Iv'e posted a comment a several days ago and when I rechecked it today I noticed that there was a discussion there in which I didn't have my say.
a reply to this thread
This is my rebuttal.
The first reaction of a hardy Kossack liberal to the statement I made in my comment:
Terror originates from islam and we have with deal with that
would be to immediatly give examples on other terrorist organizations throughout histroy (and indeed there were non-islamic terrorist org.) while immediatly assuming that the commenter believes that Islam = terrorism.
Sadly , this is partially true.
I would very much like to agree with you, but the facts speak for themselves.
There is an ongoing process of radicalization in the Muslim world, led by Iran , that aimes for disposing of the Arab nationalist states and replace them with Islamic theocracies.
Iran , in order to achieve that goal , means to put its hand on an atomic bomb , which will give it the status of a regional power and the only such nation in the region to hold a WMD except for Israel.
WMDs will grant Iran the halo of a Muslim superpower it wishes to achieve in order to strengthen its influence across the Muslim and Arab world.
This worrying process is acompannied by troubling statements by the Iranian president saying that Israel should be "wiped off the map" and recent declarations that "a big change" is about to happen in the mideast.
The strengthening of the Muslim Brotherhood who has openly declared it wishes to establish an Islamic empire from "Spain to Indonesia" is another worrisome trend. some relatively moderate regimes in the Arab world hang in the balance (Jordan) or already have formed strategic alliances with Iran (Syria [not moderate]).
The Muslim brotherhood recieved 20% of the vote in the recent egypt elections , making it the largest opposition party (note that these elections aren't in the standard wer'e used to in the west and many experts speculate that the muslim brotherhood would have easily won an open election) and , in the form of hamas , has risen to power in the PA.
This process is acompannied by a severe use of fasict,racist and violent rhetoric unheard of since WWII (not by churchill) and the occasional kill-as-many-americans/british/jews-as you can which the west tries to forget and put behind it as soon as possible.
Many western scholars argue that a global Islamic revolution might unite the warring Suni and Shi'ite factions of Islam for a global offensive against the west , a trend begining to show , when recently the al-qaeda "vice-president" issued a support statement for hizballah in its war against the "zionist entity".
In America and in Europe , more and more Muslims identify themselves with the "moqawama" (resistance) or the "jihad" against america and Israel (and the west).
In a recent poll in England , about 11% of Muslims are said to actually support the 7/7 bombings and 20% more "disagree but sympathize" with the 7/7 bombings and the Jihad against the UK.
All of the terrorists caught in the recent attempt to blow up jets in the UK in the 7/7 bombings were BRITISH BORN MUSLIMS. (Although the press called them "asian youth").
I'll get to my point.
Islam today has a cancer inside of it. It's big.
It's not a small minority group anymore.
There are literally tens of millions of muslims that support global Jihad. There are countries who sponser worldwide terrorism. this is a fact WE MUSTN'T IGNORE.
i believe the west has to recognize this problem and deal with it militarily as soon as possible , to prevent a future deathtoll unheard of even in WW2.
so yes - terrorism , today , mainly originates from Islam. the global-international-anti-west-terror we see today is 100% Islamic and wer'e , sadly , at the tip of the iceberg.
You can throw your PC at me all you want. Global Terrorism? Radical Islam's fault. Hizballah taking Lebanon hostage? Radical Islam's fault. The coup in Somalia - Radical Islam's fault. The war in chuchnia and in afghanistan - Radical Islam's fault. Israelies blowing up in busses - Radical Islam's fault.
DEAL WITH IT. NOW.
