religions fault.
religions fault.
Ignorance (on both sides) and incentives are more than enough to start a war. Though luckily we may be about to win this one. well in Afghanistan in any case.

If we hadn't let those Saudi's keep their oil in the first place, then the rather extreme puritanical version of Islam that they practice there (akin to the with burning, Christmas banning Puritanism of Cromwell's England, and just look at all the wars that come from that...), then they wouldn't have been able to fund the spread of this version of Islam throughout the Islamic world and they wouldn't have been able to fund the terrorism in the first instance.
So, it's our fault for getting a bit ethical after WWII. if oil had been discovered and had great importance in the 1850s, then the gulf states would likely have been fought over, and most certainly would not have been allowed to go from being a bunch of barbaric nomads to filthy rich and all that entails.
Of course its also the Saudi's fault for being a bunch of hypocritical ******* in the first instance. Giving a barbarian a huge stack of cash does not civilise them, quite the reverse it seems...

This is the half of the attitude which has got the world in such a state today.

And if we don't retaliate, the terrorists are just going to see us as an easily-threatened nation, and continue terrorising us...if we do retaliate, they see that as provocation...
And don't use sarcasm, it makes you look thick, and I can tell you're not.

But you can't pretend that if Islam, or any religion for that matter, didn't exist, the world would be a much safer/threat-free place.

You can call religion redundant in the modern day but to say that religion has been harmful in the progression of man and the formation of society is quite well-estimably incorrect. If you look at the developments of democratic principles (unfortunately now lost) in the Islamic world during its Golden Age for example, a great deal of historians believe there to have been a lot of cultural flow towards the West which formed the basis of modern European liberal culture today.

The same terrorists don't strike more than once, so retaliating won't cause them to increase attacks but will see more people be called to the 'terrorist' ideology. I don't advocate sitting back and doing nothing either but that summary really oversimplifies the problem and potentially quite dangerously, sees pan-Arab / Islamist terrorism as a homogeneous body headed by one line of command, which it really is not.
And don't use sarcasm, it makes you look thick, and I can tell you're not.

I hate having to read this line. Without religion, we would all still be living in anarchy in caves - there would be far more threat in a lawless society.

Also....the Pre Christian Greco-Romans played very little emphasis on morality based religon, and yet they had fantastically well-ordered societies that were, considering the time, the complete opposite of anarchy. Inded Gibbons argues that the introduction of Christianity into the Roman Empire was one of the contributing factors to it's downfall. I would say the morals, ethics, legal codes and general frameworks and structures we recieved from the Greco-Roman period are much more important than any of Europe's Christian heritage.
