Young residents of the al-Arabi neighborhood, which had been occupied by Isis until earlier this year, helped to restore the damaged St George's Monastery.
The building, belonging to the Chaldean Catholic tradition, had been vandalized by Isis militants.
According to a Facebook post by the "This is Christian Iraq" page, the youths' aim was to demonstrate that "Mosul is yours as it is ours" and that "our differences are our strength".

Well if you actually visit and/or participate or communicate with the Muslims in your community, you would find that is still the way it is, and that the fanatics you mentioned are typically very far away and not found often in the states.
If it is even 1,000 of them(the crazy ones) across the entire US, it would be severely less than the amount of neo NAZI's or violent American gang members. Hell, the extremists Jews probably got more people in the USA than extremists Muslims.

Neo-Nazis aren't blowing up little girls at concerts or gunning down unarmed gay people in nightclubs.
When was the last time you heard of a neo-Nazi committing an act of savagery like the slaughter in San Bernardino?
I certainly am not a fan of Nazis (who are socialists, BTW), but by and large, these groups are little more than an excuse for some like-minded anti-social-types to sit around and drink beer while they piss and moan about being the losers they are.
They aren't building bomb vests in their spare time.

Anders Brevik and the daily genocides in CAR (aka Africas World War that has killed over 60 million).

Anders Breivik is a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenia who was not involved in any Nazi-like group. He was a nutball.
As for the Africa example -- I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you claiming that (presumably) American neo-Nazi groups are somehow involved in the Central African wars that have been going on for about 80 years now?
You do realize that most American neo-Nazis are too dumb to do something like that, right?
JDL terrorism and other extremist activities
In a 2004 congressional testimony, John S. Pistole, Executive Assistant Director for Counterterrorism and Counterintelligence for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) described the JDL as "a known violent extremist Jewish organization."[100] FBI statistics show that, from 1980 through 1985, there were 18 officially classified terrorist attacks in the U.S. committed by Jews; 15 of those by members of the JDL.[30] According to the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs,[101]

He was involved in the EDL, BNP and Scorpions and called for 50 neo-nazi groups to unite in his manifesto that he'd sen to them.
See the history of the conflict - Belgains used Nazi eugenics to create false divides between Hutu and Tutsi and call on Tutsi to attack while Belgium could quit. The ideology they impossed is the main driving force of the conflict.

I think anyone that knows a person of Muslim faith knows that most of what we're fed by the news is crap.
Hell, I was even asked out by a Muslim woman about a year ago, and we went and had drinks at a bar.
Go figure.
