You have many young men, who can not find work, who can not find wives, who are sexually repressed, and have nothing better to do with their lives. Then someone comes along and gives them something to do, overthrow governments that made sure they, couldn't find work, couldn't find wives, were sexually repressed, and had nothing to do.

Its the same story with insurgents and revolutions world wide. The fact that they are using religion as part of their methodology isn't new. Christians did it in the crusades as well.
You were there?

Please stop with the Christian comparisons, because there is none that's relevant. You only discredit yourself in these attempts.

Why are they irrelevant? It is a blink of an eye in the history of mankind. It wasn't so long ago. We simply have more opportunity then this region of the world. When young men get bored, they often turn to religious ideals for guidance, and there are always men willing to push them into this kind of action. That is the point.

It seems that the media is doing a good job to cover up most of the details. And it would be passed off as conspiracies.
Oh, for God's sake. Every other conspiracy on the third day of every week always gets floated involving someone supposedly being a "Mossad agent." There are more "Mossad agents", according to the tin foilers, than you could shake a stick at. Can we at least come up with a new conspiracy meme?

Our Government along with the nationless war corporations are only looking to prolong war.
I think the poster is making a distinction between exposing(as in investigating and reporting) and exposure (as in media coverage).

Memes get recycled all the time. The Big T is a great example. However, the writers of that particular publication appear to have some interesting backgrounds.
