Joel Shrum, a teacher at the International Training Development Center, was shot dead Sunday in the city of Taiz where he worked.
A group linked to al-Qaida, Ansar al-Sharia (Partisans of Islamic Law), claimed responsibility.
"This operation comes as a response to the campaign of Christian proselytizing that the West has launched against Muslims," an unidentified person said in a text message to journalists, claiming responsibility on behalf of the group.
American killed in Yemen; al-Qaida-linked group claims responsibility
In its statement Monday, the International Training Development Center said that the man it identified only as “Joel S.” was driving from his house to its office in Taiz when he was shot dead by armed men on a motorcycle.
“Unfortunately Mr. Shrum has been accused of being a part of proselytizing campaign, but the staff of ITDC, which consists of Muslims and Christians working together, has continually focused on human development, skill transfer and community development,” the statement said.
“In ITDC's cooperative environment, Muslims students are highly respected and observe religious prayers on the property. Overall, religious and political debates are not permitted at ITDC,” it added. “Joel S. was a very professional employee who highly respected the Islamic religion. ITDC is calling on the Yemeni people to rise up and rejects this hatred and violence in their country.”
The statement said the ITDC facility in Taiz was closed and the security of the foreign staff members was being addressed.

I wonder when all the articles will come out trying to shame Muslims into changing their ways? Could it be because they are afraid of the violent response they will get? Yet when one Catholic priest (I am no fan of Catholicism) withholds the eucharist from someone who wanted a lifestyle validated in a place that the constitutions protects the free exercise of religion--then journalists are falling over themselves trying to condemn this first. Could it be because Catholics don't fight back anymore? (yes, I know their history, but that is long in the past)
Or how about the NY Times allowing an anti-Catholic ad, but not a corresponding anti-Muslim ad?
Cowards.
I need more coffee. I know how many "constitutions" we have... D'oh!
It's because the poor, innocent, butthurt muslims are always the victim, even when they lop the heads off of westerners for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Yes, all religions defy reason and move people to do irrational things, but Islam is the worst of the worst, and spreading like a virus.
The whole ideology needs to be eradicated.
I agree with Fitzbaum.
In Islamic mad places, especially Sunni ones, it does not matter what one thinks or what one does.
What matters are how the mad radicals or terrorists "feel" about one!
@Old School--
Many Westerns -- especially those on the secular Left -- are genuinely cowed by Islam's militance, which is why they give it so much deference. Consider, for example, how Salman Rushdie was brought to heel.
There's no real Christian militancy, and thus the Left will continue to direct its anti-religious animus almost solely at Christians.
Sad to say, in some respects, but force does tend to command respect.
The world only respects violence, Lucifer himself is the father of it, and those that follow violence follow the father of it.
Fitzbaum, you sound a lot like those you are criticizing?????
have a good week.
Headline: American killed in Yemen 'highly respected' Islam
He really should've looked into things more closely before heading off to Yemen. Sad that he lost his life over it.
@jm-4135357 you are right they are SATANS follwers.. Have you ever known a Muslim to forgive ? to apoligize. to offer even a word of condulance? sp NO for the wicked shall inheret the Earth The Followers of The KORAN are the true followers of Muhamed the false phrophet The bastard Son Of SATAN
It is difficult to name a religion that has not killed another religion in thier gods name. But Christians hold the record at the moment; in fact christians have killed more christians for being the wrong kind of christian than Islams have killed christians.
Now that people are starting to realise this it will be decades of atonement before they truly trust the christian religion again. Maybe the christian leaders should acknowledge and make some gesture to atone for past mistakes then people might take them seriously. As it is they continue to deny and try to hide them even from themselves.
This guy may not have even existed.
Their ignorance is unsurprising. Their tactics are unchanging. Their religion is unashamed by their actions. When will we hear an Imam or Ayatollah speak out against violence done in their religions name? Just because people are a different religion does not me they are there on a "Missionary" assignment to convert the population. Maybe if they did 1 google search to find out about their target they might have known that religion wasn't even discussed or debated.
There HAVE been numerous imams who have spoken out against violence, but apparently no one wants to notice. Most of the Muslims I know are appalled by such violence and in fact Classical Islam teaches against it, the way Classical or Orthodox Christianity teaches against violence.
