What most people fail to understand is the
reason terrorists attack.
Their government is selling off their oil to us, and the majority of the subjects get zero of the profits while their rulers get most or all of it. That is why you get terrorists from the countries we do business with - they are pissed that they are poor (you'd be mad too, bro) and why
we are the ones they are mad at. While they are poor and living in dirt and sand, we are driving around in nice cars with big houses with the profits from
their oil. That's also why Trump's not banning those countries - because we are doing business with them. It's a catch-22. You don't want to anger the countries we do business with, but it's the countries that we do business with that are pissing off their citizens. Religion just provides the convenient vessel to carry/excuse/shape the hate.
If the kings-and-such shared the profits and generated a middle class instead of keeping all the money to themselves, they'd be happy and not even think about how we're different. The arabs that do have lots of money driving around in their Bugatti Vareons don't spend a lot of calories building bombs to kill filthy Americans.
People arguing about this need to think a level deeper and we need to be working on demanding their kings share the wealth and create a middle class. Terrorists are the
symptom, not a cause. You'll never stomp out the fire unless you turn off the fuel.
