Boy, that's a real head-scratcher. Hmmm, let's see. Let me answer that question by asking you a quaetion. When the jihadists are about to slaughter their victims, or about to detonate a suicide vest, what do they cry out?

(1) Allahu Akhbar (God is great), or
(2) <insert name of any politician> is great?

Which is it?

Spence, just for laughs...if they aren't motivated by religion, but rather by politics, please tell us exactly which political ideology they are fighting for?

A terrorist is identified by th ecause he is killing for. Timothy McVeigh was Irish, that doesn't mean he was in the IRA. He was a political terrorist, an anti-government terrorist.

The jihadists are religious terrorists. That's the cause they are fighting for. If I am wrong, by all means, please tell me what they are fighting for? They want a world-wide secular parliamentary system? Are they all national socialists? No, I got it, they are all libertarians, they want everyone to be able to do whatever they want with no one else telling them what to do. That's it, isn't it?
