This is a list of the horrendous history of appeasement and cowardice on the part of the West towards Islamic fundamentalists in response to the murderous acts they have committed since WWII. I have not included most of the atrocities committed in Israel since they are almost daily in occurrence and would fill a book on their own.

Notice that both of our political parties have been complicit in this total refusal to defend American lives and property.

If you doubt this list check it for yourself.

1950:

 The Saudi Arabian government begins to abrogate oil development contracts and leases with U.S., British and French oil companies. Those companies had discovered, developed and produced virtually every drop of oil in the Middle East. The companies opposed this unilateral breaking of contracts, but in December were pressured by the U.S. State Department (when Truman was President) into surrendering nearly half of their private property in the region - as well as surrendering most of their rightful claims to future oil output.[1] This was the first de facto nationalization of Western oil assets.

1956:

In July, Egypt's president, Nasser nationalizes the Suez Canal Co., which had been owned, built and operated by Western companies. Egypt then prevents Israeli and Western oil companies from shipping their oil through the canal that tery built. When France, Israel and Britain launch military strikes to retake their property President Eisenhower is enraged and pressures them to back off.

1968:

In June Muslim Sirhan Bishara Sirhan assassinates U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy at a California hotel. The next day, a leading Arab activist, Dr. Mohammad T. Mehdi, says Sirhan opposed Kennedy's promise to have the U.S. sell bomber planes to Israel. A May 18^th diary entry has Sirhan repeatedly writing that "RFK Must Die!"

1970-1971:

 OPEC imposes a 55% tax on the profits of foreign oil·companies and threatens an embargo against any firm that balks.[3] Tax rates are raised repeatedly in the years thereafter. The U.S. government endorses the new tax burden as an alleged means of retaining a presence in the region. In July Venezuela begins nationalizing foreign oil assets (completed in 1976) and later joins OPEC. The U.S. government does nothing. In December, Libya nationalizes all concessions and other oil assets owned by British oil firms. The British government does nothing.

1972:

In June Iraq nationalizes all assets in the country owned by British Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell, Compagnie Francaise des Petroles, Mobil Oil and Standard Oil of New Jersey. The governments of Britain, France and the U.S. do nothing. In October OPEC nationalizes 25% of all remaining Western oil assets in Kuwait, Qatar, Abu Dahbi and Saudi Arabia. The stolen concessions were valued at over $1 billion in 1972 dollars. The U.S. government does nothing to block or rectify the theft, citing an inability to do so under so-called "international law”.

1972:

On 30 May terrorists attacked the Lod (now known as Ben Gurion) airport in Israel with machine guns and grenades. The number killed was 26 while 78 others fell seriously wounded. Of the killed 16 were Americans.[4]

In July, at the Olympic Village in Munich, Muslim terrorists take eleven Israeli wrestlers hostage and days later murder all of them as the whole world watched. Israel later conducts a few bombing raids; the U.S. does nothing.

1973:

In January the Shah of Iran nationalizes the oil assets of U.S., British and French oil companies which had first been developed in 1954 and established with contracts to expire in 1979. During the summer Libya and Nigeria nationalize Western oil assets. In October, Iraq nationalizes the remaining local assets held by Exxon and Mobil. In the same month, Arab nations invade Israel. Later in the month, OPEC shuts off all of its oil exports to the West, in retaliation for U.S. support of Israel. Having already stolen Western oil assets, Arab nations then seek to starve the West of its own oil.

On August 5, PLO-Black September (Palestinian) terrorists toting machine guns and throwing grenades killed 3 Americans and wounded over 55 people when they attacked the Israeli lounge at the Athens airport. The passengers were waiting to embark on a TWA flight bound from Athens to New York. These inhuman barbarians were immediately arrested, convicted and sentenced to death. Six months later, however, they were set free as part of a negotiation agreement to release hostages held in Pakistan by other Islamic/Arab Terrorists

1974:

In October, Saudi Arabia raises tax rates to 85% on the dwindling assets and profits that are still controlled locally by Western oil producers.

