Convert to Islam, or die.

With the current situation, anything below paranoia is too insecure. And you're in the US, which (because of its location) is more secure than our weakling, politically-correctness driven Europe.

I don't know man. You're making a generalization that isn't logical. Why would you think any random muslim living out their lives in the world would personally care about waging a holy war on everyone else? What on earth would bring me to go out and buy the gun that my broke college student ass can't afford, go around waving it and trying to convert people to Islam? I'm certainly not encouraged to do so by the Qu'ran, and in fact I'm even told not to. So like the law of human psychology goes, if you see anyone doing something, it's because the benefits of doing so are greater than its costs or at least equal and this applies to muslims too. So all those people out there waging Jihads and whatnot, they think that there's some problem (Israeli occupation issues, American political interference, whatever) that is inconvenient enough to make them stop living their daily lives, pick up guns, risk and in some cases even freely give up their lives to try and make a difference happen. And to also misquote/represent the Qu'ran so they can pick up moral support and numbers on the way. Not the best or the most effective way, but that's all they know how to.

Anyway, back on topic, hell yeah would I 'convert' to whatever you want me to save my life. I'll put my Intro to Acting class skills on full throtle and reduce you to tears with my religious fervour, in fact, the CNN news footage of it might even be up for an Oscar Award. But dude, to actually convert? That's like asking me to renounce gravity. I couldn't do it even if I tried. I have a certain way that I feel the world and morality works that is synonymous with my religious views, and unless you can convince me otherwise, it'll still hold like the way we believe in atoms or the way in the ancients believed in the four elements.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
