“Kamal Ataturk was not fighting for an ideology but was fighting for his country. That was his main purpose. On the other hand, the terrorists are fighting for a twisted version of religion.”

Here is the thing, these people hate anyone who is different. They hate the homosexuals. They hate the women. They hate the minorities. The non-Muslims were asked to carry around a specific type of clothing to distinguish them from Muslims under Talibans. Their hatred did not arise because of the western policies. The Buddhist temples that the Talibans destroyed had nothing to do with the american policies.

The west is different and that’s why they hate us. They blame every single of their problems on the west just like how Nazis used to blame all their problems on Jews. Therefore, they would have attacked us no matter what. They might not have blown away the twin towers but they might have attacked Americans in the middle-east. They would have bombed American embassies and others. That’s why I said in my post that the west is partially to be blamed but not totally. I believe that if a citizen of Canada or the US dies anywhere around the world it’s a direct offense.

This is not true and a little research on your part would show it. Terrorism is blow back for US policies. Best way to end terrorism is to cease meddling in the affairs of Middle Eastern countries.Terrorists are also handy enemies to have to rationalize the obscene military expenditure which is a gift to the military industrial complex. (Even better than the Russians since they are a permanent enemy, that cannot be defeated.
