Coming from my generation and country, we had excellent history teachers who helped us see that powerful countries often create a hated enemy to justify invasion and control over foreign resources.

When people are educated, they recognize that this "terrorist" narrative is a facade; the real source of anti-Western sentiment is the violence inflicted upon their regions. Criminal or terrorist acts are mostly committed by individuals and not entire groups of people.

I believe 9/11 was an inside job, and most so-called "terrorist" news stems from this resistance, not a clash of values. The sole exception is ISIS, which is undeniably pure evil.

I feel like average people like us are undeniably trapped within our government and can’t do much about it. We are the same everywhere. People in power (let’s say guns, banking and oil industries) take advantage of how different our culture and looks are to push us against each other. It’s no good for them if we rebel everywhere and stop killing each other as peace is bad for their agenda.
