'''Sudden Jihad Syndrome''' is a term [[Daniel Pipes]] coined to describe [[Muslims]] that suddenly or unexpectedly turn against others and engage in acts of terror.<ref>"...a widespread pattern of Muslims who lead quiet lives before turning to terrorism" [http://www.nysun.com/pf.php?id=29080]</ref> Pipes has argued that due to this phenomenon all [[Islamist]]s must be considered potential terrorists.<ref> "Individual [[Islamist]]s may appear law-abiding and reasonable, but they are part of a totalitarian movement, and as such, all must be considered potential killers." [http://www.city-journal.org/html/11_4_fighting_militant.html]</ref>

{{quotation|In brief, Mr. Taheriazar represents the ultimate Islamist nightmare: a seemingly well-adjusted Muslim whose religion inspires him, out of the blue, to murder non-Muslims.}}
Examples include:
* [[John Allen Muhammad]] and [[Lee Malvo]], the so-called Washington snipers. John Allen Muhammad was a Muslim converst, but some people allege that his motivations may not have been religious. <ref>http://archives.cnn.com/2002/US/10/24/muhammad.profile/index.html</ref> <ref>http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/12/01/sprj.dcsp.malvo.trial/index.html</ref>

*[[Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar]], an American Muslim born in Tehran who ran over students at the [[University of North Carolina]] to punish the United States.
