>I can can and do blame Islam for Islamic terrorism that increases with the wealth of the Islamic leaders.

Specially the Saudis - the wahhabi are hosted and financed by the royal family... but we won't go there, won't we? Because we all saw the prince walking down the garden path with the preznit, holding hands.

Or the Kosovo and Metohija Albanians - who were given a free hand (specially now), so their three or four decades of smuggling weapons and narcotics all over Europe, "for the cause", is now rewarded with an independent state (huh? - but they already got one, it's called Albania). CIA and USAF helped their KLA while FBI had them on the list of terrorist organizations.

Muslims in Bosnia got all the help from the West they ever wanted, although they were hosting the mujahedeen galore. Even OBL has a Bosnian passport.

And the west was all over Putin for fighting the same guys in Chechnya. Yep, guys with flying manuals and Bosnian passports.

>I hear people say the terrorists are the extremists. I SEE Islam not do anything to stop it, and I SEE Islam upping the financing and indoctrination for it. I SEE Islam showing 'outrage' anytime infidels try to stop terrorism. I SEE Islam jumping, shouting, and dancing in the streets when terrorists are successful.

I see West making a big fuss and doing it in a completely bass ackwards manner. Fighting terrorism with an army? Army can't fight terrorism unless it is ready to be a real occupational army and shoot 50 for 1 like Israelis do now. Not that I condone any occupation - it's a wrong thing to do even if done right, and in Iraq and Afghanistan it's done wrong.

And the US is fighting it where it likes, while helping it where it likes. When it's going against the Russkies, it's OK. If it's going against the Serbs, it's OK, we'll help them - we'll even bomb whoever is on the opposite side. If it's our pals the Saudis, we'll look the other way. But if it's in places where we have our oil, or our tourists, or we plan to build a pipeline... oh, no, we'll fight them.

>What is terrorism related to in almost every case over the last 20 years? The Pope? Lithuanian seperatists? Eskimos? Pygmys?

Let's see it from the beginning (of this round):
Bombing of King David Hotel, the British Military HQ in Jerusalem, by the Zionist group Irgun, with 91 deaths - a mix of military and civilian. This was the first terrorist attack of the modern era in the Middle East.

FF to
1995, 15 cases. 6 Islamic, 2 ETA in Spain, 2 US internal, 2 Sri Lanka, 3 in Latvia, Columbia & Japan.
1999, 13 cases, 8 of them in Jordan, Russia, Pakistan etc - Islamic; 3 internal West (Columbine, Breton Liberation Army in France), 2 in Colombia.
2000: 13, 7 in US, Germany, Russia, Yemen, Indonesia, Phillipines; 3 Colombia; 3 internal to Greece, Latvia, France.

At this random sample, I'd say about a half.
