Many converts to Islam are more zealous than those who are born into it; learning as much about their new found faith as they can. When they do that, the only conclusion that they can draw is that Islam's deity endorses terrorism and rewards the terrorists. The hate for non-Muslims found in Islam is quickly picked up by those who convert to it. As a result, these converts often turn to the practice or support of terrorism and violence; often showing hatred for their own countries, people, and their former way of life. (read more)
