Why are we now seeing so many small groups and individuals using the "attack infidels" verses as excuses for killing innocent people who pose no threat to them?

The Quran has existed since Common Era year 609. Have some additional directives been added to the Quran in recent times? I don't recall anywhere near current levels of fanatical, illogical, senseless violence from the followers of Islam, before this century.

Does the Quran also teach that LOVE is more important/powerful than HATE... like the Holy Bible?? If so, can't THOSE passages can be leveraged to combat the violence from Islamic-Muslim radicals who say they are DEVOUT followers of the Quran?

So why is there NOW THIS BIG FLARE UP IN HATE, against countries/people that pose no threat to ISLAM, and have even bent over backwards to facilitate Muslim integration??

How often does this happen, Joshua? Books are just words, until those words are acted upon. Radical Islamic terrorists are acting upon the words in the Quran to murder innocent people who have no beef with them.

Lol just lol...
The Bible specifically tells you that if you are being assaulted and your wife intervenes and try's to stop the assault.. but in the scrum she grabs your opponents Johnson, then you should chop off both her hands and neither man should feel bad for her...
How does love conquer mutilating your wife for helping you in a fight???
Lol..just lol..

It's not a "big flare up", the hate has always been there from that particular group. ISIS and affiliated clerics traditionally call for Ramadan to be a time to pursue violent jihad, so the next few weeks are more likely to see attacks.
Also, "integration" is only a good thing from the perspective of the West. To the people who are bringing violence with them, integration is the exact opposite of what they want. They do not want to integrate with the West, as this is essentially submission. They want the West to submit to Islam or die.
This is why you're not going to fix things with candlelight vigils and twitter hashtags proclaiming love and peace. The bad guys simply aren't interested. There is no middle ground to be negotiated.
Now, at the risk of sounding like I am contradicting myself, that isn't to say that peace, love, and integration are completely useless. These things can help avoid or reduce the marginalisation that feeds into making some people open to radicalisation. Unfortunately, for every one person you might be able to divert, there will still be ten others happily lining up to pull the trigger - and once they reach that stage, you've lost them.

? There have been holliewars conducted for the past two thousand years (and more) carried out by many religions including Islam... What makes you think this past century is any different from most of the last 20?
Because those "holy wars" were not perpetrated against citizens having coffee in France, or children attending events in the United Kingdom. Something has changed...maybe Muslim society is now embracing the darker side of Islam.

Deuteronomy 25:11, 12
If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts,
you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.

There's probably a load more causes but as far as I can tell what it comes down to at the root is either frustrated people with a genuine and valid disdain for the things our government does, who have experienced it firsthand and have come here solely to get some payback and then you have people that are societally isolated that feel impotent and look for a cause to make themselves feel validated and important.
We all want to do something meaningful with our lives, most of us just have a different and more rooted moral compass based on our connections to the people around us.
I doubt ISIS is causing any of this, they just opportunistically piggyback events and claim them because the perpetrators can't deny it when they're dead, it's just cheap propaganda points. It highlights their weakness and inefficiency to move beyond borders if anything.

Their is an agenda, to get the hate machine going , most Muslims are as horrified about the attacks as any normal sane person would be. The agenda is divide and rule as it always has been, if you are to thick to see it ,then you will be a tool of it.
