The Islamic tendency is the same as man's best friend when it sees a fire hydrant. We may be strong, solid, with political philosophies built out of iron, but the Islamic natural-born instinct is to mark and control it nonetheless. Only when that passive fire hydrant gets its valves opened do those creatures run back to their caves. We need to make sure there is always enough pressure stored, ready to open up without warning.
