everyday in the U.S.. Why are the "decent" muslims of the world going after the radical, terrorist, pro-jihad muslims in the same manner? Are they really just too afraid? Or do they secretly condone?!?

I meant "why aren't" NOT "why are". Sry.

i recommend the following book:
Billions of people share the belief that the creator of the universe wrote (or dictated) one While religious tolerance is surely better than religious war, tolerance is not without its problems. Out fear of provoking religious hatred has rendered us unwilling to criticize ideas that are maladaptive. It has obliged us to lie to ourselves—repeatedly and at the highest levels of discourse—about the compatibility of religion and scientific rationality. Our competing religious certainties are impeding the emergence of a viable global civilization. Religious faith—faith that there is a God who cares what His name is called, faith that Jesus is coming back to earth—is on the wrong side of an increasing war of ideas—“Letter to a Christian Nation” by Sam Harris

I'm a born-again Christian and quite sane, thank you.
Jihad is the duty of ALL Muslims, according to their Quran. Some just take it further than others.
In the Bible, God commands us to love others.
In the Quran, Muhammad says Muslims are "not forbidden" to let others live (unless we reject Islam).

All you will get is gibberish and platitudes about Islam being peaceful and whatever. There are heroic Islamics confronting extremists everyday, in the battle zones. The rest, hide their heads in the sand, and I believe, trust in the Koran, which tells them to do EXACTLY what they are doing, and secretly cheer them on.
