Is there a pattern?

"I will make your [Hagar's] descendants so numerous,” added the LORD’s angel, “that they will be too many to count.” Then the LORD’s angel said to her: “You are now pregnant and shall bear a son; you shall name him Ishmael, For the LORD has heeded your affliction. He shall be a wild ass of a man, his hand against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him; Alongside all his kindred shall he encamp.”

Genesis 16:10-12

Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise. At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.” Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.

Galatians 4:28-31

[The following post was adapted from an email I recently received. Of course, there are many millions of loving, law-abiding Muslims in the world. This email, however, describes the radicals in their camp that are far too numerous. Remember: Jesus descended through Isaac; Mohammad descended through Ishmael.] 

THIS SUMS IT UP:          

• The Shoe Bomber was a Muslim
• The Beltway Snipers were Muslims
• The Fort Hood Shooter was a Muslim
• The underwear Bomber was a Muslim
• The U.S.S. Cole Bombers were Muslims
• The Madrid Train Bombers were Muslims
• The Bafi Nightclub Bombers were Muslims
• The London Subway Bombers were Muslims
• The Moscow Theatre Attackers were Muslims
• The Boston Marathon Bombers were Muslims
• The Pan-Am flight #93 Bombers were Muslims
• The Air France Entebbe Hijackers were Muslims
• The Iranian Embassy Takeover, was by Muslims
• The Beirut U.S. Embassy bombers were Muslims

THINK OF IT:

• Buddhists living with Hindus = No major problem
• Hindus living with Christians = No major problem
• Hindus living with Jews = No major problem
• Christians living with Shintos = No major problem
• Shintos living with Confucians = No major problem
• Confucians living with Baha'is = No major problem
• Baha'is living with Jews = No major problem
• Jews living with Atheists = No major problem
• Atheists living with Buddhists = No major problem
• Buddhists living with Sikhs = No major problem
• Sikhs living with Hindus = No major problem
• Hindus living with Baha'is = No major problem
• Baha'is living with Christians = No major problem
• Christians living with Jews = No major problem
• Jews living with Buddhists = No major problem
• Buddhists living with Shintos = No major problem
• Shintos living with Atheists = No major problem
• Atheists living with Confucians = No major problem
• Confusians living with Hindus = No major problem

YET,

• Muslims living with Hindus = Major problem
• Muslims living with Buddhists = Major problem
• Muslims living with Christians = Major problem
• Muslims living with Jews = Major problem
• Muslims living with Sikhs = Major problem
• Muslims living with Baha'is = Major problem
• Muslims living with Shintos = Major problem
• Muslims living with Atheists = Major problem
• MUSLIMS LIVING WITH MUSLIMS = MAJOR PROBLEM

IT IS CLEAR THAT:

• Many Muslims are not happy in Gaza
• They're not happy in Egypt
• They're not happy in Libya
• They're not happy in Morocco
• They're not happy in Iran
• They're not happy in Iraq
• They're not happy in Yemen
• They're not happy in Afghanistan
• They're not happy in Pakistan
• They're not happy in Syria
• They're not happy in Lebanon
• They're not happy in Nigeria
• They're not happy in Kenya
• They're not happy in Sudan

SO, THEY SEEK TO FIND HAPPINESS BY:

• Moving to Australia
• Moving to England
• Moving to Belgium
• Moving to France
• Moving to Italy
• Moving to Germany
• Moving to Sweden
• Moving to USA 
• Moving to Canada
• Moving to Norway 
• Moving to India

They seek to find happiness in almost every country that is not Islamic! 

And when they do not find happiness there, who do they blame? 

Not Islam... 

Not their leadership... 

Not themselves... 

THEY BLAME THEIR UNHAPPINESS ON THE FACT THAT

THE WORLD IS NOT ISLAMIST ENOUGH! 

THE RESULT?

• Islamic Jihad: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• ISIS : AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• Al-Qaeda: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• Taliban: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• Hamas: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• Hezbollah: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• Boko Haram: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• Al-Nusra: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• Abu Sayyaf: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• Al-Badr: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• Muslim Brotherhood: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• Lashkar-e-Taiba: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• Palestine Liberation Front: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• Ansaru: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• Jemaah Islamiyah: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• Abdullah Azzam Brigades: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
• AND A LOT MORE !

PERHAPS THEY SHOULD SEEK TO FIND 

PEACE AND HAPPINESS IN ANOTHER RELIGION.

I HAVE A SUGGESTION...

8/1/16 UPDATE: Clearly, this post was written before the violence escalated even further, as described in this news article: 'One ISIS attack every 84 hours' spurs dread and anger in Europe.
