What caused 9/11 and is now uniting the Muslim world against the West?

islam is not only against the west, but against the east, north, south and middle, anyone who is not-islamic is subject to war by islam, 9/11 is simply one of thousands of muslim terror attacks that occur on a world wide basis.\nWhen islam began is when this war began 1400 years ago, long before the usa ever exsisted. \nas for your hint, islam did 9/11 and islam is attacking all the non-islamic people. \nAnd as for all those "peacefull" muslims.. well they simply do NOTHING to stop what is going on.

Sept. 11, 2001 caused the USA to re-evaluate the concept that a few rogue elements were causing trouble that only required a bomb or two to be dropped, and some level of intelliegence.\n\nNow, we recognize that bin Laden and his group are waging a war without borders, and we will take the war to them. The USA also re-evaluted it soft stance or rogue nations that are hostile to the USA and its interests. Iraq fell into this category. And esp. with an outstanding issue of being in violation of UN resolutions, it was kind of easy to re-start a war that really never had a successful conclusion with Hussein kicking out weapons inspectors.\n\nThe war will end when terrorist activities have (all but) stopped, that we've infiltrated their groups and have successful raids, etc. and then the war will return to an FBI / CIA police action kind of thing.

Maybe because muslims killed Americans in their own country?  Or do you think 9/11 has been forgotten about?

I hate to tell you, but World War III began on September 11, 2001.\nThere is a war going on for the hearts and minds of the world's peoples. You cannot reason with terrorists, you cannot bargain with terrorists, and you cannot defeat terrorism unless you are dedicated and vigilant. Make no mistake about it, there are terrorists in the world, they have one goal in mind, the destruction of the western world. Terrorists do care how compassionate you are, or how much you hate war. In fact, they think you are stupid and weak for holding those opinions. It has been made clear time and again by them, that their goal is convert us, and if they can't convert us then they will kill us. People need to wake up and realize that we are in a World War, and in the end it is going to be us or them. Each of us has too make choices about what side we will stand on for overselves. I cannot speak for you, but I am not willing to gamble with my life and future. The only good terrorist is a dead one.\n\nInteresting reading SirFranklin, and I completely agree with your assessment of Americans and freedom at the end.

we were scared because people don't have any idea of what Islam is and who are those terrorism are. \n\npeople don't know that those terrisist attacked Muslims country first before attacking Trade world center. in Egypt they were fighting terrorism. \n\nthe problem is many Americans do not really know too much about what's going on around the world. they have no clue of who are those people are. they think they are Muslims.... but before 9/11 Muslims were suffering of them. and even many people though that those terrorists were working for Israel to destroy them. \n\nand when 9/11 happend. Muslims were scared of people reaction. because people just don't know .

To cause destabilization in the world?  To allow the muslims to spread fundamentalism intolerance around the world unchecked?  \n\nYeah, those are great reasons.

The problem with the question is that there are many diffrent terrorist factions, many with diffrent motives.\n\nI will address specifically Bin Landen's Al Queda, and theocratic facist. This story does involve Iraq.\n\nOnce upon a time........\n\n*The US was fighting in the cold war with Russia.\n*We financed and armed Afgan rebels to repell the Russians.\n**Bin Laden in the conflict in Afganistan becomes a CIA assest.\n**Bin Landen surives a granade attack, and believes that his God had saved him. He becomes hardcore fundamentilist. \n**Through Islam he see the west as infidels who want to conquer the Muslim world for oil, ect ect ect...\n**FAST foward to BUSH 1,  G. Herbert Bush...and Regan, we support Sadam against the regime in Iran.\n**We give Sadam WMD's, gasses you name it to use against Iran.\n**Meanwhile we are also arming Iran in order to support the Contras war in El Salvador..hence "Iran Contra"\n** Iraq and Sadam are screwed over by russia financially, so they want to take over Kwait which they claim is theirs and which they claim is slant drilling.\n********************** Sadam sends an embassador to the US to OK his actions of invading Iraq...because the US was thier Ally.\n**Sadam invades, the united states convinces Sudia Arabia with doctored photos Iraq troop build up on the Sudi border.\n** The US builds the Bin Sultan Air Base in Sudia Aribia.\n**US leaves Iraq in oder to not create a Islamic State like Iran.\n\n***Bin Laden see the Bin Sultan Air Base as part of the west's attack on mulism culture and will not have the US on Muslim holy land.\n***project for a new american century writes papers and stratiegies to invade the Middle East in order to secure oil.\n**WTC is hit the first time early in Clintons presidency....\nwe capture the people involved and convict.\n***While Bush is govener, Tali Ban Represntetives come to Texas, most likely to discuss the planned pipeline through their country.\n\n*******Before leaving office the Clinton white house reports that the greatest threat facing the new century is Terrorism.\n**Bush 2 takes office, Representative  go to Afganistan again offer "carpet of gold or carpet of bombs." in order to build pipeline for gas and oil intrest.\n**Bush vacations on his ranch and never meets with Counter Terriosm expert...ever. \n**PDB, Bin Laden determined to attack...\n** Our country is attacked. It is worst attack since pearl habor.\n** The US prepares for the Afganistan and Iraq.\n**Conflicts between CIA and DOD leave the CIA with no troop support.\n**Bin Laden escapes Tora Bora\n** DOD takes over intellegence...for Iraq invasion\n** Pressures CIA to find any, connection.\n** DOD produces information which the CIA disputes.\n**DOD relys on  Greman source Curveball, as sole source for Powell speach to UN.\n**War in Iraq\n** Al Queda tries to start a civil war to, zarquari wanting to literally kill all the shieite\n**The Sunni and shieite start a civil war for power.\n**Bathist, Sadam Loyalist begin guriella warfare\n**Torture fotos are released from Guantanimo bay...add fuel to Fundemantalist Muslim hate.\n** We create a traing ground, create an enviroment of civil war, and create a sense of Western colonization in the Muslim World.\nwe closed the Bin Sultan airbase in the end.\n*\n*