On September 8, 1974 a bomb hidden onboard TWA 841 exploded plunging 88 people including 13 Americans to their deaths in the Ionian Sea. The airliner was traveling from Tel Aviv to New York. Palestinian Abu Nidal Organization was responsible for this attack.

1975:

The IMF and World Bank, funded primarily by U.S. taxpayers, begin granting loans and aid to poor countries, so they can pay for oil exported by OPEC (now triple its price of three years earlier).

1976:

President Ford signs an executive order making it illegal for U.S. military or intelligence officials to assassinate foreign leaders, even those seeking to harm the U.S. or expropriate U.S. business assets.

In July Palestinian terrorists seize 105 Israelis as hostages and fly them to Entebbe airport in Uganda, Africa. The terrorists are aided by Ugandan dictator ldi Amin. An Israeli force of 500 men travel to Entebbe, rescue the hostages, destroy the entire fleet of fighter planes in the Ugandan Air Force and kill every Ugandan soldier in sight. The U.N. and the U.S. condemn Israel's response as excessive and as a violation of Ugandan sovereignty. But according to one account, "For a country which had resigned itself to Amin ruling as long as he wished, July 4, 1976, shattered his aura of invincibility. The rescue embold­ened Amin's opponents, and sabotages increased. Nothing Amin did after that could rebuild his grip on the country."[5] By 1979 his own subjects oust Amin.

1977:

President Carter gets Israel and Egypt to sign the "Camp David Peace Accords”. Thus begins a multi-year process whereby U.S. officials repeatedly pressure Israel to sacrifice its land and security in return for "peace" (i.e., not being murdered by Palestinians). See 1981 below.

1979:

In January, Iran's Shah is deposed and replaced with an Islamic theocracy headed by dictator Ayatol­lah Khomeini. The U.S. refuses to support the Shah, though he had been an ally of the U.S. since the 1950s. In early November, Muslim terrorists supported by the government, storm the U.S. embassy in Teheran and hold 70 Americans hostage for the next 14 months. President Carter orders a cessation of Iranian oil exports to the U.S. and seizes some Iranian bank accounts. He tries to use the money to bribe the hostage takers. The U.S. takes no military action, other than a completely mismanaged rescue attempt which merely killed more Americans and accomplished nothing. The hostages are released on the day Ronald Reagan is inaugurated in January 1981; but Reagan does nothing to retaliate militarily for the hostage-taking.

On 2 December, the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli is attacked and burned by Libyan mob.

1979-1989:

From the time of the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 to its departure in 1989, the U.S. government spends more than $3 billion to fund, train and provide armaments to Muslim guerilla terrorists (the "mujahidin") to fight the "godless" communists. One of the guerilla terrorists is Osama bin Laden, who over the years would become a central figure promoting Muslim terrorism. Presidents Carter, Reagan and Bush abet those intent on murdering Americans.

1981:

Muslim radicals in his own army who seek to destroy Israel and the U.S. assassinate Egypt’s leader, Anwar Sadat.

1983:

In April, a suicide bomber hits the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, murdering 63. The U.S. does nothing. In October, a U.S. military barracks in Beirut, established to "preserve peace" between Israelis and Arabs, is bombed by Hezbollah, a Muslim terrorist group, killing 241 U.S. marines who held weapons devoid if ammunition. The Reagan administration does nothing militarily to avenge the act; it continues to promote the Mideast "peace process”, again pressuring Israel to concede to the demands of PLO terrorists.

1984:

Terrorists supported by the government of Grenada take Americans hostage at a local medical school. President Reagan sends in the U.S. marines and retrieves them. Grenada's government is left un­punished - and standing. The American media criticizes Mr. Reagan's actions as "excessive”.

1985:

In 1985, Iran takes U.S. hostages once again. The Reagan Administration takes no military action but later in 1986 is exposed as having sent armaments to Iran to help in its war against Iraq, in return for a release of hostages. The "arms for hostages" deal irreparably weakens Reagan's credibility.

