A University of Chicago professor and a Muslim organization linked to the terror organization Hamas are teaming up to proclaim that American occupation of foreign lands is the reason for terrorism.
Word of the cooperation between the Council on America- Islamic Relations and University of Chicago political science professor Robert Pape over his new book, called "Cutting the Fuse: The Explosion of Global Suicide Terrorism and How to Stop It," comes from CAIR.
The organization announced in a news release that the book is a "powerful education tool" to challenge "Islamophobia" and that Pape will speak at CAIR's 16th annual banquet Saturday night.
CAIR cites the Chicago Project on Security and Terrorism's evaluation: "Through a close analysis of suicide campaigns by al-Qaida and in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Israel, Chechnya, and Sri Lanka, the authors provide powerful new evidence that, contrary to popular and dangerously mistaken belief, religion alone motivates only a tiny minority of these attacks. Instead, the root cause is foreign military occupation, which triggers secular and religious people to carry out suicide attacks."
A deeper level of cooperation between the Muslim group and the author, however, was revealed by the Investigative Project on Terrorism.
The website reported yesterday that Pape was "working secretly" with CAIR to "have its chapters around the country to buy [books] in bulk so they can manipulate the sales to move up the best-seller ranks."
The website said Pape concludes that terrorism is a "response" to "occupation," rather than having anything to do with Islam, which tells its followers to kill "infidels."

When listening to a Muslim speak always turn on your taqiyya filter. This advice should also be heeded by our government.
No surprise there. They know that this country suffers from severe White guilt, and that it will be easy to give the country a severe case of Christian guilt.
Like I said, a isolated incident that was not a world wide daily pervasive issue like it has been since the cuse celeb Palis started their crap followed by the mullahs of Iran.
That’s funny...the Quran doesn’t say ANYTHING about “occupiers.” It just requires Muslims to KILL anybody who disagrees with Islam. How open minded can you GET, after all!
1400 years and counting...
Tell them to stfu and if anymore terrorist cra^%$ happens we will take some more beeeeeatch$#@@...and let Israel have it...Islam is a religion for the dead by the dead..
Boy, that just galls me!!! That's total BS! WE can't be in THEIR lands, but THEY can spread all over the world. WHY are they in Indonesia and Philippines and Africa and Australia and Europe? We're NOT "occupying" these lands. Yet, they are there. IF they hate being around us so much, why are they in EVERY other country plus their own.
I think the reason is, despite the fact that their alleged political curricula are diametrically opposed, that they both want to be absolute rulers of their domains. They recognize kindred spirits and, whether they realize it or not, unconsciously underscore each other’s efforts.
Not that they will ever make comfortable co-rulers, of course. For those of us who survive, the resulting chaos will be very instructive. Best to be well out of their ways.
Fine - then THEY need to leave from wherever THEY are occupying and GO HOME AND STAY THERE!.
Does Muslim occupation of Anatolia excuse Greek terrorism?
WHY would we kill each other?
I had thought it was around 500 ad when Islam was hatched. I got the 500 so firmly implanted I couldn’t get out the 1,500 years, or more accurately 1,400 if you’re more correct than I.
I agree with your time-line. I appreciate the correction.
That’s fair enough. I agree.
Hmm...I see. Well, maybe muslims can explain the motivation behind the conquest of then Christian Syria in 634? And how about the conquest of then Christian Jerusalem in 638 A.D? Perhaps then muslims could explain the conquest of Hispania in 711 or the siege of Constantinople in 717. Fact is, I could go on all day with a list of UNPROVOKED Muslim aggression against the west, BEFORE the RETALIATORY crusades against the east. Islam is a cult founded by a mad man who saw Monotheism as a way to control Arabia and, in his sick mind, eventually the world. Islam has been at war with everyone NOT muslim continuously for 1392 years. U.S. ‘occupation’ to blame for terrorism..my a**!
WHY would we kill each other?
1) They want to kill us because they are, for lack of a better term, possessed by trans-corporate intelligences (demons) who are committed to the torture and extermination of mankind.
2) We want to kill them (or should) because if we don't, the entire race of man will be a screaming horror right up until the point we become extinct at the hands of "Allah".
Understand why now?
