It seems that everything Islam touches--no matter what form or fashion, or where it occurs-- becomes ruined, overturned, injured or destroyed. This is not just my personal opinion (although it is). This goes back thousands of years to the Bible itself, where God said (paraphrasing): "I have chosen Israel and its people as my chosen ones; if you hate Israel (Jews), there's a price to pay for that hate."
Why is it that so many middle eastern countries are considered "backward" in their thought processes, societal norms and lifestyles? It's because...well, they are. Back to "Mohammed" apparently. They don't get ahead because they hate Israel and its people. God laid them to waste centuries ago.
I often wonder what the world would be like if Islam was indeed allowed to take over and rule the world like it has in many countries around the world.
Completely patriarchal, women would have no rights whatsoever, would have to be covered from head to toe, there would be no love, no humor, little laughter, no music, no dancing, no JOY.
What a horrible life! The life of a God-loving Christian should be one of JOY, not despair!
Naturally, the enemy thinks mayhem this is a good thing, since he wants to take over the world and destroy it. Why? Because God made this world, made it glorious and rich with air, food, water, seasons, animals, natural beauty--everything we need for our lives--all things that the enemy wants to destroy. And He made human beings to love, and to be loved back...but he didn't force us to do it (interesting, no?).
This is some of what these young men were subjected to, so rather than coming to the U.S. and assimilating, they instead said "I don't understand them," and so sought to blow up the citizenry. And it's extremely hard to reason with a mindset like that...because you CAN'T.
