Having read the Koran in it's entirety, I'm interested in this statement ... in what way is The Koran misrepresented? What is the flavor that it's supposed to have?
Arab/Islamic terrorism for political gain seems to have gotten started in the late 1960s, which is the time at
which hijackers stopped demanding to go to Cuba (never quite understood that one, must have been the nice beaches) and started going to Syria
US planes have been hijacked by terrorists on multiple occasions through the 1970s. Iranian "students" took The US Embassy workers hostage in 1979, and things have escalated ever since.
Where'd you get the 1990 date?