TWA Flight 847 was hijacked by the Organization for the Oppressed of the Earth, a group widely believed to be a nom de guerre of the Islamist Lebanese Shia group Hezbollah, on Friday morning, June 14, 1985. The aircraft with its passengers and crew endured a three-day intercontinental ordeal during which one passenger, a U.S. Navy diver, was killed. His body was dumped out of the plane onto the tarmac of the Beirut airport. Dozens of passengers were then held hostage over the next two weeks, until released by their captors.

On 7 October, four Palestinian terrorists hijacked the cruise ship Achilles Lauro. Leon (69) and Marilyn Klinghoffer, American Jews, had been celebrating their wedding anniversary by taking this cruise. Leon was disabled. He was shot in his wheelchair and thrown overboard as his wife watched. The remaining hostages were released after Egypt agreed to grant them safe passage. American Navy fighter planes forced the plane in which they were fleeing to land in Italy. Italy released the mastermind of the operation, Mohammed Abul Abbas to Yugoslavia. The hijackers were tried, convicted and sentenced to prison by the Italian courts but later escaped.

On December 12, 1985, in Gander, Newfoundland, Arrow Air DC-8 crashed to the ground shortly after takeoff killing 248 American soldiers and 8 crew members. Islamic Jihad immediately took reponsibility for the disaster. Although eyewitnesses report seeing the plane explode in midair; the Canadian and United States governments declared that "ice on the wing" was the official cause of the crash. Our military who had been a part of the 101st Airborne were returning home from a U.N. peacekeeping mission in Cairo, Egypt. Regardless of the actual cause, the fact that Islamists wanted to take credit for it speaks for itself.

1986:

In April, terrorists linked to the Libyan government bomb a discotheque in Berlin, killing, among others, two U.S. servicemen and wounding more than 200. President Reagan has the U.S. Air Force conduct superficial air strikes near the compound of Libyan dictator Muammar al-Quadaffy, but otherwise leaves him whole and fully in power. Two years later (see below) terrorists sponsored by Libya blow Pan Am 103 out of the sky, murdering 270. The trial in Germany for the discotheque bombing doesn't begin until November 1997 - eleven years later after the fact.

On 30 March, a Palestinian bomb exploded aboard TWA 840 as it was preparing to land in Athens, Greece. This caused four American passengers to be sucked out of the blast hole and hurled to their death.

1987:

In November terrorists sponsored by North Korea blow up a South Korean airline jet flying off the coast of Burma. Neither the South Koreans nor their ally, the U.S., do anything about it.

On May 17, an Iraqi fighter jet fired two missiles at the USS Stark deployed to the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq war killing 37 Americans. The first missile tore through the crew's quarters while the second missle hit the superstructure.

1988:

Attempting to extend censorship internationally, Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini issues a "fatwa" (death warrant) on British writer Salman Rushdie, for writing an (allegedly) anti-Islamic novel. The reward is $2.8 million and to this day has not been rescinded by Iran. The book's publisher is a U.S. company. Book publishers decry the act, but the Bush administration does nothing.

On 21 December, two Libyan terrorists blow up Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 270 people. Neither the U.K. nor the U.S. takes any military action. Not until 2001 is one of the terrorists (with ties to the Libyan government, as proven in court) convicted and jailed - but by the so-called "international court" in the Hague. The other is set free. The U.S. takes no military action against Libya.

1989:

In June, the Chinese military massacres thousands of innocent students and civilians gathering in Tiananmen Square. The students had erected a makeshift State of Liberty and conducted public readings of the Declaration of Independence. The U.S. continues to recognize China as a civilized nation and accedes to China's warnings not to interfere with its "internal affairs." In the late 1990s, the U.S. learns that Chinese spies working within the U.S. military and intelligence establishment stole U.S. nuclear secrets. Some culprits are arrested but the U.S. does not alter its official relationship with China. On the contrary, it mounts a campaign to accept China into the World Trade Organization.

