Sadly terrorists can come from anywhere and support any cause. These are not the first terrorists the world has dealt with and probably they won't be the last.

If we provide hope and a future then young people will not be drawn towards radicalization. If they have a firm foundation to base their lives on they will not be tempted by an uncertain future.  It is up to us who are adults now to be there for the younger generation. They need us now more than ever.

I have been watching CNN a lot.  There was a woman on who grew up as Muslim and she was very intelligent and she said that what Islam teaches about Mohammad is that he was radical and many are following that as they become teens.  They are told either to believe that or be ostracized. Their are millions of Muslims who are learning this today.  

I do agree that we need to teach our kids to be moral and good and all that but we are really up against a beast with Jihad.  They are threatening the US now, too.  I have been having nightmares every night since the Paris terrorists did what they did last Friday.  There are so many Jihadists out there who just want to kill any Americans they can now.  They are said to have sleeper cells of terrorists in all 50 of the states.  This is what world intelligence is saying.  It's very scary.  We have to be on guard.
