Boston Bombing

In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing we should all hug our kids a little tighter and thank God we live in the greatest country in the world. Not only did law enforcement quickly find and capture the perpetrators but the public at large did their part to identify these criminals and help law enforcement run them to ground. We will not be terrorized by these animals. Islamic Jihadists are criminals first and their mad version of their so-called religion is so far from main stream religious faith as to be unrecognizable. There is no true religious faith that believes that anyone not of the faith should be killed. To call this ideology a religion is such an affront to religious people that I am truly surprised that more Muslims don't stand up and loudly proclaim that this is NOT what their faith is about. Sadly, they either do belive that the infidels should be killed or they are so afraid of the radical Islamists that they keep quiet out of fear.
    Now the gun control nuts are wondering why these criminal terrorists didn't have gun permits. After all Massechusets has gun control laws. These guys should have applied for a permit to have the guns they used to shoot it out with the police. I am sure they would have put on the application under "Why do you want/need a gun" "To shoot it out with police". And for the background check they would have entered. "I am a Chechnian Muslim Extremist, please call my mosque's radical immam for a reference"
    We live in the most free nation in the world. As such, people are free to be extreme in their speech, their religion and their personal behavior. However, with freedom comes responsibility and your freedom does not mean you can deny my freedom. Therfore freedom of speech and religion means you have a responsibility to make this a better place, not degenerate to a place that you think it should be.
