thermo i think it is you who hates and/or misunderstands islamic culture not islamic culture who hates you.

Terrorism is rare. Not an everyday occuance. It is the fear of terrorism that is an everyday occurance for some. I speak this from being from Nothern Ireland.

It’s not Islam that I hate, its religious intolerance that I hate. It is lack of separation between religion and state that I hate. Religion has become a dictatorial influence in parts of the world. Iran is run by Islamic fundamentalists. The Saudis rule so long as they appease the clerics. As does the king of Syria. I do not see the clerics in the west sending kids out as bombs. I do not see the western religions taking control of western countries. Is any western church off limits to people of the wrong religion? I think not. I realize the men have perverted Islam from what it once was, but this is no excuse or reason to give them freedom to spread there cancer.

As to terror not being a daily occurrence, it is only the hard work of the democratic world that prevents this. If the Islamic nations of the world decided to prosecute terrorism and those who preach it, the Islamic terrorism would subside. If we in the west continue to absorb the blows, it will get worse. War is diplomacy by other means. Terrorism is war against the innocent.

Now I pose a question. What reason did the 9-11 crew have for their attacks? What was America doing that was causing them so much harm that they needed to go to war?

IMHO, their goals were not as is stated in the media.
