IT'S ISLAM, STUPID

Those that are in search of the root-cause of Islamic terrorism (particularly the mainstream media) have a disturbing penchant for shunning the obvious. Whether it is Osama bin Laden, Khalid Sheik Mohammad or the 9/11 hijackers--all have explicitly stated that they were motivated to shed innocent blood by traditional Koranic text.

These individuals repeatedly quoted such traditional text (recognized by all schools of Islamic jurisprudence as valid calls to jihad and death to the infidels) as they carried out their sinister plots to slaughter thousands of unsuspecting civilians.

So, despite the mainstream media's blind search--these terrorist bastards have already told us what the root-cause of Islamic terrorism is.

It's Islam, stupid.
