Are you ******* kidding me? Since 1980, we've bombed, invaded or occupied 14 Islamic countries.
supporting Israel and her numerous wars against her neighbors
Killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis in the First Gulf War and the subsequent sanctions.
Propping up dictators like the Shah, Mubarek, the House of Saud who do horrible things to their own people.
How about when the USS Vincennes shot down that planeload of Iranian civilians in 1986?
Justification is largely a point of view.
Yes, most of those people in the WTC were innocent. But so were most of the people killed in our actions.
But if you are really intent on having a "war of civilizations", how about doing it the right way? Make sure you attack the right country and when you do, make sure you have enough troops to get the job done right.
Also- final point- how about being careful about who we do business with.
Before they turned on us, Saddam and Bin Laden were both guys the CIA worked with. Did they not know they were crazy people?

An absolutely perfect example of how the American Left deflects for Jihadism. Instead of addressing the point, they equate modern-day Jihadism with Christianity and Judaism.
Not only is this intellectually dishonest in the extreme, it also serves to defend and enable Jihadism further.
I can only imagine how thankful the Jihadists are for behavior like this. Being provided cover by the very people you loathe.

The KKK wanted to establish a Christian State.
And Liberals said that the KKK has nothing to do with Christianity.
And the Liberals were right back then, too.

That wasn't the reason we were attacked.
Short explanation:
Saddam invaded Kuwait.
Bin Laden wanted to lead a coalition of Arab states to drive Saddam out.
The other states didn't want to make Bin Laden a hero.
Instead, they called upon security agreements to get the US to do their dirty work.
Bin Laden was outraged that American infidels killed Muslims on Islamic Holy Lands and vowed revenge for what he saw as both an assault on Islam and a personal insult.
Remember, the US supported Bin Laden in Afghanistan regardless of previous history. The US was in no way at fault. This country merely honored agreements we made with other countries. This was strictly Bin Laden. Which left me so surprised when Bush and GOP let him go and stopped looking for him.

Most of us are a little more civilized then these people over a 1,000 years ago!
We still have barbarians doing the burning but not the Christians. We've grown up.
One other point YOU ARE FORGETTING...
How did the Saracens occupy Jerusalem in the first place?
Did the occupants just give up peacefully to the petitions of the Saracens?
Did the Saracens BUY Jerusalem?
Is it possible the Saracens were the bad guys first?
Jerusalem was an important city of the Byzantine province of Palestina Prima. Just 23 years prior to the Muslim conquest, in 614, it fell to an invading Sassanid army under Shahrbaraz during the last of the Byzantine-Sassanid Wars.
The Persians looted the city, and are said to have massacred its 90,000 Christian inhabitants.[2] As part of the looting, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was destroyed and the True Cross captured and taken to Ctesiphon as a battle-captured holy relic.
The Cross was later returned to Jerusalem by Emperor Heraclius after his final victory against the Persians in 628. It was believed that the Jews, who were persecuted in their Roman-controlled homeland, had aided the Persians.[3]
Over the next 400 years, the city's prominence diminished as Saracen powers in the region jockeyed for control. Jerusalem remained under Muslim rule until it was captured by Crusaders in 1099 during the First Crusade.

Oh, that's right - you never have one.
For some of them, it is probably rooted in self-loathing of their own culture and heritage and people...
For some of them, it is fifth-columnist behavior and propagandizing on behalf of a potential adversary...
For some of them, it is probably rooted in well-intentioned but misguided internationalism at all costs, which overlooks the savagery of any potential adversary...
For some of them, it is probably rooted in well-intentioned but misguided egalitarianism under any circumstances, despite a lack of reciprocity by any potential adversary...
For some of them, it it probably cowardice, and an inability to take up arms and take a firm stand for one's own...
For some of them, it is probably sincere belief in the morality of what they are doing...
As with most things in life, the answer is probably multi-faceted and complex... grey rather than black-and-white.
