Facts? Seriously those are your facts?
They are a joke!
I will call them Wahhabi's, since they follow the teachings and example of Ibn Wahab. You can call them whatever you like. I wont hold it against you since you don't know Islam.
But don't blame Muslims for this. Most of us are not Wahhabi's.

I don't practice religion to be honest with you, so I have no god complex. I don't let religion interfere with my life.
have friends, a great family, I go on vacations, I make my own money and I enjoy traveling. I don't need any other outside influence to make me happy.
I treat people the way I am treated, that's what I live by.
If you're going to give me sarcastic and smart remarks,
I'm going to give them back to you twice as hard.
That's how it is. You're right, I'm going to stand up for my country. My family fought in the Civil War for the North and we've built a great life for ourselves here and I'm tired or reading about people bashing what I take pride in.
I've done nothing but ask you to leave me alone after you're smart remarks and you have continued to come back at me. End of story.

They are being radicalized in every single western country. America, UK, Australia, Germany, Sweden etc.
In every single western country they are radicalizing them, then they go overseas and kill Muslims. That IS a fact.
Right now, the numbers are somewhere between 12 and 18 thousand people, each country having their own contribution to the problem.
Germany has about 2 thousand of their people there, America has about 200, UK about 500 - everyone has some of their people there. The radicalization happens in western countries then they go overseas to fight against Muslims.

Most of the radicals are born Muslim and have lived in the parts of the world where they're killing everything in site that doesn't agree with their hard lined stance.

Show me these scriptures & I'll believe you...
But it won't happen...
I can tell you there is only one true interpretation of the Quran...
Therefore only one true way to live an Islamic life...
Anything else is not of Islam...
No matter how much they, the media, or you sadly, claim it is...

As we spoke elsewhere, which I suppose I need to check and see if you responded to my last post again, how can any man say who is in the book of life? And whose version of God's law can we say is the one to go by? And what of freewill?
Not even the Prophet of Islam forced people to belief. No one has that right.
And until God's people who are infallible walk this earth once more - there is no "God's law" because a fallible man can never be just. Until the time appointed by God, all law is secular because NONE of us can say we are "right" and to do so is to refuse to admit our own shortcomings and failings.
All we can ever do is say this is what I believe is right, according to all evidence before me.

I'm not reading any of that and I'm done responding to you. So, you can reply with something quick witted and I no longer have to occupy my time with your garbage. Thanks. Have a Great Day.

How many foreigners have fought in Syria is uncertain. Some reports have placed the number of foreigners fighting on the Syrian rebels’ behalf at 12,000, with the European share of that at 2,000. But a European Union official who asked to remain anonymous because he wasn’t allowed to speak on the record said the number could be higher. “The numbers are more a floor than a ceiling,” he said.
