Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[seabass]

>>>The reason this converesation is going nowhere is because we've gotten way off topic.<<<


I disagree. It's about motivation and I don't buy your idea that america just happened to get in the middle of a worldwide cleansing of infidels. If that's what it is, why don't they get on with it? France, Denmark and Sweden for example have huge muslim and christian populations but no problems with terrorism. Instead......all public statements by Al Qaeda clearly focus on the US but you see no pattern other than worldwide jihad against non-muslims?


>>>Which policies in particular do you think led to us getting attacked?<<<


Let's just say that the love story with Israel probably hasn't helped. Bin Laden said as much himself. He also said Al Qaeda doesn't mess with countries who don't mess with muslim interests and that seems to be true.


>>>Why do you dismiss all quotes that don't fit your hypothesis?<<<


You're wrong about that. I keep using one of your quotes repeatedly. The one where he expresses hate for christians.
