Creation of Terrorism in Us

Purpose: Too often many of the world's terrorism seem to be Muslim. Islam is becoming synonymous with terrorism. Terrorism is having a negative effect on the way the world views Islam and Muslims.

Thesis: The disparity in economics, power, and education and religion has created a terrorist monster. The world's super powers are partially responsible for creating today's terrorist.

Most Muslims in the world are not bent on destruction or killing them selves in the Name of ALLAH. All Muslims do believe in the after life, and death is a necessary and predetermined thing. According the Quaran (Muslim Holy book) those that commit suicide will be punished in the after life with fire and pain. At Some point some one has justified suicide as a means to an end. Some one has convinced thousands of people that it's ok to kill your self as long as it's for the cause.

Muslims have been fighting the world and each other for as far back as when Jesus walked and before. War is no stranger to the world nor is death. Today if one watches the news you would think Islam has a monopoly on terrorism and death.

Americans and some Europeans have a hard time wrapping their arms of understanding around the term CLAN (A division of a tribe tracing descent from a common ancestor a large group of relatives, friends, or associates) because many of us don't share the same ancestry. Our society is more suited for individuality, so we really don't understand the strong bond of a clan or large extended family. I'm speaking of clans because in most other societies your clan, tribe or family have great influence over what your station in life will be, also they have a lot of influence over what you believe and think of the world. A lot of your current terrorists are influenced to kill based on the local philosophy of their local clan leader.

Leaders lead, guide and influence. An excellent example of clan leadership would be Afghanistan. The Sep 11th terrorists were lead by a host of people more capable than them selves. The leaders were the planners and financers. World leadership is failing its constituents by not providing a better way of life for their people.

Often people feel left out because of their lower economic statues. Poverty and the feeling of being powerless creates a breeding ground for any one to become a terrorist. When people feel oppressed, no matter how much money or education they may have, they tend to strike at that that is oppressing them. Prime example of this is young America before it was free from British rule. The early colonist felt oppressed by Britain (Taxation without representation) so they resorted to terrorism (Boston Tea Party) as a means of getting equal treatment or justice from Britain. Britain responded like any super power would, they sent in the military. Is the world sharing its wealth? No one wants to look at this; we must if we all want to feel safe while on vacation in the Maldives, or any other vacation spot. If we don't help the helpless then we're all at risk.

The July 7 suicide bombings in London provided a deadly reminder to European governments of the chilling reality they confront: the adherents of the most radical forms of Islam are found not just on the Pakistan-Afghan border or the violent streets of Iraq. Instead, in Europe, the enemy is within, made up of young men born and raised in working-class neighborhoods throughout Britain, the banlieues of Paris, and
