* Religion not the only cause of confrontation

* Close ties with U.S. seen as liablity now -analyst

* Arab Spring not as beneficial to West as had been hoped

"WASHINGTON, Sept 23 (Reuters)- For those who believe in a clash of civilizations between the Islamic world and Western democracy, the last few weeks must seem like final confirmation of their theory."


No, really?
Sorry, my sarcasm and condescension is sharp early in the morning.

The core issue is the hatred of Jesus Christ period!!!. Gods in control

[ray neukirch]

The hatred goes back to Ishmael and his hatred towards God. He always felt slighted though he was given the lions share of the world, he always lusted for Israel. That hatred has been passed down through the ages and is very alive today.

Despite the focus on religion, few doubt there are other drivers of confrontation.

They're still trying to move the focus off of religion...and therefore will never be successful in fighting the terrorism.
