What triggered the Muslim world to attack the U.S.?

Question

What triggered the muslim world to attack the U.S. (1993 WTC bombing and the 9/11 attacks)? Does it have something to do with the 1990 Gulf War? Or was it an influence, that was sparked ever since the 1980's? Was it because American was invading their land back then? What?

Answer 1

It is a war on the West, on Christendom, by Islamic fundamentalists who believe in Jihad, the struggle for Islam. http://politics.usnews.com/news/religion/articles/2008/04/07/why-did-so-many-muslims-seem-to-celebrate-911.html

It would be happening at this juncture in history regardless of American global actions, because of the increase in Islamist fundamentalists across the Muslim landscape, not just Saudi Arabia, where most of the 9-11 terrorists were from, but Iran, obviously, Pakistan, and even in places like the UK and France.

Answer 2

First of all the "Muslim World" did not attack the US, a terror group did, Muslims around the world condemned the attacks as harmful to the Islamic faith. Al Queda ordered the attack on the US because they are not a Islam country, the leader, Osama Bin Laden does not like countries that are not Islamic, especially the western world.

Answer 3

The whole 5 billion Muslims did not attack the whole US, a small band of militants targeted New York, the financial capital of the U.S. to harm our economy. They know money is the lifeblood of the U.S. It was two planned missions on one day. If you cannot handle that, what would you do if YOU were under attack for 8 years?



It was American and Western dominance in the Arab and Muslim culture. It was Christian troops invading a Muslim country. It was the perpetual Israeli and Palestinian conflicts. It was business dealings with Bush and the royal Saudis, their corrupt governments and the US and Europe while their people are impoverished and suffering, most notably Iraq and Saudi Arabia in the 1980s.The U.S. has permanent military bases in Kuwait, Quatar, Bahrain, and previously Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Afghanistan. Would you like Arab or Muslim military bases in your backyard and permanent foreign warships in your waterways?



In 1993 we did not have satellite channels from the Middle East so did not know what was happening there.



I probably left out some important reasons.

Answer 4

Its because of the Quran Burning set up by Terry Jones of the Dove Outreach Center the Commander in afghanistan warns This will lead to more violence sense Christians showed Intolerance to Islam We are defending Muslims there let's be Considerate and Kind to them here.

Answer 5

The Muslim World DID NOT attack the US. A terrorist group led by Osama Bin Laden is believed to have carried out the attack on New York and The Pentagon.This group happens to be Muslim but just as the Irish did not bomb Brighton, the IRA did, it is unfair and incorrect to say the Muslim world did it.

Answer 6

If Pres Obama is elected returned, he wont help Israel in attacking Iran on account which will devastate the region, reason oil speculators on Wall St to make crude oil fees risky and you'd be paying $10 for a gallon of gas. the international won't be able to tolerate to any extent further disruptions in that region. Israel is loopy in the event that they pursue this for genuine. i think of Netanyahu is making an attempt to get American help so he doesnt take the blame for the implications yet i think he's telling human beings there is an forthcoming nuclear weapon from Iran as a manner to plese his maximum appropriate-wing non secular events through fact Netanyahu needs to get elected. yet, that's going to likely be Lebanon yet again. A failed militia incursion inflicting 1100 human beings to die. Netanyahu doesnt care. He needs to stay President or P.M. or in authority. The U.S. below Pres Obama has released cyber assaults to throw Iran's nuke skill flowers offline. we've imposed unfavourable economic sanctions on them, wrecking their economic gadget, forcing their distant places money to lose 40% of its fee, and throwing their usa right into a loose-falling tailspin. yet below the NPT, Iran has the inalienable maximum appropriate to pursue nuclear skill for scientific purposes and different civilian purposes. give up listening to Netanyahu. He has stated Iran advance into on the verge of nuclear weapons in view that 1994.

Answer 7

Essentially, the base conflict is WITHIN Islam, not between Islam and the West. Radical extremist Muslims want to overthrow more moderate Muslim regimes, which they consider not really Muslim. Since the US is on more or less good terms with these more moderate regimes, and helps them in their fight with the extremists, the extremists feel it necessary to attack us too. To stop us from supporting less extreme regimes.

These extremist organizations are illegal in most Muslim countries; they actually have more freedom to speak and recruit in Western nations.

Answer 8

it wasn't muslims as a whole that attacked the US, it was a group of people claiming to know about islam, when they were actually just spreading the completely wrong word.

Answer 9

I think those who carried out the attacks were brainwashed into believing that Americans are evil and did this to go to heaven,but those who ordered the attacks mostly did it due to power issues,not religious issues,Iran's regime comes to mind for example. btw,there's not a single normal Iranian person who would support terrorist attacks,it's just our regime who does it.

Answer 11

The United States is 80% Christian. And it is the command of the Qur'an that Muslims eliminate those that do not believe in Islam.

In truth, the Qur’an not only calls Muslims to submit to Allah, it also commands them to subdue people of other religions until they are in a full state of submission to Islamic rule. This has inspired the aggressive history of Islam.

Submission and peace can be very different concepts, even if a form of peace is often brought about through forcing others into submission. As the modern-day Islamic scholar, Ibrahim Sulaiman, puts it, Jihad is not inhumane, despite its necessary violence and bloodshed, its ultimate desire is peace which is protected and enhanced by the rule of law.

Qur'an (2:191-193) And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah.

Qur'an (2:216) Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not. (Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the audience was obviously not under attack at the time.

Qur'an (3:56) As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.

Qur'an (3:151) Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority".

Qur'an (8:12) I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

Qur'an (8:59-60) And let not those who disbelieve suppose that they can outstrip (Allah's Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape. Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your enemy.

Qur'an (9:14) Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace...

Qur'an (9:73) O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.

Qur'an (9:123) O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness.

Qur'an (21:44) We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them; See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?"

Qur'an (25:52) Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness, with the (Qur'an).

Hadith 4:271 - Narrated Jabir:

The Prophet said, "Who is ready to kill Ka'b bin Ashraf (i.e. a Jew). Muhammad bin Maslama replied, "Do you like me to kill him?" The Prophet replied in the affirmative. Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to say what I like. The Prophet replied, "I do (i.e. allow you).

Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.

Bukhari (52:256) - The Prophet... was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, "They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans).

Tabari 9:69 Killing Unbelievers is a small matter to us"

Ibn Ishaq: 992 Fight everyone in the way of Allah and kill those who disbelieve in Allah.
