In dealing with terrorism you are confronting a resentment that is not concerned to improve the lot of anyone, but only to destroy the thing it hates.

Amen, bro. And the Islamist will continue to hate until the enemy capitulates and becomes his compatriot. They don't acknowledge co-existence, only surrender. Ask Steve Centanni.

[El Cid]

Look to Genesis 3.
Man fell for the lie that 'ye can be like God'.
With the Fall sprung forth the weeds of covetousness, pride, and all the accompanying afflictions.
Without an understanding of who we are, and where we came from, and the only cure: Christ;
covetousness will continue to reign in the hearts of man.
Without Christ it should be no surprise that America is hated from abroad. No aid or pandering will change that. Only when we're living in rubble and dung huts, will the world's hatred shift elsewhere.
I'm with Ann Coulter - we need to send out missionaries if we truly desire to affect change.

The displaced anger of Muslim yoots is exactly the same anger as teenagers who resent the authority of their parents.

It is driven by the same causes.

In Islamic society, there is no outlet for teenage hotbloodedness, other than hostility and violence. The more they act out, the more they feel justified to increase their hateful activities. And their society encourages them to continue displacing their anger.

Muslim "Holy Men" must chortle with insane glee as they send the young men off to their doom, while these "Holy Men" reap the benefit of power, prestige, and access to women denied the young men.

I'd be angry too. That's what is so pernicious about this Satanic cult.

Wealthier oil states could erase the poverty besetting their Palestinian 'brothers' tomorrow if they so decided.

They simply don't want to. They would rather build madrasses and exploit the desperation of its impoverished people, convincing them that strapping themselves with bombs will improve their lot.

There is no mercy in Islam. Not even for its fellow adherents.

Absolutely right.
