Можно ли быть уверенным что это мусульмане первыми напали на запад и начали совершать террористические акты?

Вот все ответы которые я успел получить на Кворе, до того как этот вопрос закрыли.

Terrorism by Islamic people against the United States is rooted in the U.S. interference in “Middle Eastern” affairs to gain control of the oil. That is the simple answer.

Had events played out differently, it is not possible to say what would have happened afterwards. However, taking Iran as an example; had the U.S. not overthrown a secular democratic government to gain control over the oil, we probably would not have seen the rise of the Ayatollah Khomeini and the Embassy hostage situation. had the U.S. not backed Iraq to defeat Iran and supported Saddam Husein then turn against Saddam, then the history of Iraq would be quite different. ISIS formed in Iraq after Saddam fell. Had the US not financed Osama bin Laden to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan then abandon him, the events of 9/11 may not have occurred.

First, what are “Islamists”?

Second, blowing stuff up is pretty much our national pastime. We actually break stuff just for fun, and then cheer about it. It somehow makes our crap beer worth drinking. Peaceful? Really?

Honestly, I like Muslims. It’s a fascinating religion. Also, Halal food is awesome. I think it’s the care and sincerity they put into making it as a form of religious self discipline. Could be pizza, fried chicken, or burgers, it’s all good. Never had bad Halal food; and what is more cultural than food.

Thirdly, what percentage of “Islamists” do you think are part a single, organized terrorist organization, much moreso one called the “Islamists” ?

You know, we do have our own Muslims. ‘Eid’ everybody eats, pretty cool. Aren’t Christians supposed to do that all the time?

1. No you can’t (I’m not a conspiracy theorist but) … obviously many have doubts about “9/11” etc., being organised as a “very strange” excuse for invading Afghanistan.

However, if you take it on face value - the targets make a very clear statement.

The USA had a clear choice - a) Hear the warning, of b) go arud the world hitting out recklessly. They chose the second.

2. The USA has been blissfully free of significant acts of terrorism compared to many other parts of Europe and the middle east and other place.

Uh - “peaceful United States “ Wha?

No, but we can be sure that

* the “peaceful” United States gave Israel lots of weapons with which to kill Muslims who only wanted to keep the land they already owned.
* the “peaceful” United States overthrew the democratically elected government of Iran and installed their friend, and dictator, the Shah.
* the “peaceful” United States props up a lot of dictatorships and monarchies in Muslim lands.
