What I haven't seen mentioned but what jumped out at me watching interview with Farook's

fellow congregant is that their Dar-Al-Uloom, Al-Islamiyah mosque is part of the Deobandi movement, which is very similar to Wahabi,that is ultra-conservative. It is significant to note that the Taliban has its roots in Deobandi.

Watching the MSNBC reporter interview the congregant without any hard questions about the kind of Islam being preached at that mosque is a problem. Probably everyone in America knows the stark differences between Episcopalians and Westboro Baptists, well Islam is no different.

Perhaps Muslims need to start identifying themselves according to what school of they embrace so that extremist schools can be separated in the public's mind from schools of Islam that are moderate, so that non-Muslims learn to distinguish moderate Muslims from extremists the way Episcopalians are distinguished from Westboro Baptists.
