Like I said, I will ping you to the debate thread when it’s up. I’m sure you will do your best to deflect attention away from the communist roots of Islamist terrorism.
I already said that while we backed Israel the Soviets backed the Arabs. Just because the Soviets backed the Arabs doesn't mean that they gave up Islam.
Islamic terrorists speak the language of Islam to recruit terrorists. They issue religious edicts that say why Islam tells them to kill westerners. They promise those who “martyr” themselves paradise with 72 virgins. They say they are involved in a “jihad” or holy war.
I do not deny that many of these groups received aid and comfort from the Soviets, or that some few actually were dedicated Socialists and/or Marxists.
What you are attempting to deny (but now admitted) was that terrorists who claim Islam are in fact, as you called them now, “Islamic Terrorists”.
There is nothing “secular” about their aims, their motivation, or their rhetoric.
