Only when it is too late

In north America we live comfortable easy lives. Not many could be bothered with issues that do not affect them now. Our fathers and grandfather were building this country. This generation wants to profit from it. I pod - smart phone... What can I get now? There may be a islamist problem in America but who will actualy bother themselves to take action. How many islamo apologists have read any of the koran. " All religions are equal" "It is a religion of peace" I am upset - disapointed with pasive, apathetic, lazy americans. We must unite and stand up together, or it will be lost.

How is it solders die fighting extremisim yet it is alive in the light of day among us? I say, challenge every person wearing a face covering. Do they dislike us that they hide from us. Why are they here? What will be their contribution to our society. Do we want what they have to contribute? We should at least be brave enough to ask the question. Others are brave enough to die.
