That said, I think the most important thing to do right now is to be accepting of Muslims that are not connected with the extremists.

The comments from my Muslim friends saying things like "today is not a good day for me to be Muslim" and things like that, those break my heart.
If you lash out at the religion at a whole, then you are just helping the terrorists- that kind of irrational response only ultimately swells their ranks.

Now more than ever, it's important to properly distinguish respectful Muslims from the hateful extremists.
The greatest defeat to terrorism is for their prospective recruits to feel so accepted that they will not follow the extremist doctrine.
