Of course not, they attacked us out of religion-related hate.


No doubt that is part of the reason,but why is that,do you not think it has to do with US foreign policy in the middle-east by any chance ?

So why didn't they attack Brazil?


I am not well informed on the status of Islamic terror in Brazil, but it is most certainly not confined to the US. There have been thousands and thousands of terroristic attacks since 9/11 (thereligionofpeace.org), none in the US. They hate the US more, perhaps, because it is the most powerful nation and symbolic of the West.

I'm thinking it has to do with frothing support for a certain nice, yet not so nice country.

They have a term for this... it starts with an X or a Z, not sure which.

Well if you count this as a terrorist attack:

"A man is shot to death by Muslim militants while riding home on a motorcycle."

or

"A villager is shot three times in the head by Islamists."

or

"A villager on his way to work is shot to death by Muslim terrorists."



----------------------

According to your website, any violence from Muslims is automatically "terrorist"....

Okay, shooting dozens of people tends to instill fear in those around them. But even if this were not the case 'terrorism' has become little more than a word for Islamist activity.

Yeah, and me knocking over porta-johns could also instill fear in all around me.

Ever been in a port-a-potty when someone tipped it, door facing down?

Courts let you slide for killing over that.

Terrorism, in the modern sense,[2] is violence against civilians to achieve political or ideological objectives by creating fear

This from wikipedia. You might notice that shootings fit, no matter what you feel like terrorism should be.

....and by this same definition how much terrorism has the United Sates caused?

Oh and by the way a shooting is only terrorism if it is done for a "political or ideological objective"!
