The President asked that Americans remember that there is a very real difference between Islamic terrorists and the vast majority of Muslims. That being said he also pointed out that there is a growing, radicalized ideal within Islam that the Muslim community, both in the United States and around the world, must come to terms with and battle against. He argued that we must not give in to fear and react to this danger by changing our values. Giving people religious tests, making them register, or putting their places of worship under surveillance are counter to American values and America law, and he summarized this point by saying we are all equal in the eyes of God and in the eyes of the law.
