The use of terrorism is by far the most common international problem at present time. Iran uses it methodically, in Iraq, Lebanon & Gaza, and Syria is using it widely in the Middle East, and boldly holds a public conference of known terrorists in Damascus.

But the real danger is with failed regimes, which turn a country to a safe haven to terrorism, such as the case with Afghanistan, and bordering Pakistani regions, and of course the regimes which collaborate with terrorism, intentionally , and as a result of similar ideology , like the Sudan, which as a result of “Muslim brotherhood”, gets away with outright genocide. In general, if one cares to scratch the surface, one finds a common thread here… it is Islamic ideology which fuels regional & international campaigns of violence. The cynical use of fraudulent terminology which tries to cover it up by claims of localized disputes does not hold water. It is clear there is a common thread here, and it is not “a country”, but a faith, which spreads violence worldwide. This is what the “ local violence” has in common-China, Philippines, Indonesia, Russia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Spain, England, Israel, USA, Sudan, France and more.
