How come there are more terrorist in the world now than 5 years ago?

Question

Could it be......The United States is the cause of the increase in terrorism?

Answer 1

Terrorism has increased ever since America helped Israel steal Arab lands in Palestine in 1948.

Before 1948, the terrorists were exclusively Jewish, with names like Menachem Begin.

Answer 2

Where do you get your information? I find it slightly amusing how a nation ATTACKED by terrorism is blamed for INCREASING terrorism.

When the US and AL QAEDA sign a joint financing agreement, I might listen to the ignoramus fecal matter eminating from your piehole, for that is the apt description of what you are suggesting. But I will table that rant, and offer you this link below, which documents the plethora of terrorism that existed around the world prior to 9/11/01, and how most of it was not due to any US agitation, but simply attributed to the crazed and unreasoned mental faculties of those who commit the heinous act of terrorism.

Enough with the childish attacks on the US, who has fought valiantly for the freedom of the French, English, Italians, Chinese, Filipinos, Afghanis and Iraqis and many, many more people, more people than today come to America's aid when it is needed most.

Terrorism is not a human ailment born in the US, but an inhuman act of cowardice and violent self-deprecation. Radical interpretation and radical adherance to the Islamic faith is the root cause of most terrorism in the world, and to suggest otherwise is intellectually dishonest and deplorable.

Answer 3

They have someone to fight now. You could say that the US has created new terrorist, nut now there is someone to take them out. Rather than before, there might of been less terrorist, but there wasn't anyone fighting it.

There might of been less terrorist 5 years ago, but there were 3,000 people dead on a single day from terrorist attacks in the US. How many have there been since then?

Answer 4

It may be plain old scalarion, since there are more americans in arab soil to terrorize, and more fallen friends (many of them innocent, mind you!) to avenge. Add to that that all the promises of democracy and peace were not fullfilled, as a reason of some arabs turning against the US.
Yes, I thing the whole deal is worse than five years ago, and blame falls (not evenly) on both parts. The issue wasn´t well managed.
To be fairly (scarily) true, that region has been "gray" since biblical times, if not FUBAR

Answer 5

No, you idiot, the United States is not the cause of terrorism. What did the US have to do with the massacre of Israeli athletes in Munich in 1968? It's because the stinkin' mullahs are getting more and more ink for their reprehensible acts. they keep drawing in those idiots who think they're goning to get 40 virgins when they off somebody and themselves too. The thing is that the 40 virgins can only say one word; BAA

Answer 6

Could it be that the public glorification of the terrorist acts has helped to recruit for terrorism?? Acts much like erudite does on a daily basis

Answer 7

There arent more terrorists than there were 5 years ago. There is more publicity on terrorist acts, and people actually pay attention now. So, it only seems that there are more terrorists.

Answer 8

How many terrorists were there 5 years ago?
How many did you find today?

Give me the concrete number before you jump into conclusion.

Answer 9

are you crazy, there's always been this many terrorists, try looking here at this list of terrorist activity against the USA, it goes all the way back to the 60's