There have always been people who use religion as a pretext to committing evil, to committing the evil that their very religion prohibits. I grew up in the South in the 1960's and can remember people - even preachers - using Christianity as justification for using violence against blacks to "keep the proper order of things". And being Native American I know from experience there's a history of the past 519 years of Christianity being used to jusify the exploitation, abuse, enslavement, and outright genocide against our peoples...and there are still some people who call themselves Christian who think that it's their God-ordained right to screw us over or their duty to get rid of us... or kill off anyone else they don't like. And again, their attitudes and actions are in violation of Christ's own teachings and commandments to His followers.
@Allison well said, but so let us postulate something else... You say there will always be people who will use religion to commit evil, fine. So tell me, what other excuse gets the hall pass that religion does? Folks are always willing to turn a blind eye to so much that religion does that they would condemn under other pretexts... So, let's do away with the middle man, have your faith, but don't try to wrap it up under religion.
I'll bet when some one tries to spout that "my personal faith in (insert deity of choice here) told me to (insert atrocious act here)..." you'd be farrrr less likely to strike a concilliatory pose.
wake up america
Amerika wakes up only when Saudis, oil companies and their lobbyists wake up.
See the jokes being done on Iran and Syria!
Muslims don't care about respect. Their imperative is: conform or die.
Kind of reminds me about another line "Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated."
I have little sympathy for any private American citizen who's over there by choice and something bad happens to them. He shouldn't be dead but I think we should wall ourselves up from the Middle East AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. We don't bother them, we keep them out of the United States. I doubt big oil would let their stooges in Congress do that.
Remember Islam is a peace loving religion.
Start with "love" and "peace" and then tear a place/society/nation to pieces. Tearing a place/society/nation is their normal business.
Of course, they fallback on "love" and "peace" when followers of Islamic cult are about to be badly beaten.
Examine the history of Islamic cult!
you r wrong and a idiot for not knowing the history of islam and then spouting something you know nothing about. I can't stand you libs
John: At least track records of followers of Islamic cult proves what we have posted.
Hope you have not been reading history written from right to left or by oil companies and their lobbyists.
I wonder how he feels about the Muslim religion now.
Didn't do him any good, did it.
cravingnovember banned for promoting genocide.
They don't care if you have "respect" for Islam, if you are not Islamic you're a "Infidel" and by what the Koran preaches not worthy of life, read the damn book. It's all "Peace and Understanding" till they take control and then it's a strict form of "Sharai Law" and "Katy bar the door" for the non-believer. All religions have delusional and convoluted belief systems but Islam, in particular, has a far reaching agenda of wanting to "conquer" the world. Just because it's a religion doesn't mean it doesn't have a sinister aspect to it, a black hole wanting to engulf everything in it's sights!!...
jdarizona said "They don't care if you have "respect" for Islam, if you are not Islamic you're a "Infidel"
JD but he was Islamic, they killed him for Christian proselytizing. The radical Islamic idiots will kill their own for not being Islamic enough, What I get from the article is that he was not really proselytizing but just trying to get the two faiths to work together which in the Islamic world is a big no no. According to them it warrants death, that also along with wearing blue jeans, listening to western music, drinking, shaving your beard and so many other things. (if your Islamic)Heck all it takes is to have a person that you spoke wrong and may just due this because he does not like you, this can also warrant death under their crazy relegion. Just think our government is trying to have peace talks with these radical Islamic groups like Al Qaeda and the Taliban. The US actually pays these groups 10 times plus the cost to give up their weapons, well gues what they do with the money-buy more weapons. Our troops are trained to conquer the enemy and take their weapons not buy them from them. And many citizens wonder why some solders are losing it, paying more money to the enemy then they make in months. Nevermind paying tribes and or elders stacks of hundreds(each) for information then getting blasted with an IED days later. Radical and Semi Rad. Islamic people(animals) only care about themselves
Another great human killed by Radical Islam. Radical Islam is resorting to the "sword" out of desparation for their falsehoods with "pen" is far too exposed. It is the only way they can "extend" their losing cause.
We can only hope it is a losing cause.
I have zero respect for the murderous blood cult islam. I am still alive. I win.
Huge numbers are with you!
We will win. Non-Muslims will start by bringing Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to ground zero as a first step.
The Taliban and Al Qaida don't care what your religion is. If you are not 'one of them' or even 'look American' they want to kill you. It has been the same game since the outset. Both "islamic factions' claim to want pure Islam, but go against their own teachings so frequently that it reveals their true nature. They only want to kill people and control the drug trade. They are nothing but a drug-crazed bunch of murderers, regardless of where they operate. They will use any excuse (even if they have to make one up) to murder you if they are going to do it anyway.
