IF YOU'RE GOING TO READ/RESPOND READ ALL OF THIS.
Right, this is not an ignorant post, it may however seem like one. So please understand that this is not meant to sound ignorant.
Now, I understand that "Western Terrorism" is a term used to describe the countless crimes and such against Islamic countries around the world,- even media portrayal to a certain extent.
One of the main reasons given for terrorist attacks on western nations is western "interference" within Muslim countries.
Most of these acts are committed by citizens of, or people who perceive to be linked to certain countries. So therefore, why are there no Western acts of terrorism against the Muslim world, or Muslim countries, committed by the citizen or person with a felt link to say France or the US?
Why are there no attempts by British citizens, for instance, to bomb Iran or say, Turkey?
Shorter version: If citizens of Muslim countries, or people who perceive/feel a link to these countries attack Western states for the actions of western states, why has there been no British or citizen of the Western world attack Iran or another Muslim state? -> Read above/below,- i've tried to make this as objective and politically correct as possible, it's purely about the no attack vs attack in this.
Why do you think this is?
*Muslim: the word used by the terrorists to describe their beliefs (NOT ME),- I am using this term because this is the word they use, not because I feel they represent Muslim opinion.
Like I have used the word Western terrorism to describe the actions of our governments and security services,- these do not reflect public opinion wholly either.
* I am not condoning terrorism, terrorist attacks or anything of the sort.
* This is not to debate the legality of things which happen, the ethics of terrorism or anything.
* No racist comments please, this is not about race, religion or nationality.
"One mans terrorist is another man's freedom fighter"
Western states are not innocent victims,- people are though,- no matter what country they are from.
I DO NOT SUPPORT TERRORIST ATTACKS IN RETALIATION.
If people cannot debate/talk about sensitive current issues sensibly then we might swell return back to the caves!
THERE ARE OVER 1.5 BILLION MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD PEOPLE
HOW DO THE ACTIONS OF EVEN 2,000 REPRESENT 1.5 BILLION.
This is why racist logic fails.
