The underlying cause of all we do in life is our religion or lack of it; terrorism is part of our religion to fight against evil. God has always sent messages of correction to avoid military or violent conflict; but unfortunately, when leaders of government and religion ignore the warning, terror follows in one form or another, as promised by God. (Leviticus 26 and other holy writings)

I know that I have sent messages of correction to government and religious leaders since 1991 to solve the Israel-Palestinian conflict and other Muslim verses Christian and Jewish conflicts, or Islamic government verses western secular governments conflicts.

I lived in the Israel-Palestine area for fourteen (14) months from September 29, 1995 to November 26, 1996, giving written reports for solutions to Israel's Knesset and other government offices, Jewish military installations, Arafat's office in Ramalla, to many mosques including the Dome of the Rock-Grand Mufti, to Orthodox Christians and Catholics, and Orthodox Jews, as well as assorted Christians including Messianic (Jewish) Christians and Seventh Day Adventists, Samaritan Jews, and Baha'i, I gave the report to tourist bus groups from many nations. The basic message is and was "You are not following the word of God He gave to your prophets. If you did there would be no conflict. The primary message of the Qur'an is to follow the whole Bible. It was a message to correct the Christians and Jews who were and still are only following part of the Bible; it was not to start a new religion. Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."

Around the world, messages of correction and warning are going out through religious leaders inspired by God to speak the messages, but they do not recognize the need for correction in their own "churches" or denominations. God has always stirred up opposition, many times very violent, against those nations that refused correction. In the Book of Jeremiah18:7-10 , God said, "At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; If it do evil in My sight, that it obey not My voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them."

Sickness and death, terror and famine are just some of the things God promised would come to those who reject His words to lead them. He has been called a God of Love, and He is; but His love means He will punish us to help us see we are going the wrong way; otherwise we would continue in error and block His kingdom from coming. As the industrialized nations are seeing now, going after riches, fame, and temporary pleasures which God hates, results in our destruction.

September 11, 2001 was a strong sign not to continue the same direction; now, seven and one half years since then, we are still trying to rebuild mightier and stronger than ever, going after the same destructive ways. What is a God of Truth and Justice to do? He cannot lie. The United States Civil War, World Wars I and II, and all the wars that ever have been, have been rejecting God's wisdom. The final war calls for all nations to meet in the "Valley of Decision". That war has begun; it can end quickly for our good. God said, "I will cut My work short in righteousness." We do not have any other good choices, because terrorism has a lot to do with religion.
