I have gotten to know one a bit and based on my very small sample size (her circle of co-religionists) I believe they are clueless. They could read an article like this and not get it until it is too late (the radicals take over).

good point. MANY Muslims, have NEVER read the Quran !
they don’t know their own religion.
(same true with many “christians” of course.)
this also explains “sudden jihad syndrome”, and why the smart college educated muslims who have studied Islam the MOST, often become terrorists.
they simply are doing what their God TELLS them to in the Quran. (to disobey a direct command of God?)
i told a “moderate” Imam, that it seemed to me, that bin Laden was NOT “misunderstanding” Islam.
the Imam told me, to my surprise, that i was correct.
bin Laden DID understand Islam correctly...
also, the Quran SPECIFICIALLY and CLEARLY forbids a Muslim to even be friends with a non-Muslim. so the one you are talking to, clearly doesn’t know her own religion.
