Terrorism

[PoliticalCrisis]

Well, i didn't want to write the full name of the topic as the title, so I'll just write it here.
My question is: Is Islamic Terrorism a fabrication of media frenzy and manipulation from certain world governments, or in fact its the cause of fundamentalism within the culture of Islamic states?

If you're asking whether or not its real, or just a over exaggeration of the US and world media, i believe its true and real problem.

Lol it's real even if 9/11 was all set up, it was still Terrorism someone had to fly those planes into the WTC towers. No doubt that fucking happened even if my own Government (America's Government) did the job or paid to have it done. Terrorism has many faces most common is the violence against non combatants. And even if we are just talking about Islamic Terrorism, Terrorist blow shit up in their own Country, some if not most have a Religious factor/reason behind it.
America may be a big pile of bullshit that looks like it's bent on World Domination but my Government can't make such a thing like Terrorism and say it exists and it only be some bullshit. I know America is crud I can say that from my own personal experiences, while I wouldn't put it past my Government to be involved in every Terrorist attack well it sure isn't a fabrication of our imagination. How so?
I guess we can all find out for sure when were the ones who were attacked by Terrorist. It's a real thing whether Governments are involved or not, it's real.

Terrorists often follow their own believes, and have a religious background, that's my thought. They do what they think is right at the time, even if it costs them their lives, they are their own believers, it does cause serious problems, and often can cause civilian casualties. The main point is that they do it for what they believe in.

To balance the arguments out, and to degenerate a bit of debate... I'll go for the other option.
In my opinion, terrorism of course exists, but it is not integrated or a part of the Islamic fundamentalist culture.
Furthermore, the media intentionally associated Islam with Terrorism to generate fear within the American populous so that Mr. George Bush Junior could wage a war on Terror ( As he called it ) and of course gain profit from it.

I do not deny the fact that 9/11 happened due to terrorist attack from fundamentalist Islamic organization, yet that does not mean that the actual religion is purely based on hate or leaned towards terrorist acts, also the fact that nowadays Islam is interchangeably associated with the word Terrorism or Terror is solely cause of the media and its agenda, moreover the United States intelligence was purely generated towards getting as much profit as possible that is why they waged war against terror.

Almost every Religion has a different branch in beliefs, even my own Christianity some believe differently so they slap a label on their belief. So yeah it only makes sense for the whole Islamic Religion to not be purely based on Terrorism. Your question wasn't whether or not it is purely based on Terrorism but if it was a fabrication. 9/11 and the current war is full of bullshit anyway.
Even during 9/11 and on into the year 2002 I did not believe all Islams or foreign people who look like they might be a Terrorist because they look like they are Islamic were a Terrorist, I did not fear them. I watched the news for awhile during this time but I did not grow to fear anyone, not even the people who attacked America.
Your opinion on the question to open up more debate really isn't answering the question. You said it wasn't a fabrication so therefore Terrorism does exist in your opinion.
But no anyone who thinks any Religion is purely based on something really is closed minded. I am a Christian and I am disappointed in the way other Christians act and I don't mean their Sins. My point is you asked if it was a fabrication of certain world governments and media frenzy or is it in reality their culture beliefs. So really when it boils down to it every Religion is built off a foundation then there are other branches, so you have Islam and it's built off a foundation of making sacrifices for Allah (God in Islam) who is all-powerful, all-knowing being who created all and is judge to all the Universe that kind of sums it up I guess.
So then you have these people manipulating poor Islams they tell them they have a job from Allah but it will cost them their life. They get money to provide for their family but in turn blow up something while praising Allah. Then these people turn into more of a Religion, so really what it boils down to is Terrorism is just a branch of Religion. Not to dip into Religious factors but if people really truly believe they are doing it for Allah then what else is it? Do they truly think they are evil people? There is always that Wizard of Oz so to say the man behind the curtain/the man pulling all the strings. He's the mastermind behind everything, so Terrorism is indeed a branch off Islam but is not the foundation of Islam.
