I can’t seem to post from Twitter. Yes I still call it Twitter, I think ‘X’ is a ridiculous name.
This is a post from CensoredMen.Given some of the posts from commenters who still think Islam is the source of all wars, crimes & political ills, I thought it would be a beneficial read.

They hate us for our freedoms.
Not because we destabilize their countries and kill millions of innocents in the process. No. It’s our freedoms that they hate.
Right... You see, it’s very easy for people to blame Islam for all terrorist attacks committed by Muslims, rather than Western foreign policy. Because dissecting Western foreign policy and seeing how it directly correlates to Islamic terrorism is far more complicated than just blaming terrorist acts committed by Muslims on Islam. In fact, what we understand today as ‘Islamic terrorism’ wasn’t really prevalent before 1948. The reason why it wasn’t prevalent was because, for the most part, the Islamic world was stable. Muslims lived in Muslim lands, traded with the West, and were content living in their own regions.
When Israel was created, a Jewish state built on stolen land surrounded by Muslim countries, it caused absolute carnage across the Middle East, and then the world. Western forces constantly fought to defend Israel from its Arab neighbors, causing those neighbors to develop enmity towards the West. The West inherited all of Israel’s enemies. Since the creation of Israel, Israel has lobbied Western nations, primarily the US, to cause complete and utter carnage all over the Middle East in order to protect its own borders. They did this through political lobbies and powerful Zionist Jews who have an immense amount of influence on US politics. This results in the destabilization of Middle Eastern nations, and out of this anger at the West and Israel, more extreme Islamic sects have formed, hell-bent on revenge by any means necessary. It’s natural that if you create complete and utter chaos, groups feeding on that chaos will emerge.
Then, since Israel is a religious ethno-state, they don’t take in any of the refugees from these lands—it’s the US and Europe that take in the refugees. Many of these refugees are relieved that they have a safe country to flee to, while others are absolutely furious. In their eyes, they now have to seek refuge in a country that was complicit in their own country’s destruction. They find it humiliating. And among these humiliated people, radicals begin to form, hell-bent on revenge by any means necessary.
You see, it wasn’t necessarily Islam that radicalized them; rather, it was their environment. But because they are both radicalized and Muslim, they are now labeled ‘Muslim radicals.’ And because it’s Muslim lands that are being destroyed, it’s Muslim radicals that are being created in far greater numbers. But the average person can’t comprehend that, so it’s much easier to say, ‘Oh, it’s Islam making those people terrorists,’ rather than acknowledging that the environment Western foreign policy created made them terrorists. It also lets the Zionist elite get off scot-free because now the finger isn’t pointed at them for the issue; the boogeyman is now the Muslims.
I’d wager that if any other region of the planet were under the same conditions as the Muslim world, you’d also see high numbers of radicals emerging from those regions. In fact, when most of these terrorists give a reason for their actions, after saying the first bit—which is usually something like ‘In the name of Allah!’ (and, like I said, they’re Muslim radicals, so it’s only natural that they’ll give the religious reason first)—they then go on to say that it’s the West’s foreign policy that has motivated their actions. Of course, their terrorism is wrong, but it’s also extremely important that everyone understands the REAL root cause of it. Saying ‘It’s Islam that’s causing it!’ is the lazy excuse, and it gives the real criminals a free pass to continue destroying the world.
Islamic terrorism across the West wasn't really prevalent when we left their lands alone. Saying it’s the West’s foreign policy, which is centered around the protection of Israel, is the more complex reasoning, but it’s the far truer one.
