Monkey, I think there is an argument that the Saudis and Americans, in cahoots with Pakistan, funded and initiated the war with Russia in Afghanistan. It was sold as a jihad for recruiting and whipping them into the appropriate motivational state to take them on and boot them out of Afghanistan. One might argue the Saudis were more responsibility for the ideological approach than we were, but it appears it was a joint plan. As a result of the jihad, tens of thousands from all around the ME were 'radicalized' and ended up staying that way, not to mention spreading their ideology and teachings further, esp. in Afghanistan and Pakistan (and the Pashtuns of Afghanistan were taught in taliban madrassas in Pakistan).

I also agree with you that this is not anywhere near the sole factor, but I think it was a contributing factor.

Good example with the Crusades. Can't blame it on any war undertaken against Muslims. Not to go to war with Muslims to avoid provoking more Muslims is appeasement and it's nuts! Give them an inch, they'll take a mile. And the strong horse wins.

Due - I strongly DISAGREE with him about our having 'radicalized the muslims' in Afghanistan.

No, we did not. To say such, is to GROSSLY distort history.

Those a-hoes WERE ALREADY RADICALIZED - albeit, without the advanced tactical training that the United States STUPIDLY provided to them.

Remember Lebanon - the Marine Barracks ?

Like I said - STRONGLY DISAGREE.

The MUSLIMS have been raving terrorists against EVERYBODY - including their own various sects - FOR CENTURIES.

It is kinda like people claiming that the 'Crusades' caused 'Muslim Terrorism' - or that the 'Crusades' were anglo-phile, naked aggression by Christians against an 'innocent' muslim occupation. Nope - Better check history folk - the MUSLIM MASSACRES were happening PRIOR to the Crusades and were the major cause celebre of the Crusades.


I do not buy this train of thought even ONE IOTA that 'we' are responsible for 'teaching violent jihaad' to the muslims.

Claptrap.
