Don't blame me for observing a truth. If there were no Muslims...the vast majority of terrorism would vanish.

If there were no Muslims, then they would fabricate another threat, that we would have to focus on.
Before 2001 there wasn't even talk of Muslims as a whole being regarded as a threat, that only started after 9/11 to alter public consensus and to justify the upcoming wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
There were terrorist attacks before 2001, however this was regarded then to be on account of certain organizations, rather than the doing of the entire Muslim community, because the Islam is a "cruel and oppressing religion" they would like us to believe nowadays.
Sure, I strongly dissaprove of Sharia Law excercising countries or areas, however this not standard Islamism, but only reinforced by ultra orthodox Muslims.
In comparison, has anyone ever heard an ultra orthodox Jew ramble on, they have very oppressive tendencies as well in my opinion.
A few decades ago we had the "communist threat" in the east and seeing how diplomatic relations have cooled down the last few years now again with Russia, my guess we'll have another Cold War all over again, after the "Muslim threat" has been dealt with.
This time with more focus on China, rather than only Russia.
As to why, I think because the U.S. is loosing terrain real fast as the dominant global power it once was.

1. The EU has been consistently underestimating Islamic threats for years now. There is zero political will to enter the fight, even as their citizens are largely sitting ducks to these people. They also have very obvious appeasement policies that I find unbelievable. For instance, letting hundreds of thousands of migrants into their member nations without so much as a background check. They care more about looking like compassionate progressives than they do about living in the realities of a brutal world beyond their borders.

2. War, to Europeans, seems to be something only the US does, and we are the bullies, not the extremist assholes who slaughter their people, but we- the ones who have the nuts to fight them. NATO countries are required to contribute 2% of their GDP toward their militaries in order to remain on a constant state of readiness. Most do not contribute at all. Their member armies are ill-equipped, poorly trained, and so underfunded that most of the EU armies cannot prosecute a war on their own soil for the requisite 30 days. Military expenditure takes a back seat to progressive socialism and, at this point, international welfare that the US generally provides most of the military deterrent for Europe. It is this military support that allows them to spend on social programs and international welfare while we foot the bill for their defense...All while being criticized by their citizens for doing so.

If the military of each country would stay within their own borders instead of attacking others then there would be less need of such strong military to begin.
They should rename Departments of Defense to Departments of Offense, if only for the sake of governmental transparency in my opinion.

When it comes time to actually do something about this kind of crap, everyone gets indignant and spineless about having to do nasty things to bad people.
and this gives those who refuse to act the all too convenient ability
to point to those in the past that did, and blame it all on them.
