you can't separate religion from politics. religion has been used for political means since the time of jesus. look at the unification of nearly every country in europe. it was done by the use of uniting a peoples under one form of christiainity, whether it be protestanism (the netherlands, the german states) or catholicism(spain, france). i'm not saying that terrorism is BECAUSE of islam. i'm saying that the people in power in the middle east use that religion as their tool. it just so happens that the technicalities of Islam make it easier for the fundamentalist regimes to keep their strangle hold on power.
