When did I say otherwise?

Terrorism isn't stopping because terrorism has Been waged since time immortal. And always will be.

The reason it is more prevalent, once again, is because of the internet, social media, and the spread of information worldwide.

Dude, you know that I'm talking about the Islamic terrorism that we have been talking about. And sure, the internet has made it a big web, but without the occupation by Israel, we wouldn't be seeing this right now.

Thank you, that's all I was trying to say from the very beginning. You can take anything and hook it to a religious belief in order to justify it, fanatics have indeed been doing this since time Immemorial; but that doesn't mean the religion itself promotes those activities

And dude, you know that if it weren't Israel, it would be something else. The far east is a hot bed, for example. Even if Israel wasn't created after wwii, the hotbed that was the middle east would have drawn in some western power vying for control over the oil reserves.

Israel is just the catalyst they use. But if Israel was never created, we would still have the problems we have today.

Well anyone who tries to say that terrorism, at its root, is based on religion and not political aspects are willfully ignorant. Terrorism at its very core is perpetuated to usher in political change in one way or another.

The modern bastardization that is religious terrorism begs to differ. And this form is largely promoted and spread through the internet and social media.

Now, the upper echelon of leadership of these groups use the terrorism for political reasons, but they are carried out by lackies who see It as a religious cause. Not a political cause.

So really, in the modern day, terrorism is a bastardization of political and religious reasoning.

We're really just arguing semantics at this point though.
