The Root Causes of Terrorism

What we've done wrong according to Jeff Goldstein:

1. Abu Ghraib / Gitmo
2. Supporting Israel
3. Women drivers
4. Allowing homosexuals to live
5. Infidel boots on sacred Muslim soil (though not sacred enough that keeping open the option to target that sacred soil might conceivably act as a deterrent against WMD attacks in US cities)
6. R-rated movies / freedom
7. Pork
8. An unwillingness on the part of the majority of Westerners to submit to the will of Allah and Sharia law…
9. Harry Potter

Political analyst F. J. Fleming has related thoughts.

Yes, many voices in the Islamic world are still beating the 'Crusades' drum. Even though the West has forgotten the Islamic drive to conquer Europe which triggered the Crusades in the first place.
