Please see post 41 for my thoughts on this. I believe we're pretty much on the same page, except for degrees.
Thank you.
It is a bit of a chicken or the egg thing.
However that Islamic terror groups were founded by communists is indisputable. That they have been supported, armed, trained and funded by communists is indisputable.
While most terrorists in the ME are Islamic, most in South America are "good" Catholics.
This does raise the question of where the true root of international terror lies.
Even if we could wave a wand and the entire ME suddenly became Buddhist the problem of Communist supported terror in the area would not go away.