On 19 September, Libyan bomb, which was hidden in a suitcase on French airliner UTA 772, exploded over the Sahara Desert killing all 171 people on board. Seven Americans lost their lives on that terrible day including the wife of the United States Ambassador to Chad, Robert L. Pugh.

1990-91:

In August 1990 Iraq - led by long-term terrorist sponsor Saddam Hussein - invades Kuwait. President Bush says the invasion "will not stand" but spends the next six months assembling a "coalition" of international support, including from the U.N. - of which Iraq and other terrorist states are members. The U.S. Congress debates U.S. involvement and many members oppose it Meanwhile Iraq's scud missiles fall on Israel- a U.S. ally. Not until January 1991 does Bush issue an ultimatum and a military contingent is deployed, driving the Iraqis out of Kuwait. According to General Norman Schwartzkoff the U.S. has the ability to bomb Baghdad and kill Saddam Hussein and he offers to do that, but President Bush, in consultation with Dick Cheney (Secretary of Defense) and Colin Powell (Commander of the Joint Chiefs) oppose it on the grounds that neither a U.N. Security Council resolution nor Congressional resolutions permit it. Although this is called «the Gulf War," there is no "war" per se; the U.S. simply "pushes" the Iraqis out of Kuwait and back over their border. Some U.S. rockets strike Iraqi installations, but enemy casualties are minor. Iraq and its leaders are left intact and subject to economic sanctions. In subsequent years Iraq - which has the capacity to build and launch nuclear and biological weapons - repeatedly blocks U.N.-approved inspections of its various facilities.[6] The U.S. does nothing about it.

1993:

In February 6: people are murdered and over 1,000 maimed when Muslim terrorists linked to bin Laden detonate a truck bomb in the parking garage under New York's World Trade Center. It leaves a crater six: stories deep. One direct perpetrator, Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, is convicted and jailed in 2000. During his extradition from Pakistan in 1995, he tells an FBI agent that Muslims despise America and that his goal was to bring the towers down completely, but that he lacked sufficient funding and support to do so. He quotes Osama bin Laden as saying "I want those things to come down."

Later in the year, intelligence foils an Iraqi-Muslim plot to assassinate President Bush during his visit to Kuwait.

1993:

In October, followers of bin Laden launch rockets that shoot down U.S. helicopters in Mogadishu, Somalia, killing 18 servicemen. The U.S. does nothing. According to bin Laden, "With Allah's grace, Muslims over there, cooperated with some Arab mujahideen who were in Afghanistan. They participated with their brothers in Somalia against the American occupation troops and killed large numbers of them. The American administration was aware of that.”

1994:

Kim il Sung dies of old age. This is the thug who started the Korean War by invading South Korea. A war in which 106000 GIs died (including deaths due to privation, disease and imprisonment). (A war in which we should not have been involved as we had no national interest.) The country is ruled today by his son a thug of similar stripe to whom we have paid annual blackmail to get him to not develop nuclear weapons. This appeasement policy has been carried out by both parties and by Presidents: Carter, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton and Bush 2.

1995:

In March terrorists from the religious cult Aum Shinrikyo release sarin - a deadly nerve gas - into the Tokyo subway system. Culprits are later apprehended and convicted. Some commit suicide.

In April, Christian fundamentalist Timothy McVey blows up a government office building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Not until 2001 is he convicted and subjected to the death penalty. Instead of rebuilding, the locals create a graveyard and erect a museum, forever commemorating McVey's act.

In November followers of bin Laden bomb part of a U.S. military base in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killing six Americans. The U.S. government does nothing.

