But then again, I prefer security in my country over being loved by muslims for being such an easy target.

Haven't we been over this before? If we strike out in the most inflammatory, brutal way then we are ensuring a fresh supply of martyrs for the jihadists. Unlike sports, global politics is not just about kicking the other guys ass. Continuously inflaming existing tensions is the best way to decrease your own security. We don't want to wage war forever, do we?
