You're kidding?

"Realistically, people will eventually get over the deaths of family members, friends and citizens and the economic loss of billions of dollars, but will they ever be able assuage the anger of the muslim community." You must be joking?

Who cares about the anger of the muslim community? The loss of one American, one Briton, is more important the the feelings of the muslim community. What if it was your mother or daughter, friend or coworker? Just get over it? We have been walking on eggshells around the muslim community for fear of alienating them and causing more terrorists too be created. Obviously this not working. The terrorist are still out there and they still want to kill us. Maybe a little inconvenience will due the trick. Maybe if the moderate muslim community has to be subjected to more scrutiny because of their muslim brother's hateful actions, they will be more forthcoming with tips for security services.

In the future, try to keep your comments from showing your utter lack of compassion. Would you tell a person who lost a family member in New York, London, or Madrid to their face the opening sentence of my response which is a direct quote from your statement. Inconvenience will never be on par with losing a family member.
