"An armed society is a polite society"
That is true, because the Muslims know they do not know who is carrying the guns.
...Although it starts with the second generation who starts the process in order to become a part of America.
The thwarted attack on a military base in NJ, the DC snipers, the car attack in SC (NC?), shooting at the El Al counter at LAX, shooting at the Jewish Community Center in Seattle, terrorist training camps in Oregon and Ohio, it goes on an on.
The difference is that not only does the media not connect these acts with Islam, our government doesn't.
My guess the author, an Israeli, likely doesn't know about any of these attacks.
So called “peaceful” (i.e., moderate) Muslims are nothing more than “reserve soldiers” on the “home front” of Islam’s greater struggle.
Those who would believe that they do not support the ultimate goals of Islam - a worldwide caliphate - simply because they choose not to actively participate in jihad are in for a rude awakening.

I have to agree with your observation. I think the author has hit it right on the head. Our prisons are filled with extremists right now, and I do not think your religious orientation ( at least in this country ) has alot to do with it...
Damn right, the best post/answer on this thread.
Worst case of testosterone poisoning I’ve seen this year.
You said it better than I did.
Exactly right.
...And even at 10% the Muslims would commit social suicide because of the heavy armed American population.
That’s definately a good reason.
A little history lesson to counter this claptrap from an author who might actually believe the crap he writes. The good rabbis of France bent over like good leftists do and advocated muslim immigration to, and of making Islam the second religion in France (in reality the first). How has that worked out? I mean do these people hate white men so much they must import people from a totally alien culture with historic grievances against the West to act as some sort of counterweight? Pathetic really, and all we get are the lies of PC bromides.
SIXTH: I’m heavily armed and will shoot the Islamic SOB’s if they start any BS in my neighborhood.
Ditto here, neighbor!
Ditto.
I think that pandering is dangerous. I don’t care whether it is Muslims or Christians or gays, they shouldn’t get EXTRA rights. No-one in the US should.
“What is the explanation of this dramatic contrast? True, the Muslim minority in the United States represents a much smaller proportion of the population than in Europe, but that alone cannot explain the distinct dissimilarity.”
Competely wrong again.
I would first like to correct a serious problem in the article — the assumption the US muslims are peaceful.
I recall numerous examples of Sudden Jihad Sydrome since 9/11/2001:
DC Sniper
Muslim running over students with cars
Various mall/school attacks
The muslim covert who blew himself (and only himself) up at a football game
Etc.
Second, to answer the question “Why are muslims not MORE violent” in the USA, than they are, the answers are:
1. Not enough muslims to reach critical mass and
2. We have an armed populace who will fight back
You see it today in parts of Brooklyn. Arab kids driving their parents crazy by wearing the latest hip-hop fashions, etc.
Wait until they become 10% or more of the population and see what happens.
Amen, and pass the ammunition.
