Recent news; Five young American Muslims are detained for terrorist links in Pakistan.

The men told investigators they tried to connect with Islamist militant groups in Pakistan and were intending to cross the border into Afghanistan and fight U.S. troops. These men were born and raised in America with all the schooling everyone gets in the USA, etc. “These are America citizens in the news.”

All were reported missing a week ago after one of them left behind a note of militaristic farewell. “It was a video saying Muslims must be defended.” Think about this for a good moment before you write it off. This behavior is driven by the “religious fever” that all of the Muslim community is now being known for. “All the Muslims,” yes I said all of them.

England suffered some recent terrible, “bomb attacks” in the subways of high-traffic areas where citizens were completely defenseless, etc. The Muslims who planned the attacks were doctors and physicians. They also pleaded, “Muslims must be defended.”

This is not just a verbal statement of connection to Islamic values and beliefs. It is a direct connection to the Muslim faith itself.

A “faith based value judgment” they were ready to murder for.

When any violence is committed in the name of Islam, the perpetrators often say that Muslims were never meant to enjoy good relations with followers of other religions, specifically Jews and Christians. They invariably quote verses from the Quran which they argue prove that, “Jews and Christians” are inherently hostile to Muslims.

A Muslim’s “faith based” motivations in life should scare you!

The Islamic Muslim’s monotheistic system founded in Arabia in the 7th century and based on the teachings of Muhammad as laid down in the Koran; "Islam is a complete way of life, not a Sunday religion" etc.

“Any other religion is offensive to Muslims.”

Islam; an Arabic word which, since Mohammed's time, has acquired a religious and technical significance denoting the religion of Mohammed and of the Koran, just as Christianity denotes that of Jesus and of the Gospels, or Judaism that of Moses, the Prophets, and of the Old Testament.

Koran; (The Holy Qur'an) the sacred writings of Islam revealed by God to the prophet Muhammad during his life at Mecca and Medina. It is the sacred text of Islam, divided into 114 chapters, or suras: revered as the word of God, dictated to Muhammad by the archangel Gabriel, and accepted as the foundation of Islamic law, religion, culture, and politics. Muslims believe the Qur'an, in its original Arabic, to be the literal word of God that was revealed to Muhammad over a period of twenty-three years until his death.

Muhammad; Arab prophet of Islam. At the age of 40 he began to preach as God's prophet of the true religion. Muhammad established a theocratic state at Medina after 622 and began to convert Arabia to Islam. Born in 570 in the Arabian city of Mecca he was orphaned at a young age and brought up under the care of his uncle Abu Talib. He later worked mostly as a merchant, as well as a shepherd, and was first married by age 25. Discontented with life in Mecca, he retreated to a cave in the surrounding mountains for meditation and reflection.

According to Islamic beliefs it was here, at age 40, in the month of Ramadan, where he claimed to receive his first revelation from God.
By the time of his death, most of the Arabian Peninsula had converted to Islam; and he united the tribes of Arabia into a single Muslim religious polity.

The revelations (or Ayat, lit. "Signs of God")—which Muhammad reported receiving until his death—form the verses of the Qur'an, regarded by Muslims as the “Word of God” and around which the religion is based.
Besides the Qur'an, Muhammad’s life (sira) and traditions (sunnah) are also upheld by Muslims. They discuss Muhammad and other prophets of Islam with reverence, adding the phrase peace be upon him whenever their names are mentioned.

There are no terrorists. There are only scattered Muslim’s doing what is expected of them. This is a "religious fever" not reported.

Wake-Up! The Muslim community does not correct or attempt to punish the
ones who kill and perform terrorist acts on us everywhere, etc. They do
watch silently, hoping to go unnoticed in their daily lives because in all of them lives the Islamic fundamental ideas of their religion.

We cannot even begin to understand, "brain washing" in comparison to what Islam does to a Muslim follower. Mothers who send children with bombs, fathers who kill daughters and many more horrible acts in the name of Islamic fundamental religion.

Can we educate them without destroying a sacred part of their life?

Sadly, it seems we must wait until another Muslim want to do jihad. It is a scary notion to consider all the possible ramifications but where do we start?

A "religious fever" not reported is like a camp fire in the woods.

For the record, Religious extremism is not limited to one religion. All Religious groups are dangerous! But way to only capitalize on the one group, Stableman. it clearly shows what a ignorant, closed minded racist you are.

As a Christian I feel I am a threat to them but they not to me. Spiritually speaking that is. However, for someone to physically harm me because I am different that's another issue.
