Excerpts on the Causality Between the United States and Israel Regarding Terrorism
 

Governance of the Jurists (p. 22)  by Ayatollah Khomeini (1970)
If the rulers of the Muslim countries truly represented the believers and enacted God’s ordinances, they would set aside their petty differences, abandon their subversive and divisive activities, and join together like the fingers of one hand. Then a handful of wretched Jews (the agents of America, Britain and other foreign powers) would never have been able to accomplish what they have, no matter how much support they enjoyed from America and Britain. All this has happened because of the incompetence of those who rule over the Muslims. Full text

"The Qur'anic Dimension of Palestine," by Izeldin Ibrahim, Inquiry, Vol. 1, No.6  January 1993

Hamas MP and Cleric Yunis Al-Astal in a Friday Sermon, April 11, 2008
Very soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople was, as was prophesized by our Prophet Muhammad. Today, Rome is the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital, which has declared its hostility to Islam, and has planted the brothers of apes and pigs (i.e., Jews) in Palestine in order to prevent the reawakening of Islam – this capital of theirs will be an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, and even Eastern Europe.

More importantly, saying that Israel and the United States are united by a shared terrorist threat has the causal relationship backwards: rather, the United States has 
a terrorism problem in good part because it is so closely allied with Israel, not the other way around (p. 5).   Full text