The bush administration is responsible for the whole 9-11 attack. Watch 9-11: Loose Change (2nd Edition).

terrorism isnt a thought, its an act. and a networked group of people who infiltrate governments and societies for the purpose of destroying other countries who they claim are against Allah.

Your process is not fully complete...Is it A. West vs Middle East, B. Christian vs Islam or is it C. same old game...greed Industrialized counrties vs those that have a vast quantity of a limited resource?\nI say C and it HAS already started.

Yes, we can stop terrorism.\nDispose of the secret services. The CIA/MI6/Mossad/ISI were between them responsible for 9/11, 7/7, Madrid train bombing, Bali bombing, Mumbai train bombing, Lockerbie air disaster, and many others - all blamed on Arabs or Muslims in order to keep people terrorised and prepared to give away their freedom in exchange for ill-perceived security.

One of main world-wide religions; developed later than Christianity and have much common things with it. \n\nIt has been blamed for many things recently without any ground. These attacks are masked with fight for human rights, but serve only for racism and slavery type globalisation.\n\nLack of knowledge about Islam in different countries creates a favourite environment for such actions.

yes, I totally agree 100%.. I am muslim and it seems the west just doesnt even care one twit about teaching the facts about it.. We are all blood thirsty terrorists to them.. They never realize that its not the religion to blame, its twisted fanatics who interpret the faith wrong to blame, which there are fanatics everywhere in all faiths.. 99.999% of muslims fear terrorism like the rest of the world.

The whole Islamic world is not even, or will ever be, allied with itself.  I realize that American public education and our universities fail miserably at teaching the truth about other cultures, so here is a run down.\n\nThere are two main sects in Islam (not Muslim as being "Muslim" is a state of Islam, akin to "Nirvana").  These are the Sunnis and the Shia.  The Sunnis think the Shia are aposates and traitors to Islam.  Within the Sunni sect, there are several other subsects of which Whabbasism is just one.  Trying to get all these sects to agree on what day it even is is difficult enough.  Having them unite as one is almost impossible.  \n\nThis is further complicated by the fact African, Far Eastern, and Indonesian Islamists don't like the Arabs, or each other.  Al Qeada's pay and command structure further infuriated non-Arab Islamic people.  Old Bin Lying doesn't pay non-Arabs as much as Arabs or let them be as high ranking in his clubhouse.  Plus, the genocide in Sudan and othert parts is being caused by Islamic Arabs killing Islamic Africans, along with Christian Africans.  BTW, Islam refers to Jesus Christ as a prophit and pays homage to him (Guess Bin Lying forgot to read that part of the Quran!).\n\nMixed into this further the tribal and clan nature of the Middle East and Africa.  The US, USSR, UK, and others have always been able to fracture the alliances by either buying off a clan or allowing the clans to fight themselves, which is usually what happens without Western involvement.\n\nAnd to top it off, a large and growing number of Islamic peoples do not hate America or what it is doing.  Efforts in Afghanistan, Kuwait, Indonesia, Pakistan, and other areas where the US Military and NGOs go in are paying monumental dividends.\n\nIraqis are siding with the USA, as are Jordanians, as are the oppressed people of Iran (they just can't do much about it right now.. such is what always happens when you disarm the people).  Then there are the Pastdun people of Pakistan, who, after Al Qeada abandoned them following the massive earthquake that killed 80,000+, saw the ones who rushed in was...come on, guess....That's right, the USA!  And who sent massive aid to Indonesia, dispite the lies from leftists in the UN?  The USA wins there too by sending very high level, and possibly vulnerable assets to the disaster area.  Just like we did for Katrina later, the US military sent assault ships, one of our two hospital ships, and an aircraft carrier without its fighters but loaded with supplies and helos (the USS Kittyhawk) to the area.  These efforts speak volumes to the people of the area and cause a rift between them and our enemies.\n\nSo, yes, we stand a great chance since the Islamic world is difficult to unite and easy to fracture.

No. This is a lie. Many people from many nations died in 9-11, including Israelis. This lie is told by people who want to blame 9-11 on the jews. This is wrong. Muslim extremists flew planes into the WTC. Don't get swayed by idiots.

We have been in it since 1979. And just didn't admit it until 9/11.  With the Islamic Fundamentalist bombing in places like Sri Lanka, Israel, Spain, Great Briton, Egypt (the Coptic Christians are being hounded pretty good right now), Phillipenes.  It wasn't until Afganistan that we have taken the threat seriously.
