I worry about this kicking off and ANY ordinary person - Jew, Muslim, Christian, WWE wrestling fanatic - being caught in the crossfire. It genuinely should not matter even a tiny little bit which holy book they happen to have in the bedside drawer.

Yeah, I agree with all that. Except I don't see the Muslim community being protected by armed guards. So while I hope that no innocent Muslim is caught in the crossfire or attacked by some misguided fanatic with a skewed sense of right and wrong, right now I'm giving more concern to a community that intelligence has shown to be at such a high risk of violence that they're having to be guarded by armed personnel.