However, according to other sources, Shrum had done missionary work previously in other countries. He didn't deserve to die, but perhaps he stirred the hornet's nest a bit too much?
The "my god is better than your god" narrative can only result in more deaths.
Goodfor, The problem is your toleration of a "hornet's nest" of mass serial murderers known as Radical Islam. That "hornet's nest" is going to be stirred no matter what out of their pure hatred. The only solution is to spray that "hornet's nest" out of existence and stop making excuses for them
Ahh... mass execution of an entire race of people due to their religious beliefs. I get it now. So.... how do you think a muslim proselytizer would have come across to zealot Christians here in the U.S? Not too welcome I think.
You said it, goodfor, now come up with the backup, when was the last time (or any time) in the US that a of what you say "Zealot Christian" killed a Muslim in the US for proselytizing. Come on, where is your backup? I am waiting??? Still waiting. As someone who has lived in a country that borders Yemen, I can assure you that Christians in the US treat Muslims much better than Radical Islamists treat other Muslims. To say "Radical Islam" is just like the "Christians" is naive at best or an outright lie. There is no comparison. You might understand this one day, Inshallah
I never stated that Christians in the US killed any Muslims for proselytizing. However, I tried to make the point that there are zealots in every religion and suggesting that one group is any crazier or better than another is well... crazy.
If Yemen is so hostile, then this guy had no business being there. And he certainly took his own life in his hands if he tried to convert them.
Your point that there are "zealots" in every religion is like saying grass is green. Or to say that there are extremists in every country (Nancy Pelosi and Dick Cheney are perfect examples). Because Yemen is dangerous, this guy "had no business" being their in the name of peace?
When was the last time you saw a Muslim slain in the streets of America because they were telling people about Allah? Then, oh let's say, The Church of Latterday Saints, stand up and take responsibility for it.
You can't make excuses for this violent "cult" and their animalistic behaviors
Not making excuses for anyone. But, personal responsibility has a price too. There are many posters above me calling for death. Doesn't anyone else see the irony in it?
Gee, Goodfor, I have been to Yemen (but not lived). To you "I had no business being there" and should have been killed. Your excuses for Radical Islam is the problem. The problem is NOT people visiting or living in Yemen, the problem is Radical Islam.
You're taking everything out of context. No where did I say, the guy should have been killed. If you go back up, I specifically said the guy didn't deserve to be killed.
Missionaries have no business going into hostile territories trying to convert. Christian zealots, muslim zealots, none of them are any good!
Sometimes debated, generally ignored and rarely, if ever, yelled at. When was the last time you read about an organized group of Presbyterians, Lutherans, Episcopalians or Methodists burning down a mosque, bombing muslim neighborhoods or kidnapping and murdering muslims at the behest of their official religious leaders' direction to do those things??? When did any of their leaders issue the equivalent of fatwas ordering the assassinations of individuals and the death and destruction of entire races, religions and nations? Zealot Christians in the U.S. (e.g. Westboro Baptist Church) are very tiny numbers compared to the rest of Christendom. Although they make a huge massivly disproportionate media grabbing obnoxious noise, even they, as evil as they already are, don't organize the rape, murder and ethnocide of other religious or secular groups. Politicaly motivated genocides and ethnocides have come and gone in the entire course of human history. However, in the last 100 years, only Islam, Communism and National Socialism have done those things on a global scale and Islam has been doing those things at the behest of its leadership and Quranic imperitives for a millenium and a half (1500 years).
Goodfor states"Missionaries have no business going into hostile territories trying to convert" Err, last I checked, the Berlin Wall fell. If you so tolerate tyranny where people can go to, that is your sad states of affairs tolerating Religous persecution where certain religions can go to. How far do we go with this? There are Comment Post on MSNBC we can all find as "hostile", yet we all still post. Just because a place is "hostile" to your beliefs, should not stop you from your freedom of movement.
Jim, just here in Florida, these are a few examples of the violence against Muslims:
- protest against Margate mosque project in Florida 6/11
- Objections to West Boynton mosque 6/11

We've seen national Republican political leaders oppose the construction of a mosque in NYC which had already been approved by a zoning committee, and we've seen right-wing Christians and conservatives in other parts of the US oppose the construction of local mosques, and even arson at construction sites.
