I get critized for comparing these Islamic extremists to rabid dogs. There's nothing you can do for a rabid dog, except shoot it so that it can't hurt others.

I'm not so naive to think that these terrorists can't turn from their ways and repent, and receive mercy. ...something a rabid dog can't do. I know it's a long shot, and not likely to happen. But the question is how long does one wait for this?

My answer (right or wrong) is not very long. If somebody is coming after me, or my family, the natural response of any man who feels the inclination to protect those around him (especially his family) is to shoot first, and ask questions later. Unfortunately, even those (as in the case of recent happenings in Iraq) who call for ceasefires, and mercy only do so to regroup so they can keep fighting.

Middle easterners...particularly muslims in Russia (and this country) are going to have a difficult time in the very near future. The backlash from this has yet to completely unfold, but HOPEFULLY people in this nation will learn from it, instead of just standing around WAITING for it to happen....God forbid we suffer another 9/11, or anything similar.

God may forgive them. I may pray for their souls. I will not forgive them. The Catholic Church used to be pro-death penalty because it was believed that God might have mercy on their souls where people never would. Don't know what happened to that.
