    Laughable. Islamic terror and expansionism started 900 years before the US even existed. it took a break during the secularism introduced in colonial times and shortly after. Europe never should have given those countries their independence.

    I think the difference, from where I'm standing, is that one has been completely blown out of proportion and is the 'go to' bad guy for everything under the sun, justifying foreign policy excursions, military buildup & defense expenditure, privacy violations, & fear mongering in the extreme.

    The other one has been 'brushed under the carpet' and is being covered up, while it continues to build like a pus-filled boil.


    Spot on again, @bondjames! =D>

    Want to guess who pushed for rapid decolonization in order to achieve its own sphere of influence after WOII, it being part of the MARSHALL plan?
    The recent war on Terrorism achieved nothing for the west except as bloody expensive recruitment poster for radical religious nutcases.

    There was no Islamic terrorism just expansionism as there was a Christian version of that as well. Which proves only that religious convictions have not changed that much in the last 1000 years

    Terrorism as term is abused these days by people that like to create a sphere of fear which again is justified for paying for a war industry.
