Golden opportunity???

Yes.... Definitely so...

Why not ask this question of Muslim leaders in America?

Absolutely!! But now that the West's public perception is absolutely focused upon Islam and what's being taught in those mosques, we have the opportunity to apply extreme pressure on the militants (and moderates) in order to insure that what is being taught in those mosques is not only spiritually benign, but separates the patriotic from those who are merely "sleepers" or supporters of the militants.

IOW, Muslims are now longer going to be able to hide their allegiances. They will either speak up and align themselves with the West against the militants, or they will find themselves ostracized and under constant suspicion.
