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.
I didn’t say Islamic, I said Islamist. You might want to research the difference before the debate thread is up. And yes, I still claim that many of the Islamist terror groups were started and are controlled by revolutionary materialists. That’s not to say that all of them are, but many of them are, and almost all of them are influenced by this revolutionary ideology. But let’s save it for the debate thread, shall we?
