It is true that most of the terrorists,thives,dacoits are  muslims.It is the fault of their religious leaders because they used to spread  violence in the name of their religion.

They are terrorists:\n\n The group is listed as a terrorist organization by Australia, Canada, the European Union, Israel, and the United States.\nHamas is a Palestinian Islamist organization created in 1987.\n It is best known throughout the world for carrying out suicide bombings and other attacks primarily against Israeli civilians, as well as military targets, to further its goal of creating a Palestinian state in the area that is now Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. \nHamas has created an extensive network of social welfare programs throughout the West Bank and Gaza, explaining part of its popularity.

The attack on Iraq has nothing to do with terrorism, other than being the best recruitment advert Al Qaeda could have had.  Theoretically the attack was because of WMDs (the Iraqi's really know how to hide things don't they ??), and then it became regime change (or were these just a smokescreen for oil ??) - Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism.  Now that the west have inflamed problems between Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims, the chances of terrorist activity is far more likely.\nIf we want to reduce terrorism, I believe we need to stop wading in and waging war with the middle east in alphabetical order, and build constructive links instead.\nFirst step, we need to work with the UN in areas with problems - rather than just listening to Israel.

The USA DOES NOT support TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS.. Hamas has ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY for HUNDREDS of TERRORIST ATTACKS during the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. \n\nIf the USA would continue their financial support of the Palestinian Government (lead by Hamas). They would be no better than Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Cuba, North Korea, and Sudan when it comes to financially backing terroristic efforts.

Tough question considering that they war on terror is not technically supposed to be a war against any certain nation yet we focus on the middle east and its extremist religions. The Iraqi forces are having trouble organizing because of the sectarian nature of the population. This seems to me like it would provide a great and easy avenue for the organized entrance into our nation of small coordinated covert extremist terrorist groups. I hate to say it.

None.\n\nHence why there is no such thing as the so-called "Muslim World." Muslims are every where.\n\nNote: for the record, there ARE Muslims in Australia. About 300,000 of them:\nhttp://www.dfat.gov.au/facts/islam_in_australia.html\n\nAlso from Wikipedia:\n"Only 18% of Muslims live in the Arab world; 20% are found in Sub-Saharan Africa, about 30% in the South Asian region of Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, and the world's largest single Muslim community (within the bounds of one nation) is in Indonesia. There are also significant Muslim populations in China, Europe, Central Asia, and Russia.\n\nFrance has the highest Muslim population of any nation in Western Europe, with up to 6 million Muslims (10% of the population [7]). Albania is said to have the highest proportion of Muslims as part of its population in Europe (70%), although this figure is only an estimate (see Islam in Albania). The number of Muslims in North America is variously estimated as anywhere from 1.8 to 7 million."

I don't think there is a simple answer to that one. With the exception of maybe Iran, the regimes you mention are against terrorism. Not that there aren't elements within their governments that support them. Overall terrorists are a major threat to these countries regimes. Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia deal rather harshly with terrorists. The threat would be nukes getting into the wrong hands.

Terrorism  started in middle east with palestines and jews.   They'd attack civilians for intimidation.  To nip it in the bud, there should've been mass education about its negative effects and moral consequences.  Also, take out the leaders of the terrorists.  \n\nToday, America and other western countries must stop attacking other religions and exploiting 3rd world countries.  They should also stop killing others.  Killing creates a need for revenge.  That is why they are attacking.\n\nIts a vicous cycle of escalating violence.  You kill my family, I will kill you.  You kill that individual and then someone else wants revenge.  And on the loop goes

There are not any and your statement about stationing troops in Saudi Arabia is untrue also. Terrorists kill people because they are savages and they do not need a reason, they give a reason but the truth is they are savages.

Well, Arabs are more than 400,000 millions (more than US population). Muslims are more than 1.5 Billion (one of every four on earth). If one of them is Bad like Bin Ladin, it is unfare to say all others are bad I guess.   \nIt is like saying all Europeans are bad becasue of Hitler!

Many. E.g. USA (who fund terrorists in Nicaragua) and UK where the World Terrorist HQ is located - including, among others, the PLO(Palastine - suicide bombers), Kurdish (Kills other Iraq people and rape women), LTTE (kill sucklings in mothers arms and suicide bombing) etc.

Iraq is pretty big.  I'm pretty sure they have more than just 5 cities.
