as its creed.