I suspect the violence by Christofascist wingnuts in the US would be much worse against Muslims if the US were occupied by a predominantly Muslim country which was using drones to kill Americans.
Kurt, are you crediting the fall of communism to missionaries?
Good, take a moment to reflect on the attacks against westerners carried out by the Valient Warriors of Islam over the last 50 years. With rare exception, the targets have been civilians.
Their methods have been savage, brutal, and cowardly. 70+ year old Leon Klinghoffer, confined to a wheel chair, shot from behind and dumped into the sea during the Achille Lauro hijack. Navy petty officer Stetham was tied to his seat and then beaten to death before his body was dumped on the runway. After days of torture, Marine Lt. Col Higgins was slowly hung by being pulled off his feet. David Pearle's viscious beheading, and that of how many others? Then the obvious contempt and defilement of their victims' bodies.
From England to Australia, nearly every point of conflict in between involves the poor, abused, mis-understood Religion of Peace.
Budhists aren't using suicide bombers. Haven't heard much about Hindu suicide squads in Kashmir or Pakistan. Care to name the religious group in Africa with the most blood on their hands?
Missionaries still went to the USSR eventhough banned when the rest of the world thought it as "hostile". Missionaries went to South Sudan when no one else would go there as being "too hostile" Both the USSR and the Sudanese Regime lost their grip of power in the once "hostile" lands. Depotism such as Communism nor mas murderers such as Radical Islam should not be tolerated just because they happen to be "hostile" Both the Baltics and South Sudan are a much better place once the "hostile" is purged from power. One need to meet hostile head on instead making excuses for them. Too many people making excueses for the Mass Murdering Radical Islamists such as Goodfor is the problem.
I notice that your list of incidents are all post 9-11. Think that there may have been some provocation?.
And it is not a "race", but rather an idea we wish to irradicate. The Hebrew and Christian sects seem to have outgrown the violence of their youth, but Islam appears to be headed in the other direction.
Ever see a picture of a smiling Imam? I haven't.
I don't draw any distinction between your desire to eradicate them and their desire to eradicate us.
al-Queda is very racist (in the sense of a country representing a race), to them you cannot possibly be, or respect, Islam if you can call yourself an American. They need to be this way to protect themselves from the judgement of Allah as they have, many time, executed members of the "True Faith" while making attacks on Americans and American interests. It never ceases to amaze me how incredibly ignorant these people can be. Mind you I am referring to those that actually commit the attacks and atrocities. Any half-wit should realize that the al-Queda members in the elite power circles have no "true faith" to Islam. These individuals are all about power and control and Islam is nothing more to them than a tool to be used to energize the ignorant under their spell in the continuous onslaught of revolutionary Islam upon the rest of the world.
I was talking to an Imam a few years ago about this very subject and he made the following observation: "Who do we attack if we are told to attack an American? the Iranian-American, the Turkish-American, the Egyptian-American, the Islamic-American? In truth there is no way to identify an American except for a Native-American as all the others come from elsewhere. An American is a state of being rather than a state in fact. We are all sons of Adam and all of us can be Americans in our hearts should we so choose."
Its not race...its culture. Its hate driven 7th century ignorance against progressive 21st century modern secularism. The only weapon ignorance has is violence. You can't counter rational, reason based enlightenment with fear based, superstition and ignorance. So you must kill what you can't counter since your arguments are so much @!$%#. That sums it up. Enlightened liberating ideas vs fear-based ignorant superstition.
This murder wasn't about trying to spread Christianity. This murder was about an extremist group once again demonstrating that they have both the capacity and willingness to commit cold blooded murder using religion as an excuse. There apparently is no shortage of hate-mongers among them.
effen animals
Great!!! One down ??? to go.
Warren: Try reading the article before you exhibit your stupidity. He wasn't Muslim, the exectuted him for his Christian prostyletizing...now don't you feel stupid?
Poor Muslims, trapped by hate and lies... the Koran!
Prove it!
So our government will continue to say this is not a war of one religion against another? Muslims kill Christians for following their faith, let our so called Allies ban bibles, they kill Hindus and Buddhists, and we have to walk on eggshells around them due to all the political correctness bull@!$%# in this country.
The fact that a foreign power is propping up a dictatorship and using drones to kill Yemenis apparently isn't a factor, right?
cant we just kill every muslim?
nuke mecca?
