And over the years some truly moderate Islamic scholars have called on Imams to renounce their blasphemy laws. But they refused to do that.
Blasphemy is equivalent to treason which is punishable by death but after a trial.
The extremists are doing just that..taking islamic law to the extreme and skipping the trial.
The problem goes back to the period right after decolonization/independence when the US decided to team up with the Wahabi Saudis over more socialist leaders like Nasser and Qaddafi because they feared growing Soviet influence. When the Soviet and Qaddafi and other regimes eventually fell its no surprise the very rigid Wahabi style filled the vacuum.
Heck when Nasser ascended to power he abolished all religious courts and tried to limit religion in politics and governance.
Which is why in other threads we hear the right calling for the nuking of ALL Muslims, eh?
OK, YOU think about the Ft Hood shooter, WHAT about him should have tipped us off?
That's easy..he was communicating with radicals in the ME and was very anti-American in his views of the war.
That coming from a member of the US Military.
The USG already had that info though and did nothing.
Some article did point that out..all were born in France so they are native French.
I guess France's version of 'anchor babies'.
Not necessarily. The brothers parents were from algeria, which was a french colony until the late 50s. So they most likely had some kind of french citizenship rights before they ever left algeria to come to france.

So did saddam hussein, who at one point had a roman catholic in his cabinet.
There is a lot that is secret about the us relationship with the saudis. On the one hand, the saudis continue to promote wahabbism. On the other, they provide information and other help to the us in our current mideast wars, both covert and declared.
A recent us president was photographed, more than once, holding hands with a saudi prince.

Link....and it better say ALL muslims...

The Associated Press, quoting federal law enforcement officials, said Hasan had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats. The officials said they were still trying to confirm that he was the author.

If not then go find some other example.
Since when is murder for religious reasons the only ones we should try to prevent? By your logic, groups like the murderous Basque separatists and the FALN should be ignored since they don't kill for religious reasons, eh?

For his religion? That's why he murdered those 2 people?
Link that it was because of his religion....if not you have failed.
