What were the months called during the french reign of terror?
The Reign of Terror (27 June 1793 - 27 July 1794), also known as the The Terror (French: la Terreur) was a period of violence that occurred for one year and two months after the onset of the French Revolution, incited by conflict between rival political factions, the Girondins and the Jacobins, and marked by mass executions of "enemies of the revolution."
Answer 1
In Iraq alone, it is published that 1 million Iraqi were killed during the American war in Iraq. In addition, thousands were killed in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Palestine territories, and other countries. Most of non-Muslim people know little about Islam and they just rely on Media of US, Israel, and Europe. Some don't even know the difference between the two words Islam and Muslims and they the followers of Islam by Islam or Islams and not by Muslims. It is a pity that a US Bishop calls to burn the Quran in a world day celebration and when asked did you read the Quran? he says no.
Answer 2
Factually, Answer 1 is a bit of a mess. The latest estimates are that somewhere around a half-million (500,000) Iraqis have been killed either in the initial invasion, or in the sectarian violence since the war ended (the majority in the later). In addition, approximately 4-5 million Iraqis have become refugees. The numbers in Afghanistan/Pakistan are significantly lower, but still substantial (no reliable numbers have been published for that conflict by any reputable source). The War on Terror does not generally involve specific military operations outside the above areas, though I'm certain that the various Intelligence agencies conduct clandestine operations globally against perceived threats.
Besides the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the War on Terror has to include the conflicts elsewhere specifically concerning terrorism (or, at least, one side's definition). That would include a variety of attacks in India, the UK, Japan, Spain, the Philippines, and several other places, plus much of the ongoing civil war/conflict in Yemen and neighboring areas. No good estimates of the death tolls in Yemen exist, while rough numbers for the death tolls in various explicit terror attacks sits at around 3,000. Much of the death in Yemen, et al is Muslim, while only a small minority of the deaths in Spain, India, et al are Muslim.
As to the second part of the question: unfortunately, as with most topics, the American public almost exclusively uses the major mass media as its source of information. Which means that their opinions of Islam are generally shaped by newscasts, newspapers, and (increasingly) by radio/TV personalities. The latter are particularly poor sources of factual information, as they have no reason to present a balanced viewpoint, nor correct misinformation or mistakes. However, even the former two media sources are no longer considered very good sources of information, as the quality of reporting has significantly degraded in the past three decades.
While the pro-Israel lobby has significant influence and the US has a stanch history of being a solid Israeli backer, it would be a mistake to say that the Israeli government itself has any significant impact (or influence) on the general US public opinion. It has non-trivial impact on Congress, however, as there exists a very strong pro-Israel lobby.
One final note: as an aside, the questioner makes the assumption that the US is battling Muslims. Not all Iraqi or Afghani peoples are Muslim. In fact, a notable minority are NOT. In addition, most of the current crop of terrorists are as much Muslim as Timothy McVeigh was Christian - it is not terribly relevant, since their true motives are political, not religious. While they might dress it up in religious speak, a closer look at them reveals that they're just in it for political ends, and religion is a cloak to fool the masses. The War on Terror is really a political war, not a religious one. And, of course, none of this speaks to the effectiveness or appropriateness of the conflict, which is a completely different topic.
Answer 3ORB calculated 1,220,580 deaths since the 2003 invasion. From the poll margin of error of 2.5% ORB came up with a range of 733,158 to 1,446,063 deaths.Jared M. On Friday, 14 September 2007, ORB (Opinion Research Business), an independent polling agency located in London, published estimates of the total war casualties in Iraq since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. At over 1.2 million deaths (1,220,580), this estimate is the highest number published so far. From the poll margin of error of +/-2.5% ORB calculated a range of 733,158 to 1,446,063 deaths. The ORB estimate was performed by a random survey of 1,720 adults aged 18+, out of which 1,499 responded, in fifteen of the eighteen governorates within Iraq, between August 12 and August 19, 2007. In comparison, the 2006 Lancet survey suggested almost half this number (654,965 deaths) through the end of June 2006. The Lancet authors calculated a range of 392,979 to 942,636 deaths. On 28 January 2008, ORB published an update based on additional work carried out in rural areas of Iraq. Some 600 additional interviews were undertaken September 20 to 24, 2007. As a result of this the death estimate was revised to 1,033,000 with a given range of 946,000 to 1,120,000. See related links below. Answer 4The difficulty and wide range of estimates above indicates the problems in definitions: the ORB survey includes ALL deaths of non-natural causes in Iraq between 2003 and 2007, and is hampered by problems with accuracy due to refugee status. It has also received criticism from peers as to poor methodology leading to less than reliable results. The Lancet study had related, but not identical problems, though it is generally well-accepted by peer review. In both cases, it's hard to categorize who was killed in the War on Terror, who died as a result of direct combat, who was killed by partisan and sectarian infighting, who died due to hardships of being refugees, etc. The truth is never simple, and putting an exact number to the casualties (and cause of those casualties) in the Iraq War is going to be pretty much impossible, especially since the region doesn't conduct frequent accurate census of populations, and the overall fluid movement of people makes identification of casualties difficult. This is doubly true for places like Afghanistan, Yemen and portions of Africa.A side hint: The war is to implement undeclared political and economical agendas of the invaders in the invaded countries rather than war against terror. Even the sectarian war in Iraq was fueled by the invaders to keep the country away from possible political and economic revival. Otherwise, how do you explain the absence of this sectarian wars before the US invasion of Iraq.
Apart from the Iraqi victims through the claimed war on terror, give a look to the current Iraq political, social, economic status to find that Iraq practically now is partitioned. There are every day victims of violence and opposing fronts. Iraq has neither an established army nor an established police. Iraq lost its leading status in the region regarding social and medical insurance systems. The Iraq oil is almost under control of foreign countries to pay the bill of the war on Iraq. The Iraqi historical museums were destroyed and robbed by foreign gangs. Iraqi one million children died due to sanctions and due to the use of uranium missiles. I wonder how one or a country supports the war against terror while this one or this country is waging terror.

