US Home-Grown Terrorists 'A Global Threat'

US Home-Grown Terrorists 'A Global Threat', Warns Congresswoman -- The Telegraph

America's home-grown terrorists are now a 'global threat' and the US should look to Europe to learn how to deal with the problem, a prominent US congresswoman has warned Barack Obama.

In a letter to the president, Sue Myrick, a member of the House of Representatives select committee on intelligence, says that America is for the first time exporting Islamist terrorism.

She accuses the US of complacency in dealing with the issue and says the country in "far behind" Europe in having measures in place to deal with the growing problem of the radicalisation of young men and their willingness to carry out terror attacks.

My Comment: The U.S. has been very lucky in stopping these home-grown terrorist plots .... but no one is expecting this luck to continue.

I believe that the following message should be published all over the non Islamic world:
"The West needs to start realizing that Islam is more than just a religion. In the West, religion is something thought of as going to church once a week primarily. Nothing about Islam is secular. Islam takes complete and total control over every aspect of the lives under its control. It is much greater than "religion" as the West knows it. I don't believe that, in a modern world, there may be a place for Islam. It is part of the reason the middle-east is so far behind the rest of the world. It's probably the only reason. Do a search in Google on "Islam what the west needs to know" and watch the video that is an hour 38 minutes long. It's really good and gives a great understanding of this tragic way of thought. It is a religion of violence. Mohammad personally cut off the heads of 800-900 people that refused to follow him."
