Muslims started to listen to weird people, which direct them to do weird things that are not even mentioned in the Quran ; along with hordes coming out of the Muslim ghettos especially after the Arab Spring, causing a wave of violence that I really & truly fear.
I agree with those comments. And I believe that if Muslims did take the time to study the Quran seriously and they understood it correctly, then they would've never become extremists.
Many Muslims are preoccupied in the recitation and memorization of it (I'm not saying that's a bad thing), but yet they do not understand the meanings.