1996:

Muslim terrorists bomb the Khobar Towers apartment building in Saudi Arabia, killing 19 U.S. Air Force servicemen. The U.S. government promises "justice" but effectively does nothing. Later in the year, the U.S. Congress and President Clinton enact the "Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996," which requires the State Department to track and publish all available information on the extent, whereabouts, background and funding of "Foreign Terrorist Organizations" ("FTOs") and the states that finance and harbor them.⁴⁵ The Act makes it unlawful to fund or support FTOs and empowers U.S. immi­gration officials to block access of FTO members into the U.S. By 2000 the State Department has a list of seven countries that sponsor terrorism (five of which have the capability of deploying nuclear and biologi­cal weapons): Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Cuba, North Korea and Sudan.⁴⁶ But the U.S. government does nothing militarily to these sponsors; indeed, it continues to fund them, using U.S. taxpayer money.

1996:

As Taiwan prepares for local elections, China launches missiles over the Straits of Taiwan, in order to intimidate those who might vote for a candidate favoring permanent independence. The u.s. does nothing, even though it has a specific treaty to defend Taiwan.

1997:

In March CNN's Peter Arnett interviews bin Laden, the world's leading promoter of terrorism, the one the U.S. government says it can't seem to locate, but CNN can. Bin Laden says: 'We declared jihad against the US government, because the US government is unjust, criminal and tyrannical. It has committed acts that are extremely unjust, hideous and criminal whether directly or through its support of Israel." Asked why he was exiled from Saudi Arabia and went to Afghanistan, bin Laden says: "I was, by the grace of God, Praise and Glory be to Him, in the great spot that is dear to God, Praise and Glory be to Him, alhijaz, especially Venerable Mecca, where is God's Ancient House. However, the Saudi regime imposed on the people a life that does not appeal to the free believer. They wanted the people to eat and drink and celebrate the praise of God, but if the people wanted to encourage what is right and forbid what is wrong, they can't ... We are fulfilling a duty which God, Praise and Glory be to Him, decreed for us. We look upon those heroes, those men who undertook to kill the American occupiers in Riyadh and Khobar (Dhahran), as heroes." Asked if he'd ever faced arrest or assassination attempts, bin Laden said: "There were several attempts to arrest me or to assassinate me. This has been going on for more than seven years. With Allah's grace, none of these attempts succeeded. This is a proof in itself to Muslims and to the world that the U.S. is incapable and weaker than the picture it wants to draw in people's mind. A believer must rest assured that life is only in the hands of Allah, and sustenance is also in the hands of Allah, the Almighty'. As for fearing for one's life, it is difficult to explain to you how we think of ourselves, unless you have full belief. We believe that no one could take out one breath of our written life as ordained by Allah. We see that getting killed in the cause of Allah is a great honor achieved by only those who are the elite of the nation. We love this kind of death for Allah’s cause as much as you like to live. We have nothing to fear for. It is something we wish for." Asked about his future plans, bin Laden says: "You'll see them and hear about them in the media, God willing."[7]

1997:

Authorities finally arrest the environmentalist-radical "Unibomber" identified as Theodore Kaczinski, who had murdered three businessmen and lab scientists with letter bombs and maimed 39 oth­ers in the prior 18 years before he was stopped. The New York Times and The Washington Post eagerly publish his 30,000 word "manifesto" against science, technology and capitalism.[8] Kaczinski is convicted and jailed in 1999. The Kaczinski murders are only part of a growing number of terrorist acts engaged in by environmentalists (such as "Earth First!") in the 1990s. The U.S. enacts no program to infiltrate the scores of environmentalist groups that promote and engage in terrorism.

1997-2000:

Muslim armies and terrorists in the Russian territory of Chechnya launch repeated, murderous assaults on Russians, killing and maiming thousands. Russia fights back but is criticized by the U.S. and the U.N. for doing SO.[9]

1998:

In June John Miller of ABC News conducts an "exclusive interview" with Osama bin Laden, the world's leading promoter of terrorism, the one the U.S. government can’t seem to locate but ABC can. The interview’s title, “His Vow to Kill Americans”.  According to bin Ladin, “We don’t differentiate between those dressed in military uniforms and civilians. They are all targets of this fatwa.” Miller concludes saying that the U.S. has done little to repel bin Laden and his followers and says, “In the meantime, the U.S. is bracing for whatever bin Laden may have planned. The U.S. not only fails to act; it fails to even “brace itself”.[10]

