Islam never forgets the past….no matter how far back in time the offense against Islam occurred. The Ottoman Empire by the time of World War I was nicknamed “The Sick Old Man of Europe.” It had seen its zenith in the 15th century and had been in decline ever since, but it took World War I to finally force its collapse. It only goes to show that all things must end someday, and even America will decline and crumble if given enough time. 😥

I don’t know if it can be traced back to WWI per se, but I think the current problems can be traced back (to a certain degree) to the post-war carve up of the Ottoman lands. This is certainly a factor. Iraq was cobbled together and drawn arbitrarily by Churchill and the Colonial office. Ditto Syria, Jordan, Lebanon to an extent (though this was given to the French) Saudi Arabia to a degree, and the rest. They never had a chance to settle their own boundaries, territories, create their own institutions, fight their own wars or do the other things that peoples and nations must do to at least have a chance to create a workable long term system. Now then, lest I sound like I’m too harsh of a judge, I realize that what was done was thought to be the best solution to the problems of the day, and I for one am at a loss to think of other, better solutions that preserved order and influence of the respective nations and the region as a whole. My 2 cents FWIW.

Prussia was the foundation of the Nation of Germany. This guy Frederick the Great, started the Prussian enterprise. He fought the Habsburgs of Austria in the War of the Bavarrian Succession during the mid eighteenth century. By 1872, the Prussians were arguably the dominant military power in Continental Europe and actually defeated the French under Louis Phillipe (Franco-Prussian War) and took Schleswig and Holstein away from Denmark. The Prussian generals learned how to use railway transport techniques to muster their troops from the American Civil War. James Longstreet and Thomas Jackson were heavily studied as to understand offensive and defensive tactics. The Junkers (the Prussian military aristocracy) were the ruling elites who gave rise to Kaiser Wilhelm II who led the new nation of Germany into World War I. Cool stuff really. 😀

So i guess my whole point here is that if anyone has noticed that we seem to be getting more terrorist attacks in other countrys such as France, Russia and Great Britain. Well you can trace this all back to this time frame of World War I

One attack each since our 9-11 is not really that much considering the curcumstances.  And I have to question if the Russian attack, on that school which is what I'm assuming you mean, was really part of the "jihad" (man, I hate that word.  It is sooo inaccurate) against the west anyway.What caused the Arabs to be angry?  I think it's Britain not keeping their word. The Sykes-Picot Agreement was never really favorable to Arab independence (as was promised and is what they agreed to).  The Arabs were under a mandate system from Britain and France. (combined with the internal Arab problems of kingship and authority)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherif_Hussein_bin_Alihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sykes-Picot_Agreement
