Sudden Jihad Syndrome

Sudden Jihad Syndrome is a term coined by Daniel Pipes to describe Muslims that suddenly or unexpectedly turn against civilized, Western society and engage in acts of terror.http://www.nysun.com/pf.php?id=29080 Pipes has argued that due to this phenomenon all Muslims must be considered potential terrorists.http://www.city-journal.org/html/11_4_fighting_militant.html
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.http://archives.cnn.com/2002/US/10/24/muhammad.profile/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/12/01/sprj.dcsp.malvo.trial/index.html
* 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.http://archive.southcoasttoday.com/daily/02-97/02-25-97/a05wn036.htm
*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.http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID={730A921C-1FED-4DCD-9949-D28A3390317D}
* Mujtaba Rabbani Jabbar who shot up a movie theater in Baltimore.,http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/17/AR2006061700725.html * Rashid Baz, a Lebanese can driver living in New York City who shot at a van full of Orthodox Jews.http://www.meforum.org/article/77 In a burst of political correctness, the FBI initially refused to label this act a terrorist act. 
* Sulejman Talovic, a Bosnian Muslim, opened fire in a Salt Lake City mall, killing five people before being shot dead by police.http://www.thecourier.com/opinion/editoral/ar_ED_021607.asp