1998:

In August, U.S. embassies in the African states of Kenya and Tanzania are car-bombed, killing 301 and injuring over 5,000. In November Osama bin Laden and his deputy, Muhammad Atef are indicted in a Manhattan Federal Court and convicted of "conspiring to kill Americans outside the US." The State De­partment offers a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of each, as if it is a domestic law enforcement issue. In June 1999, bin Laden appears on the FBI's list of "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives."

Two weeks later, amidst his impeachment controversy, President Clinton has the military launch a few Tomahawk missiles into Sudan and near bin Laden's camp in Afghanistan when he isn't there. The owner of an Afghan drug factory suffering collateral harm sues the US. for damages in a US. court. In the words of Clinton: "Our mission was clear. To strike at the network of radical groups affiliated with and funded by Osama bin Laden, perhaps the preeminent organizer and financier of international terrorism in the world today." There is no subsequent explanation for the failure of the "mission."

1999:

In Seattle, in April, anarchist and environmentalist terrorists sabotage the meeting of the World Trade Organization, burning, looting and destroying property and injuring hundreds. They dance and chant around fires about the alleged evil of America, economic globalization and capitalism. Hundreds of perpe­trators are jailed briefly, but then released without charges. Later, Seattle's police chief is fired. The terrorists proceed to inflict harm at every other "globalization" summit around the world.

At Camp David in July, President Clinton hosts yet another Mideast "peace summit," between Israel and Yasser Araft - the Muslim terrorist leader of the PLO, a .group who's main goal is to destroy Israel. This is Arafat's eighteenth visit to Camp David or the White House, more than any other foreign leader. He is allowed to carry his loaded gun during such visits!

Shortly after takeoff, EgyptAir 990 was deliberately crashed into the Atlantic Ocean by an Egyptian relief pilot killing all 217 passengers and crew. Many of the Americans who were onboard were retired citizens on their way to a vacation in Egypt when this crime was committed.

On New Year's Eve, Muslim terrorists are stopped at the U.S.-Canadian border and the Los Angeles Airport; evidence reveals they had intended to detonate bombs at crowded Millennium celebrations.

In November the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan is the target of a rocket attack. It is foiled.

2000:

In February, dissatisfied with the appeasing testimony of U.S. Secretary of State Madeline Albright, Congressmen Henry Wexler (D-FLA) writes her a public letter titled "Pakistan Must Immediately End its Support for Terrorist Organizations”. This comes in the wake of evidence that links Pakistani terrorist organizations to a recent hijacking of an Indian airliner and a recent military coup in Pakistan which removed its democratically elected government. The coup put general Musharaff in charge - a Muslim who proceeds to support terrorists and Afghanistan's Taliban.[11] Today the US. is allying with Musharaff.

In April, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro demands the return of Elian Gonzalez, a six year old Cuban who had left Cuba with his mother, who died en route, trying to escape to Miami. Mter a stand-off, Presi­dent Clinton, the U.S. State Department and U.S. Justice Department cave in to Castro's demands and the US. military removes Elian at gun point and sends him back to Cuba to become a slave. Thousands cheer in the streets of Havana. Later, former Attorney General Janet Reno says she'll run for governor of Florida.

In October terrorists use a small boat to detonate a bomb near the destroyer USS Cole in the port of Yemen, murdering 17 U.S. servicemen and maiming 39 others. Later the Yemeni government says it knows the act was perpetrated by followers of bin Laden, but refuses their extradition to the U.S. At the memorial service President Clinton declares that "justice will prevail" To date the U.S. has done nothing to avenge the atrocity.

On October 28th Imam Muzammil H. Siddiqi, a Muslim cleric, leads a protest of more than 2,000 followers in front of the White House, shouting "death to Jews, death to America."

