Let me rephrase that - they are all not nuts... there are some very good people that are Muslims - the ones that are nuts tho are off the scale. And capable of anything - does the term "run amok" conjur up anything?

Amok is an Indonesian word that has been incorporated into many languages around the world - I wonder why...

A gift to the world from the most populated Muslim country on the planet.

Amok is an Indonesian word

As far as I know, it's the ONLY Indonesian word that's become part of the English language. It is unique, in that it has two correct spellings in English -- amok, and amuck.