There are a number of inaccuracies with your question, which may help to explain why the Israelis did what they did.
1) Hamas is not a Neo-Nazi Party. -- Whatever horrible things can be said about their methods and their politics, their primary interest is political, i.e. the removal of a State, not ethnic cleansing. While it is likely that given the control of the entire former British Mandate of Palestine, mass pogroms against the Jewish inhabitants would ensue, Hamas would not try to further effectuate them. For them it is a question of political power, not racial purity.
2) Israel did not bequeath the West Bank to Hamas. -- Israel, at the Oslo Accords, set aside territory in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank to Fatah and the Palestinian Liberation Organization. These two organizations/terrorist groups were exclusive of Hamas intentionally by both sides. These two groups hybridized and formed the Palestinian Authority, which is still the government of the West Bank. The PA has been working very closely with Israel to improve the situation in the West Bank both for Palestinians and Israeli soldiers.
3) Israel's unilateral disengagement from Gaza was during the PA's control. -- Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon realized that it was economically unfeasible to maintain settlements in the Gaza Strip because it cost more to defend them and supply them than it the tax revenue and jobs that the region brought to Israel. After a series of failed negotiations, Sharon forcibly removed all Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip, making the territory a contiguous zone completely controlled by the Palestinian Authority.
4) Israel had no control of the Palestinian Elections of 2006 or the Palestinian Civil War of 2006. -- In 2006, the Palestinians had one of the freest elections in the history of the Arab World and elected Hamas over Fatah as the rulers of the Palestinian Authority in a landslide. Realizing that Hamas would worsen the lives for Palestinians almost immediately, Fatah made moves to exclude them from actually taking control. Angered that they were denied the power that they won, Hamas launched a civil war against Fatah and were able to force them out of Gaza. They were unsuccessful in taking the West Bank. In both the elections and the Civil War, Israel played no part in Palestinian internal affairs.
Remnant of Question
On to what remains of your question. Israel cannot devote all of its efforts to removing Hamas from Gaza. It is an entrenched organization with a large percentage of people in its employ. It is not just a paramilitary organization, but it also has a political wing, a welfare wing, a police corps, an educational division, and healthcare division. It is a complete government with a very violent outlook. Israel attempts to toe the line between tolerating madness and combating insanity. For the moment, anyway, Gaza is not even the biggest threat to Israeli Security. Operation Cast Lead led to a severe reduction in Qassam Rocket attacks and so, Israel has needed to focus its attention on solving the Iran Crisis.
Taliban is still their. We are working to train their soldiers to deal with the problem.
Millions of Africans were tortured and murdered to maintain control and to terrorise the survivors. The rubber part comes from the rubber plantations that were the sites of the abuses. Many had hands cut off or were flogged (sometimes to death) for failing to meet their daily quota for harvesting rubber. Others were starved and worked to death.

Is the Taliban left-wing or right-wing?
The Taliban are Wahhabi Sunni Muslims created by the US to confront Russia forces.
They are probably closest to being religious theocrats, so that would make them "right-wing" in the most general sense. In terms of social action, they were extremely conservative, banning women's education and actively hunting down homosexuals and apostates. However, unlike most right-wing groups, they had no desire to strengthen corporations, grow the economy, or any other "right-wing" economic policy.
The Right-Wing in most developed (and even developing) countries is nowhere near as barbaric and cruel as the Taliban.

What were the two main goals of Bolshevik terrorism prior to the October revolution?
Violence and terrorism were used by the Bolsheviks prior to the 1917 October revolution mostly as a means to finance their activities and secondarily as a political weapon. Stalin seemed to lead the way in this via robberies. The Bolsheviks would intercept rubles in transit between banks. The were "bank robbers". Just like today's terrorists, the Bolsheviks used bombs. Their terrorist "center" was tagged the Bolshevik Center. This group was headed by Lenin, Krassin, and Bogdanov. The Bolshevik Center was a defacto dictatorship that operated within the Party's Central Committee. Their main office was in St. Petersburg and manufactured 150 bombs per day.
Other sources of funds were from embezzlement, extortion and blackmail. This was aided by the purely criminal elements that were attracted to reaping financial gains from Bolshevik activities.
In the underground organizations that permeated Russia. The fact that the Bolsheviks were known to be willing to use violence and terror added to their disruptive activities gave them more power when it came to leading and controlling strikes and street demonstrations.

Differences between Taliban and Shi'a Terrorist Forces?
Taliban is not shia. Taliban members are Wahhabi which is a sunni sect. there is not relation between shia and Taliban.
What weapons did the Taliban use?
Majority of their weapons that I've seen were originally Soviet designs, but manufactured in China or Pakistan - who had traditionally been their main suppliers. They would also have weapons of Soviet/Russian manufacture, typically either left behind after the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, or captured from Northern Alliance forces (who the Russians continued to provide materiel to during the civil war which ensued after the 1989 Soviet withdrawal). We also captured a fair number of Enfield rifles, both of British and Pakistani manufacture.
