I think that y'all may find this article of interest. I've pasted the first bit here, with a link to the full article. It's a long one, but fairly enlightening. It's written from the American historical perspective, but I think you'll get the idea.

The Fallacy of Grievance-based Terrorism
by Melvin E. Lee
Middle East Quarterly
Winter 2008

This item is available on the Middle East Forum website, at http://www.meforum.org/article/1830

The fundamental premise of much scholarly examination and public discourse is that grievances with U.S. policies in the Middle East motivate Islamist terrorism. Such assumptions, though, misunderstand the enemy and its nature. In reality, the conflict is sparked not by grievance but rather by incompatibility between Islamist ideology and the natural rights articulated during the European Enlightenment and incorporated into U.S. political culture. Acquiescing to political grievances will not alter the fundamental incompatibility between Lockean precepts of tolerance and current interpretations of Islam: Only Islam's fundamental reform will resolve the conflict.

Many scholars mark the post-World War I partition of the Ottoman Empire as the origin of Islamist opposition to the West.[1] The idea that the Middle East would be a tolerant, prosperous contributor to the global environment today if World War I victors had left intact the Ottoman Empire is a premise in the literature accompanying the rise of twentieth-century jihadism. Historian David Fromkin argued in his influential A Peace to End All Peace that present day Muslim unrest is the direct result of Winston Churchill's early twentieth-century decisions.[2] British journalist Robert Fisk also holds British officials responsible although he prefers to blame Arthur Balfour, foreign secretary between 1916 and 1919.[3] Both authors are wrong, though, to base their theories of grievance on such arbitrary demarcation of eras. The roots of jihadism and its opposition to the United States as part of the non-Muslim West were cast long before World War I erupted. The interaction between the United States and Muslim states and societies dates back to American independence.[4] Contemporary jihadism is not the result of accumulated grievance; rather it has for cultural reasons been an integral factor in Islamic societies' interaction with the United States.

Good post RW. It isnt Americas support for Israel which is the true cause of terror,but rather the Jihadist belief that the Jihadist muslims are superior to all others, and that all "infidels" should be destroyed.

Very close to Hitlers mindset.

Which is why the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Muhammed Amin al-Husseini, and Hitler got along so darned well... Oh, and Yasser Arafat was al-Husseini's nephew...which explains a few things, too. Take a look at this: http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_mandate_grand_mufti.php

yep i know that Amin guy.He organized the massacre of Jews in Jerusalem.

and BTW that was long before the creation of the modern state of Israel. And yet I keep hearing that it is since the cration of the State of Israel why the muslims hate Jews. Not so. The muslims have always hated Jews.

PLO chairman Yasser Arafat on several occasions had praised Amin El Hussieni.

Yup, since looooooooooooong before there was Islam, the Jews/Hebrews were resented/hated by the other indigenous groups....the Phillistines (aka Palestinians) and the Canaanites. Islam is just a formalization of the hatred, and the justification for the actions.

[Silver Bullet]

many were those who hated Jews alright. Christian churces are guilty aswell. Both Cathlolic and Protestants.

yep we see in the bible that the Philistines (Delilah) and the canaanites also hated Jews and were the enemies of the God of Israel, Adonai Elohim T'savaot.

The modern Palestinians are Arabs from Egypt and Arabian lands that came to Israel during the ottoman empires colonisation of Israel. Called Palestine back then a name given by the Romans.

The Palestinans claim to be Canaanites. But in actual fact Canaanites and Philistines were dipersed in other parts of the world long before. Some say the Philistines can be traced to some people now living in Spain.
