The fact that you can't see it is astounding, A religion that treats women as half a man, A religion that encourages its followers to kill non-believers and gays, A religion that stones a women after she was raped is a culturally backwards religion.

This level of terrorism is unique to the Middle East, especially considering that the Middle East by and large tends to be a middle income area. The Middle East is simply culturally backwards. Islam has yet to go through a Reformation or and Enlightenment like Christianity did.

The fact is that there is no easy way to end world poverty, but we can start by identifying colonialist practices and stopping them and seeking more equitable societies and international relations. I don't have all the answers for you, but jumping to bigotry is not one of them, and interventionism is not another.
Hell, if you're method of dealing with the problem terrorism is solving the impossible to solve problem of globabl poverty, gee, why don't you share that with the US government!
Hell you could sooner remove Islam from existance than you could remove global poverty. And removing islam is a shoe in to stop islamic terror, whereas the results of removing poverty is up in the air.
And believe it or not colonialism isn't the source of global poverty.
Hell, it probably has made plenty of colonies richer and more developed in a shorter time than they ever would have done now,
in which case continued failure of ex colonial countries to succeed economical by themselves is just them falling back to where they would have been without colonialism in the first place.
So, if interventionism is not a solution, well, we just let ISIS grow and don't try to stop them, don't help those who fight back against them, don't provide aid to the impoverished Muslims, don't take any refugees (is that non interventionism, not taking refugees? Or is taking infinite refugees non interventionism?) just go all star trek prime directive on them even as they blow our civilians up every other week as they slowly engulf the entire middle east and probably Europe. Great, I'm sure they'll work it out eventually, probably about 50 years after the world is destroyed by nuclear fire.

Where the hell are you getting this. Islam does not treat a women as half a man. We are not encouraged to kill non believers and gays. I never heard about killing gays (unless there are four male witnesses to the fact that two men are engaged in homosexual activity- do you know how hard that is? Last I checked, Christianity did not love gays either...) the verse about killing disbelievers was circumstantial. Nothing in Islam says stone a women after she is raped. She provides evidence, the perp is killed.

The Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) is also a Christian[55] Naga nationalist Militant group operating in North India.[56][57] The main aim of the organization is to establish a sovereign Christian state, "Nagalim"[58] unifying all the areas inhabited by the Naga people in Northeast India and Burma.[59] The organization's slogan is "Nagaland for Christ".[60][61][62][63][64][65] Its manifesto is based on the principle of Socialism for economic development and a Baptist Christian religious outlook ‘Nagaland for Christ’.[66] In some of their documents the NSCN has called for recognizing only Christianity in Nagalim.[67] They believe in Christian theocracy.[68] The NSCN has been declared a terrorist organisation in India under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.[69] It is believed that the organisation primarily raises funds through trafficking drugs from Burma and selling smuggled weapons to other insurgent groups in the region.[70] The group reportedly indulges in kidnapping, extortion and other terrorist activities.[71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79] NSCN is accused of carrying out the 1992–1993 ethnic cleansing of Kuki tribes in Manipur, said to have leave over 900 people dead. During that NSCN-IM operation, 350 Kuki villages were driven out and about 100,000 Kukis were turned into refugees[80]
On 3 August 2015 NSCN leader T. Muivah signed a peace accord with the Government of India in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, and NSA Ajit Doval.[81]

Quran (2:282) - (Court testimony) "And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not found then a man and two women." Muslim apologists offer creative explanations to explain why Allah felt that a man's testimony in court should be valued twice as highly as a woman's, but studies consistently show that women are actually less likely to tell lies than men, meaning that they make more reliable witnesses.
Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing...
but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun(the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)" (Translation is from the Noble Quran) The verse prior to this (190) refers to "fighting for the cause of Allah those who fight you" leading some to believe that the entire passage refers to a defensive war in which Muslims are defending their homes and families. The historical context of this passage is not defensive warfare, however, since Muhammad and his Muslims had just relocated to Medina and were not under attack by their Meccan adversaries. In fact, the verses urge offensive warfare, in that Muslims are to drive Meccans out of their own city (which they later did). Verse 190 thus means to fight those who offer resistance to Allah's rule (ie. Muslim conquest). The use of the word "persecution" by some Muslim translators is disingenuous (the actual Arabic words for persecution - "idtihad" - and oppression - a variation of "z-l-m" - do not appear in the verse). The word used instead, "fitna", can mean disbelief, or the disorder that results from unbelief or temptation. This is certainly what is meant in this context since the violence is explicitly commissioned "until religion is for Allah" - ie. unbelievers desist in their unbelief.

Oh, wait you won't. Because it is Muslim propaganda. Muhammad (SAW) and his followers made a deal with the Qurash, that would allow them to go to Mecca to perform the pilgrimage to Mecca, which is not a luxury, it is an obligation. They violated the treaty, thus declaring war. They never "drove them out of their city", in fact, they allowed them to stay in peace!
For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds.... And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)" - An account that is borrowed from the Biblical story of Sodom. Muslim scholars through the centuries have interpreted the "rain of stones" on the town as meaning that homosexuals should be stoned, since no other reason is given for the people's destruction. (Inexplicably, the story is also repeated in suras 15:74, 27:58 and 29:40).
Well then that's the fault of the people who interpreted it isn't it?

I have always provided sources for my claims as well as solid examples. It is not baseless in the slightest. I will not step off you until you address the accusations made to both myself and those of us in the West by your broad brushstroke of guilt. Your insult to those who live in the poverty countries by claiming they all lack agency and can't decide why they do things. If anybody is a racist here, it is yourself.
I've very much debated the underpinnings of my ideology, like opposition to colonialism and focus on root causes rather than jumping to the familiar arms of racism when scary brown people do scary brown things. Sorry, but sometimes when racism gets called on you, it's your fault, not the stupid dumb liberal's for insinuating that maybe you've said something racist.
Oh, the classic "liberals are the real racists for saying that maybe brown people are poor because white people stole all their things". I'm not denying anyone agency, just saying that terrorism happens because of the languishing poverty left in the wake of colonialist activities like the US war in Iraq which directly led to the foundation and prosperity of ISIS.
Don't for a second think you've got the facts on me. The facts say all human beings are largely the same and only our situations define us. Muslims are not dumb and neither their religion nor their ethnicity makes them terrorize.
