My favorite part of the article:

To this day, I still have people asking me why Muslims didn’t condemn 9/11. I have gotten so tired of this canard that whenever I have a speaking engagement, I carry with me a folder of public condemnations issued by American Muslims groups — and Muslims worldwide — on 9/11.

Al-Qaida hasn’t been the only group to hijack the image of Islam. Hatemongers in this country have also hijacked Islam. These Islamophobes have spent the past decade working to distort the image of Islam to further their own political or social agendas.

This is very true, but it doesn’t answer why we see Islam in the context of terrorism, more than any other main religion in this age.

Could it be that Islam is more amenable, for the primitives, to primitive religious bigotries itself?

Not that I’ve seen argued successfully, in a way that satisfies me as a persnickety amateur historian.

Of course, the whole “Israel” part is highly overplayed by everyone *but* bin Laden; he only barely mentioned it in his manifesto/confession, & even then because he was getting money from the PA. Which they got from the EU - & us.

Well, I stated one fact and one supposition. Do you have any other explanations?
