Ideology causes terrorism

I'm taking some time to clean up my office and came across some notes I took on 2/18/2015 while listening to the radio.  The host of the show was commenting that poverty does not cause crime or terrorism, ideology does.  He gave the example of South Africa and noted that the poor in South Africa do NOT commit terrorist acts because they're mostly Christians, and the Christian ideology does not embrace or promote terrorism, but Islam does.  Islam is the ideology that causes terrorism.

We've seen and experienced this for the last 50 years, but the one world statists have pushed their flawed ideology of inclusion and the belief that they can reason with the religion of terror. We've seen what that failed ideology has produced in France and Germany.

In another note I found what I had written down when listening to Paula Burger speak in 2016.  She was in town speaking about her book Paula's Window, which recounts her childhood experience as a Baliski partisan Jew hiding from the Nazis in the Naliboki forest.  If you've seen the movie 'Defiance' then you'll know some of her story of survival.

One thing profound things she said in the forum I attended was 'The character of a person is not developed by the things we have, or what we do for ourselves, but by what we do for others.'

Someone asked her this question: 'Are societal behaviors indicative of repeating history?'  She answered that she was scared every day by the horrific occurrences that she was seeing, such as the Islamic abductions of school girls by Boko Haram, ISIS, and the boys dorm execution by Boko Haram.  She stated that [in the past] someone else's beliefs don't affect you, but now they're killing every day and it shouldn't be allowed to go on.

I've said this many times in the past and still profess a disbelief as to why the world super powers have tolerated and allowed Islamic terrorism to flourish for so long.  From what I remember Mrs. Burger saying, she was also at a failure to understand how the terrorist acts of Islam could be permitted given what we know about the past from Nazi extremism.
