I think that there is a bit of fear or indecision or whatever when it comes to how these nut bars are being dealt with, and maybe its due to fear or whatever.
And I do note that we are hearing from some senior clerics or members condemning these acts, which to me is awesome.

I think it's often hard to determine:
A) how serious or capable someone is of pulling off an attack
and
B) how to effectively deal with the person if you fear they are capable/serious
I do know that many of the arrests that have been made to prevent these attacks were helped tremendously by members of the mosques/communities the would-be terrorists were affiliated with, but I also understand that there are pretty real fears of repercussions from other extremists that prevent people from going to the authorities.
