Excerpt:
Last week, a Muslim in Alabama shot out shop windows in an attempt to provoke a shootout with police, in order, he said, to "draw attention to Islam." Another Muslim in Florida was arrested for plotting to bomb nightclubs and other locations for Islam; he explained: "We all have to die, so why not die the Islamic way?" A third Muslim, a convert to Islam who had served in the U.S. military, was arrested for attempting to make his way to Somalia to join the jihad terror group al-Shabaab. He said that he was "looking for dying with a gun in my hand" and wanted to die defending Islam. And in North Carolina, three Muslims were given prison sentences ranging from fifteen to forty-five years for plotting attacks on targets they deemed "un-Islamic." One of them cried out in court: "You're prosecuting Islam."
The fact that all this unfolded within one week's span illustrates yet again the obvious fact that Islamic jihadists are waging war against the United States. A sensible response to this undeniable fact would be for law enforcement agents to study Islam and jihad, in an attempt to discover what it is about Islam that leads some Muslims, including American converts to the faith, to regard their native land as the enemy and decide that they have a responsibility before God to take up arms against it.
