There is a long way to go, but I think the average person is starting to realize that some people are doing a lot more fear mongering than the actual threat warrants.

Have a little faith in humanity. We're smarter than you think.

Perhaps that is the case in Australia.

In much of Europe, there is a growing anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim movement. It is not as prevalent in Norway, but it is present.

And in the US, while it is not quite as bad, there are many people who associate Islam with terrorism, making no distinction, fueled by the rhetoric of the likes of Malkin, Pam Geller and others.

Hell, in the US, we have a Republican presidential candidate, Herman Cain, who says the First Amendment right to the free expression of religion should allow cities to ban mosques.

So where is the problem when we have the likes of Soros, Huffington, and the talking heads from MSNBC?
