[QUOTE=spence]Well, on 9/11 they sent some pretty well educated "rubes" to do their dirty work.


On that I'd somewhat agree.

Certainly the Islamic leadership has done a pathetic job in many countries, and combined with other exacerbating issues you have an explosive cocktail.

But remember that we're not seeing to many Islamic terrorists from Jordan, India, Turkey etc... who all have large Islamic populations...

Why is this?


Why? Because their leaders are or have been European educated and try to rule in the European model. They do not seek absolute domination of their people. And they allow HOPE to exist. My best guess.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
