Just like christians and hindus etc
there are non practicing, moderate, fundamental and extremeists islamic elements - the terrorists are small in
number but with the weight of motivation and media coverage and some big al quadea money behind them they are a
threat. Most iraqis actually welcomed the US invasion - its the subsequent going ons and a fair bit of arab world
media hype + a lower standard of living that drives the issues - its the poor countries that have the worst records
(well the poorer citizens that normally drift towards crime - black communities in USA for instance - that instead
of crime they are recruited by extremist muslim elements and easily manipulated and then go do jihad)
This is
a very touchy subject and many more factors are involved - a moderate easing of the teachings of islam would help -
indonesia has 120M moderate non threatening muslims there who are mostly democratic and tolerant (except for a few
pockets and bali)
