The mindless mantra that always follows these plots and attacks is that this is a misunderstanding of Islam. How so? Muslim terrorists cite Quranic texts and teachings chapter and verse. They follow the hadith, Muhammad’s example.
Furthermore what do Islamic leaders who allege that this is a misunderstanding of Islam done to combat it? There is, for example, not a single program in any mosque or Islamic school to teach young Muslims to reject the jihadic doctrine and the Islamic State’s understanding of Islam.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) arrested an 18-year-old man from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, who allegedly planned to kill Christians and burn down churches in his town to further the mission of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The DOJ’s criminal complaint alleges that Alexander Scott Mercurio intended to kill Christians in the nearest church, burn the building to the ground, then hijack a car and do the same at other nearby churches. He planned to handcuff his father and tape his father’s mouth shut so he could steal his guns to commit the attacks, according to the DOJ allegations.
According to the DOJ, Mercurio landed on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) radar when he tried to provide financial support to foreign terrorist organizations, including ISIS, when he was 17 years old. He later communicated with individuals whom he believed were affiliated with ISIS but were actually confidential FBI sources, the complaint alleges.
Mercurio allegedly told these sources he planned to attack the churches on April 8, which was two days before the end of Ramadan and the celebration of Eid al-Fitr. The DOJ also alleges that he swore an oath to ISIS and purchased materials with which he planned to carry out the attack, including butane canisters.

“Misunderstanding of Islam.” Yeah, right. Similar to those who use the “mental illness” meme with regard to transgenderism, which I have held to be a nefarious and sinister ideology meant to supersede the realities of biology for political purposes.

The terrorists, murderers, rapists and sex-slave owners are simply emulating “the perfect man” their prophet, piss be upon him. Israel is not just fighting Hamas or their masters in Iran – they are up against a world-wide terrorist organisation known as ‘Islam”. As such they are bravely fighting for all of us. Even if too cowardly to defend ourselves we must at least support Israel

The Muslim religion demands they kill anyone who is not a Muslim. Hey guys that is all of us. This kind of hate cult is not viable in todays world..and should be outlawed like a cult of murderers should be. Come on now please let us reason this together.
