Atrocities committed by Islamic extremists did not suddenly stop after 9/11, so quoting that event as if it was the last time something happened is not a good way to make a point. As for your question, part of the problem is that most of the world's media focuses on the Islamic extremists of the world, not the Christian extremists or Jewish extremists (before anyone uses that as way to skewer me, there are Jewish extremists, there are extremists of every kind).

My answer is this:
Our country spends over $1,000,000,000,000 on a boogey man budget, so there has to be a boogey man.
Because the thing people forget is that the people who get those trillions year after year are going to want that money, whether there's a legitimate enemy or not.
Because if a kid in Chicago would stab somebody for their shoes, imagine what the smart people in the world would do for a trillion dollars?

For a reason, weren't all of the hijackers tied to an extremist Islamist group? Then it is literally us vs them.

Maybe you should give it a little more substance, it's kind of short.
If the mods come to this thread and they don't enjoy the responses, then they look at the short and potentially baitish OP, the thread probably won't stay up.
