14. I don't think it's anymore possible for 'Muslims to get in control' of these guys anymore than...

Run of the mill, average Christians or Americans are able to 'get in control' of right wing militia killers, abortion clinic bombers, people who hunt and beat up gays, or the Teabaggers and right wingnuts who have pursued, threatened and destroyed political discussions in this country. At one time those countries had more secular and tolerant societies.

At one time we did, too. These people are being egged on, here and there, by groups that demand authoritarian control over others. They act in criminal ways here and there, and are organized into cults or gangs that their neighbors are afraid of, so much they move away as secular authorities are diminished and communities destroyed.

Most Americans don't want to kill others for their belief in political parties or religion, but they simply feel they have to escape the violence and not get involved. I suspect that is what is going on there, as well.

That's when law enforcement or the military is called to seek order for the majority, which will also be decried as violent and oppressive and the cycle continues.
