@briansol,
Not totally true. Madrid bombings, sure the Spanish were in Ieaq at the time, but the terrorists were North African, they are hardy involved in Iraqi politics and war. Istanbul bombings, secular Muslim majority state, not really that much intervention, 6 Jews killed. The Netherlands, Muslim extremist shoots director critical Islam, openly on the street, in a country that would probably welcome radical Muslims with flowers and ask where they can fin a Koran and convert if hard-pressed. India, non-interventionist country of infidels, bombed. Chaos around the world after Muhammed in Danish cartoons. Violence after the Pope quoted somebody and was taken out of context (You can not say the Vatican is interventionist, no matter how you spin it. Muslim youths in the streets of
France for cultural and religious reasons.
These are just a people with a huge segment of violent jihadists who want to do what the Koran and ahadith tell them to. They are following their religions fundamentals very well, but we refuse to see that and ,make political excuses for them, as if we are the ones to blame. They would be waging violent jihad against the bastion of the West, the greater 'devil' to Israel and Europe's lesser ones, even if there weren't some U.S. military operations in the Middle East.