El Queda terrorists organization shares the same ideoligy like you!
"CHILDREN SEEKING WORLD PEACE" (Short Film Script)
Opening Scene;
We see the Outside of the United Nations Building next we see a man dressed in a suite carrying a brief case walking into the building he approaches the Desk of the Chairman of the United Nations, pulls out a very large manila envelope and hands it to the Chairman. The Chairman opens the envelope, reads the paper work and scratches his head, looks up at the Special Carrier with a bewildered look on his face and says; Wow this is an Extremely Unusual Request and it comes from very unusual sources this is a First for me.
Carrier
What do you mean unusual request, who sent the letter ?
Chairman
Did you notice the Post Marks on this letter ?
Carrier
Yes I did, and it also has so many different kinds of stamps on it from around the World.
I have never seen so many Stamps on one envelope in my life, so who is it from and what are they want ?
Chairman
It appears that they are following up on an idea that originated from a Film Script Writer in America who came up with an Idea of writing a short Film Script he Calls "Children Seeking World Peace" The writer posted it on line and some of the Country Leaders around the World liked the idea so that they implemented it.
Carrier
Implement what ?
Chairman
Every Country in the World picked two Young Students from one of their schools a boy and a girl to represent their Country and are asking for a "SPECIAL UNITED NATION'S MEETING" that will be attended by all of the Leaders in the World but this is the Catch.
The adults are not to speak at this meeting, only the Children will be allowed to speak at this Special meeting called "CHILDREN SEEKING WORLD PEACE"
Carrier
Wow, I see what you mean when you said an unusual request and that is comes from an unusual source you were right about that.
Chairman
There's more this request gets even more stranger they are requesting that we install a large garden area next to the United Nation Building before this meeting takes place that we don't plant anything in the garden area just leave it bare dirt, there are to be small signs placed every two feet next to the rows in this garden area with the names of each Country in the World next to each one of these signs there will also be a watering can containing water.
Carrier
Do you think that the Board will consider this bizarr & unusual request ?
Chairman
Yes I do after all these are the Children of the World, the next Generation seeking the opportunity for them to be part of the Peace Process from their Generation and we should give them the opportunity to do so.
Scene Two;
We see the inside of the United Nations building where many young children are standing paired off one boy and one girl facing all of the Adult Leaders from around the World these Children are from all walks of life all different nationalities and all dressed differently.
Every Girl is holding a small pot containing a different flower in it in one hand and a small shovel in their other hand.
Each Boy is holding a small pot containing a different kind of plant in one hand and a small shovel in his other hand.
(all of these flowers and plants are beautiful and very colorful)
Every Boy & Girl from their Country are wearing Name tags with their Countries names on the tags. The Children are just standing there in silence.
The inside of this building is silent at first then we hear whispers coming from the Adult Leaders, what is this all about, what do they want, this is strange.
Next we see a girl step forward from the row of children following behind her is another girl and a boy they are all three standing there for a minute and the room gets silent.
Then the boy speaks,
I have been chosen to speak on behalf of all of the Children in this room. We are standing here before all of you representing the Worlds Next Generation, Your Worlds Next Generation. We only have a few words to say to all of you here today.
All of us had several things that we wanted to say to all of you today but we all decided that words are not enough without all of Our WORLD LEADERS making a Solid Commitment to end all Wars in Our World Today ! ! !
So, we only have three words to say to all of you here today... " PLEASE JUST STOP"
(one of the girls standing next to this young boy translates this message in all languages)
The three young children stand there for a minute in silence then one of the two girls step forward she says, we only have one more request to ask from all of you in this building today, please follow us to the garden area located just outside this building.
(the other girl translates this request in all languages)
The other children in the building follow the three children exiting the building followed by the Adults.
Third Scene;
We see all of the children lined up still holding their flowers and plants in one hand and their shovels in their other hand they are paired off one boy and one girl standing along side of the garden rows facing their Countries signs that are placed in two foot sections of their Special Garden.
