You are correct, and if a Muslim's faith is healthy and their perspective on that faith is accurate and residing at a higher energy level that promotes peace and understanding, then it's fair to say that no unjust violence should come from being a Muslim or following the Qur'an.

However, The terrorists that pose a security threat to our country have a single common denominator. They are Muslims who happen to have a very unhealthy and agressively violent understanding of what the principle tenets of Islam inform them to be their religious obligation to Allah, and they have the intent to carry out what they perceive that obligation to be. In many, and I daresay most cases that particular outlook is the result of religious manipulation on behalf of a religious leader. Yes, cases of this are also rampant in Christianity. Yes, Christianity has been the root of violence within our country and abroad. However, if we are correct in our understanding, which we are, that these terrorist acts of violence toward our country are religiously motivated, be it rational or irrational, it makes little to no sense to allow people who even loosely adhere to the same religious ideology to be in the position of defending and possibly infiltrating our national security.
