You speak as if you understand the whole terrorism issue. You put the entire blame to nothing but Islam. Much as i hate to see women in tudung, you have entirely missed the point, your arguments are evasive and presumptious. You assume everything reported in the mainstream media is TRUTH, eg the Sept-11. You assume Islam ask Muslims to go around killing non-Muslims without understanding that everything in a religious book is a subject of interpretation.
The root of terrorism is obviously beyond the comprehension of your simple mind. Terrorists exist because there is a group who feel mistreated (which is true) they are frustrated because no one listens to them, it is beyond their powers to get heard or have any of their objectives fulfilled. The unfortunate mix of religion and abuse by some manipulators ==> Jihadists.
Terrorists kidnap to achieve an objective. They hold a bunch of hostage in a hotel, they lay out their demands. It is easy to say governments should not give in to demands of terrorists but supposing your mother or father or wife is a hostage, will you bark the same way you do now? Terrorists are aggrieved by politicians in developed countries notably USA, we the ordinary citizens are paying for their actions. I don't give a damn if the governments have to cough out 20 billion or release 500 prisoners, but ordinary citizens should not be bearing the consequences of blady politicians.
Btw... terrorists do monitor world political development through their favorite channel... not Channel 5 or 8 but the Al-Jazeera... they dont live under a rock like you think!