(we see all of the Adult Leaders standing around this garden in groups whispering to each other we can't make out what they are saying to each other but they have a confused look on their faces)
Next the same Girl that spoke earlier in the building is holding a flower in one hand and a small shovel in her other hand says, I would like all of the Adult Leaders from their Countries to stand in front of their Countries signs facing each of us. (translated by the girl standing next to this girl)
The Adult Leaders line up in front of their Countries garden signs facing these children then every child bends down at the same time and digs a small hole in the ground in their two foot section of this Special Garden. (each two foot garden section now has two small holes dug in them and everyone is silent)
Next we see the same girl that spoke earlier stand up after digging her hole in the garden she hands her Adult Counter Part Leader her Potted Flower and says, each one of these Flowers that all of us has brought here today Represent WORLD PEACE for Our Future.
she continues..
All of the Children Around the World requested this SPECIAL UNITED NATIONS MEETING to beg all of the Leaders of Our world to help us Plant our Flowers here today to end all Wars in our World Immediately and all of the Plants that the Boys brought here today represent Commitment To Do So.
(translated again by the girl standing next to her)
Next we see the Boy that spoke earlier at the meeting hand his Adult Counter Part his potted plant then the Girl that is speaking looks over at all of the other Children that are still standing next to their garden and she nodes her head.
Then, All of the Children say the words together, in their own languages in a loud & begging tone. "PLEASE JUST STOP"
Next, We see all of the Children reach in their pockets, pull out a small bag and pour out a few of seeds into each of their Adult Counter Parts hands.
The Girl speaker then says,
we are giving all of you our seeds to take home with you so you can plant them in your gardens as a reminder of your Commitment all of you made here today to; END ALL WARS In Our World IMMEDIATELY..THESE SEEDS ALSO REPRESENT FORGIVENESS for without forgiveness there can be no PEACE, so please pass these seeds on to your transgressor so the Peace Process can begin. (translated by the girl standing next to her)
Last Scene
We see all of the Adult Leaders bent down next to the Children planting the Children's Flowers & Plants together in their "Special World Peace Garden" Located in Front Of the "UNITED NATIONS BUILDING"
Fade Out..
Written by, Michael V. Caldwell, Always Striving To Be Part Of The Solution, Using Respect & Common Sense As My Guidelines To Follow At All Times...
Respectfully,Thank all of You, for taking the time to read this IMPORTANT & Very Badly Needed message/idea that could happen if all of the Leaders in the World got together to make it happen.
"DREAM BIG DO BIG"
Surely, there must be something wrong with this 'religion' (Islam) if people from this religion continually attack others for belonging to an 'enemy religion' (everyone who is not Muslim) even if the non-Muslim is friendly? When will all the non-Islamic nations realize that Islam is not a 'peace-loving' religion and should not be considered as one, since it promotes terrorism and killing all those who have not converted to their so-called faith? People, wake up before it's too late and before radical Islamists destroy the whole world. If you declare Islam as 'peace-loving', go and read the Quran's teachings about what they do to people who don't belong to their faith. Do your own research, don't just blindly believe what politicians or other people say about Islam being 'peace-loving'.
Yet another example of how adherants of religion called Islam, started in 610 AD by a spawn of Satan named Muhammad, a murdering child rapist paedophile misogynist adulterer, demonstrate their true intentions to the rest of the world. In the last 100 years, only Communism, National Socialism and Islam have practiced genocide and ethnocide on a global scale and Islam has been doing that for 1500 years. Did occidentals learn absolutely nothing from the hard lesson of 1920-1946 German National Socialism fueled by its political ideology as outlined in Mein Kampf and the pagan religion embraced by its leadership and practiced by the SS? Did occidentals learn absolutely nothing from 1910-1990 Communism fueled by its political and social ideology as outlined in the Communist Manifesto and practiced by the Soviet Union and its satellite states? There will be no peace with Islam until the entire planet is muslim under Islamic Sharia Law or Islam is eradicated from humanity once and for all. Just like National Socialism and Communism, Islam, its Imams and its Quranic imperitives will not allow for any other outcome. Incinerate the Quran and death to Islam, only then will there be peace with it.
Maybe this helps explain Obama. His leaning is just an attempt at self defense.
Always remember, when you see these blood stained car seats and blown out window, Islam is a peaceful religion, one of harmony and peace. They do not promote violence, even though the Koran is filled with violence towards infidels or non believers.
Remember, they are a peaceful people and their random acts of retribution will be coming to an American town near you as the number of Islamists increase in the US.
Actually AL-Qaeda is the one proselytizing against Islam by convincing people that Islam is a religion of murder, hate, intolerance and evil. Islamic communities not coming out against this violence are also adding confirmation to this belief.
You need to do some actual READING before you spout that crap out of your butt!
