NightSide - Terror Attack In Australia

BOSTON (CBS) - Sydney, Australia was the site of the latest ISIS-related terrorist attack, this time in the form of a hostage situation.  Man Haron Monis charged into a café early Monday morning, taking seventeen people hostage.  The standoff with police lasted for sixteen hours, before the authorities finally stormed the café after hearing gunshots coming from inside.  Two hostages were killed, and four others were wounded before the smoke cleared and the gunman was finally taken out by the police.  Some Muslims in Australia were concerned they would now be persecuted or feared as a result of this attack, but social media quickly embraced the hashtag #illridewithyou as a show of solidarity and understanding that the actions of one lone lunatic do not represent the values or behavior of an entire group of people.  Do attacks like this make you worry about our safety here in the U.S.?  Do you think Americans would respond with the same compassion that many Australians showed?
