The Root Cause of Terrorism


[WorldNetDaily] Joseph Farah - Lately, we've heard the root cause of terrorism is alienation, poverty, or the West's support for Israel. What do I think is the root cause of terrorism? It works. Those using terrorism do it because it achieves their objectives. The more Israel has acceded to the demands of terrorists, the more terrorism has increased. The more Israel has unilaterally retreated from lands won in hard-fought combat, the more emboldened its attackers have become. The more accommodating Israel is with the terrorists, the higher become the demands on the Jewish state by international busybodies who blame their own problems with terrorists on Israel. There are only two ways to stop the terrorism: Surrender and live under the domination of Islam, or soundly defeat the Islamic jihad. You can't talk to it. You can't buy it off. You can't understand it. You can't win it over with compassion. You can't reason with it. You can't negotiate with it. You can't bargain with it. You can't appease it away. You can't wish it away.
