Quote:Why must insanity and religious extremism be mutually exclusive reasons for this man's actions? There are millions of Muslims in this country, and I've no doubts more than a few disagree with our government's policies. Still, as bad as these incidents are, they are very isolated and rare. It's not a stretch to say this was an act of a crazy person, whatever his motivation may have been.

 

It's also not a stretch to say that radical Islamic terrorism is increasing here in the U.S..

 

From recent history of some of what was reported in the national media.

 

11/5/2009 - A Muslim psychiatrist guns down thirteen unarmed soldiers while yelling praises to Allah.

 

4/15/2013 - Foreign-born Muslims describing themselves as 'very religious' detonate two bombs packed with ball bearings at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and causing several more to lose limbs.

 

4/19/2013 - Jihadists gun down a university police officer sitting in his car.

 

6/25/2014 - A 19-year-old college student is shot to death 'in revenge' for Muslim deaths overseas.

 

7/16/2015 - A 'devout Muslim' stages a suicide attack on a recruiting center at a strip mall and a naval center which leaves five dead.

 

Just a short time ago on social media, attacks by stabbing by "lone wolfs" was called for by a group claiming to be ISIS.  There has been an increase of such attacks in Israel recently.  All of the sudden something like that happens here.

 

Coincidence?  Maybe, but the evidence that I've seen so far points to otherwise.
