Well... Oklahoma City government blow up building with Timothy McVeight.... they do stuff like that, they are just less numerous an not as trendy as the evil muslim terrorists but they are as extremist and crazy.
Actually, there is a lot to know about Islam, I am not gonna go into full details but we did organize an international symposium about it 2 years ago, more or less (I think if you type coloc international sharia Luxembourg in google it's still there). There is 4 more important school of thoughts (coming from the 4 Sheiks) and they are VERY different in their practices an interpretation of Islam, especially The Waabites and the Salafists (not sure of the spelling in english), some currents of thoughts are much more radical than some others. That's a first thing. The second is that many aspects of Islam got incredibly radicalized in some environment because of the Palestinian-Israelite conflict and because of what's going on in the Middle East. This radicalization comes from poverty and repeated offense against a people. In these circumstances, peoples tend to radicalize and to get angered, using something as a wagon. This time, the religion has been the wagon as it is always perfectly designed for such consequences. It could easily have been something else but the cards were perfectly played. Does it means it represents the real islam? Not at all. There is a lot of problems in every religion, including Islam, however, it is wrong to think they are all mad fanatics, we hear about the crazy dumb heads because they help to sell newspaper and magazines. Peoples aren't making discernment, which school od islam are they from, do they come from poverty, have they been brainwashed and by who, what about the more moderate school of islam? These questions aren't searched a lot and it gives place to the worst understanding of islam possible.
