"A world without Islam would still see most of the enduring bloody rivalries whose wars and tribulations dominate the geopolitical landscape," says Fuller, author of many books, including The Future of Political Islam.

"In the bluntest of terms, would there have been a 9/11 without Islam? . . . It's important to remember how easily religion can be invoked when other long-standing grievances are to blame. Sept. 11, 2001, was not the beginning of history."

It's too comfortable for Western observers to ignore a long history of Western colonialism in the Middle East while blindly identifying Islam as the key source of global tension, Fuller says.

"It's much easier than exploring the impact of the massive global footprint of the world's sole superpower," writes Fuller, who was an intelligence agent and strategist in the highest echelons of the CIA until 1988, before moving to the Rand Corporation think-tank. With the CIA, he spent most of his career in Muslim countries, advising top U.S. government officials.

"A terrorist attack on the U.S. like that launched on Sept. 11, 2001 would likely have occurred even if the Muslim religion had never existed, ..."

Well of course, since the Islamic religion had nothing to do with it. The series of attacks have long since been shown to have been orchestrated by the US government itself, used (among other things) as a convenient excuse to destroy the US Constitution and invoke at least two major wars of aggression.

Why is Canada allowing these hardened criminals into the country?

"Why is Canada allowing these hardened criminals into the country?"

Quick answer?
Because Canadians are slaves owned by Banksters, and scurry for survival

"even if the region had remained largely Christian."??????

Say what?

"Eastern Orthodox Christianity "maintains residual fears about the West that parallel in many ways current Muslim insecurities: fears of Western missionary proselytism, a tendency to perceive religion as a key vehicle for protection of their own communities and culture, and a suspicion of the 'corrupted' and imperial character of the West."

Huh?

"To those who suggest Islam is inherently anti-democratic, Fuller responds that Christians have supported recent dictatorships in Latin America and Europe, including in Spain, Portugal, Greece and even contemporary Russia."

Recent dictatorships? Does that include the one's in the Middle East as well...?

"Fuller, 69, who has lived for several years with his wife, Prue, in Squamish, where he plans to remain, also doesn't let off the hook those atheists who like to blame religion, whether Islam or Christianity, for inciting much of the planet's violence."

...so he's attacking 'atheists' now...I thought he was talking about Islam?

No wonder the US is fucked up if goofs like this were running the CIA; why would SFU hire such a twit?

Sounds like he is still working for the CIA...

Ideologies and ecological theories are also the same faith based religions as any other, always invented and designed for the legalization of energy theft by one sector against another.

Hitler, Stalin, Mao et all were not atheists, but the followers of another set of economic prophets, exactly the same way as when God ordered the colonization and enslavement of other countries through His priests, who always followed the conquering armies.

Today's university economics departments could and should easily be transferred to theology, because their products are nothing more than the Priesthood of the Money God, who liveth and giveth His orders to His followers with invented scriptures, facts and figures through computers.

As always in history.........

Correction.......

I should have said in my first line "economic", not "ecological" theories, and proofread what I wrote.

mea culpa and all that jazz!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah of course it would have been likely because in the PNAC documents they outline the requirement for another 'Pearl Harbor-like' event.

You pathetic worms who are trying to destroy the country need to give it a rest already. We're on to you!

Good damn do I enjoy your posts -- you have a way of boiling it down to the bare bones. In fact, swear to God, I read your comment and agreed wholly heartedly with what you said...except that one word.

I was thinking at the time -- nawh, must be mistake, this 'Ed Deak' doesn't usually make mistakes like that...

I'm glad my first impression kept me from self-righteously hitting that reply button and scoring a cheap point!

Right said, Sir -- you're are one of the good Canadians.

[Diogenes]

'Good damn'/bad damn
It's all an economic sham.
at least scince the advent of the international Bankster.
Although I don't have your insights ans elife experiences, Ed, I have reached similar conclusions.

In my veiw it is, and has bee economic imperialism streering world event by whipping up long held, and probably implanted, religious hatreds

I can't have much respect for tardy whistle blowers. Many "insiders" know what is going on and yet be cause their livilhoods rely on their position , don't speak out.

So just because your livelihood depends on your position, is it OK to be part of
the problem, instead of being part of the solution? Damned if you do and double
damned if you don't.

I posted the comment because i have a relative who could be a whistle blower, and no it ain’t alright in my book. OH ya he’s a Mason too LOL
