of course - it's all THEIR fault.

".....THE REASON OF TERRORISM IS THE AMERCANISATION OF MUSLIM COUNTRY,THROUGH DIFFERENT TYPE OF PRESURES.AND DUE TO THAT PRESURE,SOME ORTHODOX MUSLIM THEY RISE VOICE AGAINST AMERICA."

' it's all America's fault' ... let's see...... hmmmm.....I think I've heard this before actually.

Yes - I have - and now that you mention it - how could I have been so mistaken all this time. I used to think individual people were responsible for their reactions to events and their circumstances. I actually thought peope were responsible to themselves (let alone others around them) for how they thought and acted.

I'm glad you've cleared this up so succinctly - it's all America's fault. I can now do what I want and blame America for any negative repercussions. Of course I will praise myself for any good things that may happen to eventuate. But for the rest - it's those evil, craven Anglo-saxon infidels living a most haram life. How dare they be at the forefront of every field of science and technology and the humanities and be responsible for huge numbers of innovations in every field of human endeavour - yet deny reponsibility for the actions of retrograde muslims worldwide?

"..........SO DON'T BLAME MUSLIM AND ISLAM. BLAME ON YOURSELF ON OUR SYSTEMS"

No , Islam is never to blame - why did you even suggest that anyone might possibly think that?

"....ALL THE RELIGION AND ITS FOLLOWERS ARE BROTHERS AND SISTERS."

Unfortunately you can't tell that to these brothers and sisters any more:
