'He was having fun': Student who stabbed four on California university campus identified

A construction worker who ran into a California university classroom to break up what he thought was a fight is being hailed as a hero for preventing a student armed with a hunting knife from possibly killing his intended target.

Yes, I believe they are just like we have extremists of many faiths in this country.

Yes 1SG Scott MacGregor there are Muslim extremists in this nation - they have shot up USMC and USN serviced members in Tennessee earlier this year, one of them attacked others with a knife at UC-Merced yesterday, they have occupied areas in Minn, Tenn, Oregon, and NY to name places.

Yes - as well as Christian extremists, Racists, and other fear mongering/hateful groups.

Of course they are here and thanks to our open borders and uncontrolled immigration they have no problem getting here.

The question is legitimate; the picture is not.
In reference to the question, there is little doubt that there are extremists present in the US. The real question is what to do about it.
Here in Minnesota, home to a large community of Somali ex-patriots, the threat is more subtle - fertile ground to recruit and a significant revenue stream back to the old country. The FBI has a very active field office here.

1SG Scott MacGregor Theres a church sign generator on the Internet so I find your illustration questionable.

Yes I am sure that there are Muslim terrorists in this country but not in any great number and not really a great threat.

1SG Scott MacGregor Apparently, Minnesota is a hotbed for terrorist recruiting. I don't know why, but there have been a large number of young men from Minnesota who have gone to join ISIL.

Minnesota leads the nation in would-be ISIL terrorists from U.S., report finds

Minnesota recruits lead the nation in the number of people who have left the country to fight with terrorists aligned with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in Syria, according to a scathing congressional report.

Every kind of religion has extremists in the U.S., I guarantee it. It's a question of numbers and motivation. I'm significantly more concerned with militias and Christian extremist groups, since there are far more of them in our nation.

We took an oath to defend against all enemies of the Constitution. Foreign and domestic. We need new strategy in conjunction with a firm intellectual argument that is unquestionably traced to defense of our nation and its rules. We already took the oath so we need leadership.

Absolutely, both home-grown and imported. And more will be arriving soon if we take a bunch of unscreened refugees from Syria. I am entirely sure that Da'esh has planted thousands of sleepers into the 4.5 million refugees now invading Europe.

There is no such thing as an Islamic extremist.
