At the same time this serves as a good teaching moment for not painting an entire group of people with one brush due to the actions of a lunatic. This doesn't reflect on everyone opposed to the community center for whatever reason, the same way that the actions of hijackers shouldn't be used to paint all Muslims as terrorists.

I would also be careful, like yourself, to blow this incident into something more than the act of a delusionary madman who just needed "something" to set him off. This doesn't reflect an anti-Muslim attitude among Americans... yet. Although some of the demagogues on the popular right are trying their damndest.
