Muslim Extremists: Cheerleading the Killers by Khadija Khan  •  December 25, 2016 at 1:00 pm Cheerleading for killers and terror-mongering has become synonymous with the countries where religious extremists enjoy popular and official support. This is exactly what is wrong with the Muslim world, where masses are kept ignorant by these radical mullahs from the real challenges such as poverty, illiteracy and disease. Instead, at the behest of the powerful extremist regimes such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, which throw unlimited money into poor countries to expand their radicalization, extremist religious parties feed the people with the false notion of the supremacy of their creed. Some of the terrorists have entered Europe with the refugees. If this amount is just one percent, that number comes to 10,000 people. However, the wrong political policies of governments in Europe are also to be blamed for the rise of Islamic extremism in the world: they allowed the existence and breeding of such organizations on their soil at the first place. Time has come for those who are still confused about the acts of these terrorists -- or those who serve as terrorist apologists to try to cover up their deeds after every incident -- to be exposed. A large number of Muslims are already sick and tired of these extremists.

We also saw religious extremists across the Muslim world cheering for the killers of both the Russian envoy and the truck driver in Germany. ISIS hailed the Berlin terror attack and the killing of the Russian ambassador while themselves facing imminent extinction due to massive Russian, European and US led strikes against their strongholds in Mosul, Raqqa, Aleppo and other cities. Terrorists such as ISIS and their sympathizers seemed translating this chaos into another opportunity to pour the "victim narrative" into the minds of naïve Muslim youths apparently in the hope of recruiting more soldiers for their holy war.
