Is it possibly because this administration compares their killings, accompanied by shouts of "Allahu Akbar", to a nutjob shooting politicians in Arizona? I don't know the answer to that, only that the comparison was made. And I know this writer has things pigeonholed somewhat differently. Muslims are frequently found carrying out the Koranic directive to “strike terror into the hearts of the unbelievers.” Actually, make that the Koranic theme, so often is it reiterated in the scriptures devout Muslims take to be the verbatim commands of Allah. (See, e.g., Suras 3:151, 8:12–13, 8:60, 9:5, 33:25–27, 59:2–4, 59:13.) And that is beside the hadith, scriptures in which Mohammed, taken to be the perfect Muslim role model, boasts, “I have been made victorious with terror.” (Bukhari 4.52.220 — just scroll down from here, ( www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/bukhari/052.sbt.html ) through the glories promised to Muslims who wage jihad against the infidels.
Muslims, in fact, are more often exhorted by their scriptures to brutalize non-Muslims than Christians are urged by the gospels to love their enemies and turn the other cheek. Yet, though we assume the latter are meant to take the message to heart, we are somehow sure Islam doesn’t really mean what it says — that when Muslims strike terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, it must be Israel’s fault, or America’s, or something, anything, other than Islam, the only common denominator in these attacks.
For U.S. officials, it is a bridge too far to acknowledge the welter of doctrinal grounding that supports these atrocities www.nationalreview.com/articles/262229/why-they-celebrate-murdering-children-andrew-c-mccarthy

Are we short of thread space or something?

I'm asking a question. I'm not sure why the attitude. Simple question.

"......henryclay-any reason why you could not have added the OP into an already existing thread?...."
While I was considering whether to post or not to post I thought about doing that Tennesseer, then read the article closer , , ,and a couple more related articles , , and I realized they focus on entirly different aspects of the terrorists' psyche, plus the responses to those dfferencies by "outsiders".

henryclay-A thread may go through several stages of discussion through out its life. But your link and quotes would have been perfectly fine within the existing thread without creating another.
Please consider existing threads in the future if the subject matters are related as these two were. The opening paragraph of your link clearly tied in the subject matter to the other thread. I will not close this thread.
Future threads related to other directly related threads will be closed in the future. We don't need a number of threads on the same subject.

Well, it's like going to a library and finding all the books on building roads are reduced to one volume too unwieldy to carry to a table, but if you insist. And I stand chastised again. Gently maybe, but chastized nonetheless.

This may be a related thread, but there is still no one who can provide a satisfactory answer as to why these people celebrate the murders of children. But then again, we have a column in our society that would tell you it's merely coincidence that 95% of terror attacks in the world are committed by radical muslims...

<<< This may be a related thread, but there is still no one who can provide a satisfactory answer as to why these people celebrate the murders of children. >>> ...imo, this is a means or an end discussion... while the Islamic cultures don't really claim that they "celebrate murdering kids," they do advocate following jihadist efforts in the name of their god...
