So Allah has these people engaging in a Holy War and to give ones life for Allah many treasures await them in the afterlife.To the terriosts this is not terrorism but battles fought in a Holy War. Also America has had differances in the Mid-East since the mid 1950s starting with Lebanon and continuing to today with Iraq, Iran and Afganiston who we will be encountering next. It seems to me that we are sticking our nose in other people's business who don't want our noses anywhere near them.
