NO NO...you don't understand. You see we are justified in what we do and they are not. Because, after all... we are us and they are them. Here is an issue that is a century old but little understood by ANYBODY in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_United_States–Middle_East_economic_relations
This has nothing to do with economics. Plenty of muslims take their religion very seriously, even if people like you don't.
Well...I would instruct you in what history and economics has to do with Isis's hate for the US but why should I bother? You'll have to pay $1200 for my course...or you could read a book or two.
Just 2 cents: It takes time, probably a very long time span! We never know. The development history of modern Christianity could be a useful reference for them. Being serious in their Muslim religion can be a good thing. They will become much more open minded later, after spending time in serious studies of religions. Especially in a western academia environment. Nowadays, some theological colleges previously of Christian background are having Muslim studies. http://www.csu.edu.au/courses/bachelor-of-islamic-studies http://www.emmanuel.utoronto.ca/academics/muslim2.htm https://iis.univie.ac.at/en/studies...ries-islamic-theology-as-a-science-in-europe/ http://www.uwtsd.ac.uk/research/theology-religious-and-islamic-studies/ http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/postgraduate/courses/research/thr/islam-christian-muslim-relations.aspx
Let's assume you are right, even though you aren't. What freakin' difference does it make? I really could care less if they have legitimate grievances or not. Are we supposed to overlook their barbaric terrorism? In point of fact, they are acting just as we would expect good muslims to act. They are following their leader's instructions to the letter. We are in a war against a sizeable portion of islam. The fact that we don't want to admit it doesn't change anything.
You sure like sticking up for the terrorists don't you? Why not try sticking up for the innocent women and children who are murdered regularly by them? They have no remorse and no conscious! No, you can't do that. That would be normal. And normal you are not.
You mean like the hundreds of thousands of Muslim children and women the Christian West has killed? The West have been the terrorists. But yes, I agree, there needs to be much more gun control and banning of hand guns and assault rifles. Too many innocent women and children are being killed.
