At what point do we have to start taking matters into our own hands? I agree that this is NOT a good way to look at this and it's a very scary notion but there will be a breaking point where we stop relying on them to fix their problems.
Fox news is just capitalizing on this growing sentiment. At least we get to laugh at their stupidity?

Nope. Its coming from people who choose to view it that way.
I can fully criticize the dangerous aspects of the religious doctrine, as well as the extremists, while understanding that not every Islamic person I come across necessarily shares the same ideals. I can also understand that these issues are always complex and there are religious, social, cultural, and economic aspects to all of it.
I have no idea what you mean by "taking matters into our own hands" but if you are suggesting violence against Canadian citizens (or any people) who have done nothing other than belong to a certain religion then you are pretty much an extremist yourself.
