Good points, Tim.
There is a new generation of haters out there, some raised to believe the Americans are anti-Islam arrogant imperialists.
Complex issues, but basic in nature, and pragmatic. If my parents' generation had sat on their butts, kissing ass, wringing their hands, scared to defend themselves about 60 years ago, we'd all be speaking German right now.
Hate to say it this way, but if you are under attack and someone is trying to kill you, then you best defend yourself and try to kill him first.
We have foreigners in America that have come to live, work and gain the benefits and assistance of being here, i.e., government assistance, education, financial, health/medical. They are better off here than anywhere else in the world. America is good to them. I don't think it's unreasonable for us to expect them to now show at least some support, to do a little part towards standing up to say they condemn what has happened to our Country, and to defend our actions to protect ourselves.
