Perhaps we need to declare a war on weather?

This is a welcome and needed reminder that simplistic Muslim bashing does not demonstrate progressive values. And given that there are 30,000 gun deaths every single year in the US, the fact that 19 out of 30,000 are due to "terrorism" shows how remote the danger actually is.
