I am sure there are plenty of Muslim countries they’d be more happy living in than here ... Maybe Obama can create a Muslim czar to handle this “struggle”???

Being Muslim means that you are a member of a death cult.

That is because Islam is a political system of rule, not strictly a religion.

All muslims bow to the capital of the Islamic empire 5 times a day every day. That city is segregated and has a death sentence imposed on any kufir who'd dare enter.

They picked wrong.

Young Muslims likely go to American public schools. THATS where they get radicalized.

Our country is better off without anyone who doesn’t think of him or herself as an American first. GTFO!

Islam is a man-made religion and as such is at the mercy of sinful man. That is why the current ideology seems to be based on mass murder.

I can see where the young muslims would struggle with their faith.

It makes no sense and is inherently evil.

Here’s a good summary of the meaning of the Muslim faith for the youngun’s to contemplate.

In interviews, many of the generation say they are striving to define for themselves what being Muslim means.

Let's hope they define it as something other than what it is – a cult of murder and death.

Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."

Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared," Kill any Jew who falls under your power."

Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

الاسلام هو شر لا مثيل لها ، ويجب القضاء عليه

“All muslims bow to the capital of the Islamic empire 5 times a day every day”... All Americans on the welfare roles, however, are only required to bow toward Washington, DC the day funds are deposited in their accounts!

US public schools are not strong on teaching ANYBODY to be American citizens. The splintering of public opinion is not found to be surprising.

All our future leaders, should there ever be a movement to restore the American ideals, will have come from either home schooling or from privately funded and administered schools. Federal funding for schooling, and a great deal of state funding, is directed more for indoctrination than for the teaching of basic facts for purposes of getting through the basic tasks of living.

There is no meaning to a cult that preaches death and destruction.

Nailed it.