On September 14th, 2001, the "National Day of Prayer" designated by President Bush, the same Muslim cleric is invited to join clerics from other religions to address a congregation of America political leaders at the National Cathedral in Washington, with President Bush listening intently in the front row.

2001:

In February, China shoots down a non-threatening U.S. Air Force jet and holds the crew hostage for four days, demanding an "apology" from President Bush. He does so and the crew - but not the plane - is released.

September 11

Nearly two dozen Muslim terrorists hijack four commercial planes at Eastern air­ports  bound for the West coast - therefore fully loaded with jet fuel - and deliberately crash two of them into the World Trade Center towers as business opens, murdering at least 5,000 people and injuring hun­dreds more. Another is crashed into the Pentagon, murdering more than 150 military personnel. Another 266 plane passengers die, some after being tortured. A fourth plane crashes outside of Pittsburgh with evidence that the terrorists' intended target was the White House or Camp David. In subsequent days evidence shows that the terrorists are apostles of bin Laden and have been trained and financed by Muslim countries which the U.S. had already identified as sponsors of terrorism. Investigations also reveal another hijack attempt that was foiled due to a flight cancellation at JFK in New York. The hijackers obtained their flight training at FAA-approved schools in Florida. Three days before the attack one of the Boston plane hijackers, dressed as a pilot, is given a guided tour if the air traffic control tower in Boston. Leaders of the Taliban theocracy in Afghanistan warn U.S. officials that if they strike Afghanistan the Taliban will instruct Muslims worldwide to seek revenge. U.S. officials scramble - not jets - but to ally with terrorist-sponsoring states like Pakistan & Iran. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz speaks of "ending the states" that sponsor terrorism. A New York Times editorial denounces that suggestion. A day later, U.S. officials disavow the Wolfowitz statement. President bush visited a Muslim mosque, saying "Islam preaches peace" and that Muslims "love America as much as we do."

2002:

John Allen Muhammad and his teenage friend, John Malvo killed 10 Americans during a serial sniper spree that paralyzed Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia for three weeks in September/October. Muhammad was a convert to Islam 17 years earlie.

On 12 October 202 people were killed and another 209 were injured when bombs were set off in the tourist section of Bali, Indonesia. The majority of victims were Western tourists with 88 from Australia. The Indonesian police acted promptly and efficiently arresting trying guilty parties but death sentences have yet to be carried out. In 2006 members of the conspiracy were given early release from prison in celebration of an Islamic holiday; an Islamic tradition. (Some Americans were killed but haven’t found source on that yet.)

2003:

On May 12, members of al-Qaeda shot their way into three housing compounds in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia before setting off suicide car bombs wounding over 200 and killing 34 including nine Americans.

2004:

On 11 Mar (3/11), a series of coordinated bombings against the Madrid commuter train system killed 191 people and wounded 2,050. The official investigation determined the attacks were directed by an al-Qaeda inspired terrorist cell although no direct al-Qaeda participation has been established.  

2005:

On 7 July a series of coordinated terrorist bomb blasts that hit London's public transport system during the morning rush hour. Three bombs exploded within fifty seconds of each other on three London Underground trains. A fourth bomb exploded on a bus in Tavistock Square. The bombings killed 52 commuters and the four suicide bombers, injured 700, and caused disruption of the city's transport system and telecommunications infrastructure. British citizens of the Muslim faith were proved to be the perpetrators.

Sept 30: Danish newspaper Jillands-Posten publishes cartoons of the Mohammad the prophet.  This results in death threats, destruction of Danish businesses in the Middle East.  The publisher and the cartoonists have to go into hiding.  In the U.S. not a single major newspaper comes to the support of the Danes. So much for their pretence of defending the freedom of the press. In better times every paper in the country would have printed the cartoons in the name of freedom even those that disagreed with them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Jyllands-Posten_Muhammad_cartoons_controversy

2007:

A rocket propelled grenade was launched into the U.S. embassy in Athens. No attribution.
