==Sudden Jihad Syndrome==
"Sudden Jihad Syndrome" is a term coined by [[neoconservative]] academic [[Daniel Pipes]] to describe [[Muslims]] that suddenly or unexpectedly turn against civilized, Western society and engage in acts of terror.<ref>http://www.nysun.com/pf.php?id=29080</ref> Pipes has argued that due to this phenomenon all Muslims must be considered potential terrorists.<ref>http://www.city-journal.org/html/11_4_fighting_militant.html</ref>
Examples include:
* [[John Allen Muhammad]] and [[Lee Malvo]], the so-called Washington snipers. John Allen Muhammad was a Muslim convert, 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>
* [[Ali Hassan Abu Kamal]], a [[Palestinian]] school teacher who engaged in a shooting rampage on top of the [[Empire State Building]]. He killed one and wounded six before taking his own life.<ref>http://archive.southcoasttoday.com/daily/02-97/02-25-97/a05wn036.htm</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. Taheri-azar was the first terrorist to be explicitly called an example of Sudden Jihad Syndrome by Daniel Pipes.<ref>http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID={730A921C-1FED-4DCD-9949-D28A3390317D}</ref>

* [[Rashid Baz]], a Lebanese can driver living in [[New York City]] who shot at a van full of [[Orthodox Jew|Orthodox Jews]].<ref name=Meforum>http://www.meforum.org/article/77</ref> In a burst of [[political correctness]], the [[FBI]] initially refused to label this act a terrorist act.<ref name=Meforum/>
