Well you should at least name a few factors contributing to terrorism that you consider to be of greater influence than Islam.
There aren't any.

It's well established that a strong correlation exists between Islam and terrorism, at home and abroad.
Almost all terrorists self-identify as Muslims, come from predominantly Muslim countries, etc...  Do you seriously not know that?
They're Muslims from Muslim countries because those are the ones that have become destabilized from war lately and have power vacuums. People then use religion as justification for taking control (ie we are x sect muslims so you must conform to us or get beheaded) even though most Muslims don't believe that should happen. Same thing happened with colonization. We justified it as "civilizing the barbarians" by bringing them Christianity even though colonists did tons of horrible things like rape, pillage, and murder tribes (things Christians detest.) It's not because of the religion. The Old Testament says lots of horrible things that no Christian or Jew follows. It's because starfishs want to pick and choose everything from the book that they want to take literally so they have an excuse to take power.

First of all, consider the fact that Germany united under the banner of racial superiority in response to the struggles they had in the Weimar Republic. It was a common trait among most of the German populace, and it allowed them a higher ground to persecute minorities during the Holocaust.

The borders in the Middle East are the result of European imperialists who drew borders based on geographic features and political preferences, rather than ethnoreligious boundaries. As a result, Iraq looks like this:



The problems with the Middle East run really deep into 20th century history, but the fact of the matter is that lots of groups in the Middle East are extremely pissed at Western civilization for the fact that we've continuously invaded their lands for the past century (likewise we're pissed at them because they kill our soldiers and blow up our buildings). It is logistically impossible for them to unite against us under an ethnic or national identity, because the ethnic groups are fragmented and the national borders were invented by colonialists. Instead, they unite under the fact that they share a common religion: Sunni Islam.

The way I look at it is that religion is a convenient common trait that they can unite with, in opposition to Westerners. But if another viable ideology existed which Iraqis, or Syrians, or Arabs in general could unite under, they might have picked it instead.

"Hello darkness my old friend."


it's difficult to get people to perform when Andrea Bocelli (blind opera singer) was receiving death threats for agreeing to perform to the extent he said he could not perform because he was so afraid for his safety.

To threaten a physically disabled man with violence for any reason is just disgraceful and despicable.

wow..... what a cuck............

They seem to be able to unite against Israel pretty well amirite
