Please pay close attention to what happens after 2002...

I wonder what could have caused this extreme spike in terrorist attacks...
You are correct as this was after Bush made up the term "racial Islam". There is no racial Islam , just Islam. Bush made the exact same mistake President Adams made.

Just because the 9/11 terrorists came from Saudi Arabia doesn't mean the state sent them out to attack America. From what I saw when Trump went to Saudi Arabia, they're just as committed to fighting terror as we are.

Saudi Arabia is ONLY concerned with keeping the Royal family in control.

The war (WW3) must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion.
WW3 - Albert Pike and the Three World Wars

So far, so bad:(

Alternatively, "freak out about terrorism, empower the terrorists, make the situation worse."

Succumbing to the fear, by not speaking out against it has had negative effects in other similar abusive situations. From top to bottom.

So you think you know more about what the Quran teaches than all those men who died in the name of Allah? It's not just my interpretation but the one who killing people and dying in the name of Allah. People normally don't die for something they know is a lie. Most of these terrorist knows exactly what the Quran teaches and willingly to die for it.
As a Christian why are you defending an anti-Christ religion and ideology?

The reason the West divided up the Ottoman empire the beginning with as each party desire is they will be the ones to reunite the Ottoman Empire. Do you think the Saudi Arabia is not interested in conquering the Middle East themselves? Why else would Saudi Arabia spending so much on their military. ISIS and Saudi Arabia are the same.
Don't forget the West were the ones who drew those lines in the sand.

There are no Amish suicide bombers because the fundamentals of their teaching condemns such acts.

There are Muslim suicide bombers because the fundamentals of their teachings encourage such acts.

Fundamentalism is never the issue. It's always a matter of what the fundamentals are.

Could you please show us just were it says that suicide is OK and that bombing innocents is OK and that it is a fundamental part of Islam.

Quran (2:191-193)

Quran (2:244)

Quran (2:216)

Quran (4:89)

Quran (4:95)

Quran (4:104) - "And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy; if you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain..."


Do make a lot of jam from all those cherries you pick?

2:191-193? What does 2:190 say? I’ll help you out, “Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors.”

191 “And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.”

192 “And if they cease, then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.”

193 “Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah and [until] worship is [acknowledged to be] for Allah . But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors.”

Let’s go on…

194 “[Fighting in] the sacred month is for [aggression committed in] the sacred month, and for [all] violations is legal retribution. So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you. And fear Allah and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.”

195 “And spend in the way of Allah and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]. And do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good.”



Sooooooo, nothing about suicide or bombing innocents.

Sooooooo, nothing about suicide or bombing innocents.

One would think a suicide bomber would take those verses into consideration before ending *his own life*. Yet they don't.

There are around 400 to 500 suicide bombings per year, and up to 62% of Muslims, in some areas, believe suicide bombings are "sometimes or often" necessary.

Muslim Views on Suicide Bombing

...So what the heck?
