Sudden Jihad Syndrome

1. Is the word being coined as a medical condition?

This is Conservapedia. Rules and standards of science are tossed out with the bath water and several babies as well. Conservapedia is a group effort that is censored/edited by the intentions of one man: Andy Shlafly, who happens to be a very antagonistic, ignorant, and right wing fascist asshole.

2. Why doesn't he apply the same syndrome to Christians, Jews, and others whenever they kill someone? Why only the Muslims?

Because he is trying to make "conservative" = "His idea of politics and religion". Needless to say, from the time I have spent studying this site, I have come to the conclusion that they ONLY respect Muslims for these reasons:

#1 - They inspire fear in those who disagree with them
#2 - They push hard core conservative theological beliefs upon the public (wether the public wants it or not)
#3 - They are willing to believe in god and take it very seriously

Thats pretty much it. These people do not respect your religion. They merely see you as a PRIME CANDIDATE to convert to right wing conservative Christianity.

3. Just because a Muslim commits a crime doesn't mean that it was religiously motivated (i.e. act of "Jihad"). It may be, but not always. All crimes have to be labeled so case-by-case.

Of course you are correct, I understand this, as well as you and many others on this forum. In reality, if the offending muslims in question were causing violence in the name of their right wing christianity, the people on this site would call them saints, or martyrs, as opposed to terrorists. The only difference is their theological writings.

4. One should be wary of the fact that many of these religious violence are a form of state violence which are instigated by extremist Muslims.

Sure, I understand that. It sure would be nice if the majority of Moderate muslims put their foot down and demanded that moderation and freewill be applied, instead of implied.

5. This is another silly argument by someone trying to give more fuel to the notion of "Islamophobia" (in the words that I highlighted above).

I agree 100%

Islamophobia

Interesting word.

Until something other than brutal violence against nearly everyone starts regularly coming out in the news, I'd say that is a very legitimate fear to have.

In today's hostile world, an "Islamophobe" may actually have a slightly better chance of living longer than those with a more cavalier attitude.

Oh, I didn't know that Conservapedia was a website designed for the facilitation of right wing Christianity. I thought you agreed with the quoted information. So, that's why I replied.

Brutal violence always comes out in the news, and again, I think these brutal acts of violence are miniscule when compared to the 1.4 billion Muslims around the world.

I wonder if they feel the same way about Christian terrorists?

Abortion clinic bombers? Tim McVey? The KKK? The Hutaree movement?

Rhetorical question.

"Miniscule" implies that one could only find a rare story of violence here and there. That is not the case. I think you're wearing a blindfold and plugging your ears.
Like I said many time before Rayaan, if violence wasn't the standard it wouldn't be the only thing plastered all over the known world. Everywhere Islam exists, you can be damn sure to find extreme violence in the name of Allah. As much as I hate christianity, that is not the case. Have you typed in the words, "peaceful Islam" into google images yet?

Instead of the hate sites and the hate books, you should read things which are from peer reviewed and academic sources and not from the so called ex-Muslims who are now on the speaking circuit funded by ultra right wing Christians and politicians.

How about you take a look at some peer reviewed academic sources when it comes to science, the universe, our origins ect... Obviously those peer reviewed academic sources go against the koran, so will be deemed invalid by you. However thought it was worth pointing out the irony of a religious person demanding more academically peer reviewed sources.

So far, I didn't come across any academic sources on the history of the earth and the universe which truly contradict the Quran. Feel free to share them if you have any.
