  I wonder if you know who founded islam and the basic tenets of the religion you are trying to dissociate from terrorism. These are the words of prophet Mohammed as quoted in Bukhari: 'I have been made victorious by terror.' Here we see the founder of islam boasting of how he has employed terrorism as a means of cowing people(non-muslims) into summitting to him and his religion. For example the prophet was known for assassination of his critiques or those who questioned his actions; unlike other prophets who left their detracters to the judgement of God. Again his exploits for beheading people sometimes for no obvious reasons eg. the beheading of 800 Jewish men and the raping of their women that same day, had gone both far and near. As a result, when he lead his soldiers to fight the people of Mecca the pagans rather chose to hand over their gods to him for destruction out of fear of being terrorised like was done to others.
  Again Mohammed is quoted in the scriptures as saying that he(and muslims for that matter) have been commanded to fight disbelievers until they submit to Allah. That is why Mohammed fought more battles than is possible for an old man. That also explains why the most pious muslims in history were warlords who conquered and imposed islam on north Africa and Asia and attempted the west for centuries which eventually
  crusades.
  The concept of the caliphate which failed in past which ISIS is trying to achieve is in the islamic scriptures and theology. It is not a creation of America. The concept is that muslims must conquer the world through jihad (which actual meaning they are trying to hid from unbelievers) and put the whole world under one islamic ruler. All laws are to abolished and replaced with islamic law. All beliefs are to be abolished except christianity and judaism whose followers pay a special tax called jizyiah or choose between convertion to islam and death if they if they can't afford it.
  Basically this is the islamic background to islamic terrorism and it is amazing how you and your type can ignore this fact in your analysis. Is this deliberate or out of ignorance?

  The problem is the Abraham religions.The fact is that the priests of the Abram religions have exploited it to commit many crimes against humanity, being the inquisition, the wars of the spread of Islam, slavery, colonization, neocolonialism, apartheid and racial segregation.
  The priests of the Abraham religions were all the time used by the imperialist to oppose national liberation movements. In most cases they succeed to create a state from the newly liberated country as a puppet state. The evidence if from the Indian struggle for independence and the creation of Islamic East and West Pakistan. Islam was again used to suppress and oppress the independence struggle of the people of Algeria. It will interest you that some of the leaders of these Islamic terrorist organizations are mainly descendants of those Algerian Muslims who opposed her independence from France, who now live in France and form a large Muslim population. Christianity has been used and is still been used through covert and overt means to suppress the socioeconomic freedom of the majority of neocolonies.
  In Ghana a great part was played by the Christian church to prepare the citizen towards the 24/2/1966 coup, which the church planned with foreign secret service elements and the Zionist state of Israel was not left out of the coup that put a spoke in the wheel of Ghana's development.
  On the forefront was the Catholic Church. It is on record how the Anglican Church through Bishop Abel Mozurewa and Rev. Nbadningi Sitole were used to maintain the apartheid socioeconomic policy, however they failed due to the awareness of the people of Zimbabwe and leaders of their liberation movements. The Catholic Church played the same negative role in the liberation of Portuguese and Spanish colonies in Africa. It is on record that even the racial segregation policies were promoted and supported by Christian, Muslims and Zionists.
  It is a fact that the state of Israel was a creation of U.S. and Western Europe to further their neocolonialist policies against the people of the Middle East and Africa.
  One must note that whiles Israel claims that she abhor fascism she was friend of Latin American fascist regimes, Spanish and Portuguese colonialist and apartheid in Southern Africa. Israel is a country without any moral and human face.
