There have regularly been threads regarding specific acts of terrorism against the West. For this thread, we can dig deeper.

http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2008/04/22/48715.html

Al-Qaeda number two, Ayman al-Zawahiri, criticized Muslims for failing to support insurgencies in Iraq and elsewhere and said that Lebanon will play a pivotal role in the Islamists' fight against the "Crusaders and Jews," in an audio message posted on Tuesday on the Internet. From this article, we can see that some jihadists regard the fight as one against "Crusaders."

Do western countries have any culpability in this? What are the complaints of anti-Western terrorists? Is there any validity to the complaints of anti-Western terrorists? What can/should be done?

Discuss the causes, contributing factors and possible solutions to anti-Western terrorism.
