So Islam has been around for a long time, right? And is pretty popular worldwide? Seems like Islamic terrorism has only become a worldwide threat in the last 20-30 years. I don't remember terrorism being such an issue before then (but remember - i am stupid).
Was it always an issue, or did something within Islam change in the relatively recent past? When I was growing up, communism was the big worry. We even teamed up with Muslims to fight that threat. Was the Muslim threat just something we overlooked at the time because the communism was an even bigger worldwide threat?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge everyone. And for having patience with me while you explain things.
