These cases raise all sorts of questions that will neither be asked (except here) nor answered. Foremost among them is, Where did these young men learn about Islam? We have been told repeatedly, ever since 9/11 and before that as well, that every Muslim in the U.S. (and all but a tiny minority of extremists everywhere else) is moderate, tolerant, and pluralistic, and finds Islamic terrorism to be a horrifying perversion of his faith.
Why, then, did all these teenagers and young men turn to jihad terror, after presumably having been carefully taught at their homes and the local mosque that it was a twisted, hijacked version of the true, peaceful religion of Islam?
…they were likely taught the Qur’an, including its frequent denunciations of Jews and calls for violence against unbelievers. They took those teachings to heart and began making plans to act upon them.
