Islamophobia?  Americans need to be a very great deal more concerned about fanatics, whether they're Christian, Muslim, Fundamentalist, etc.  Let's remember that red-blooded Americans, i.e., Oklahoma City bombers, Branch Davidians, and Jim Jones loudly proclaimed their Christian membership.  Their terrorist acts combined killed almost as many as 9/11.  Christian terrorists, euphemistically known as "militia groups," like the Huttaree, are capable of equally lethal acts.  Finally, the most powerful and politically fearsome terrorist group, the NRA, deserves our eternal and utmost fear.  The astonishing collateral success of its incessant demands for an ever-widening array of guns in the hands of an ever-widening group of people directly translates into blood-spattered America.  With mind-numbing regularity, news media report daily gun maimings and killings of Americans.
