Arab-Israeli Conflict is only just another excuse for Islamic Terrorism

As a matter of fact, Islamic Terrorism has nothing to do with the Arab-Israeli Conflict.

Islamic terrorism is related basically to the spread of the hard line Wahabi Faith among Muslims.

I am living among Muslims all my life and I can assure you that if there was no Arab-Israeli conflict, the new radical Islam will find another excuse to get violent.

Otherwise, how you can explain the Muslims that are killing the Christians in Egypt ?

How can you explain the Muslims that attack the churches in Upper Egypt? How you can explain that because I am Christian, I am not allowed to certain jobs in Egypt?

How you can explain Shiites and Bahai's persecution in Egypt and in Saudi Arabia.

How you can explain the violence and the deteriorated situation of women in all the Islamic countries?

How you can explain Shiites and Sunnis killing each other in Iraq?

I believe it is all related to the Wahabi explanation of Islam, and if we assume Israeli-Palestinian conflict is solved, we will see new excuses to spread hatred in another way.
