It is now difficult for its proponents to keep on Islam and terrorism together as complementary elements

By judging from what has happened so far from the Taliban to the Gaza terrorists, from Afghanistan to Palestine, it has now become extremely difficult, and distressful, for its proponents to bring Islam and terrorism together and keep them on as paired complementary elements, because the Muslim people of Gaza, who voted out the Palestine Liberation Organization, which had turned to pacifism and secularism from terrorism, and handed over the governance of Gaza to terrorists through elections, are now terrified of the retaliation they are receiving not only from Israel but also from other democratic countries for the violence and massacres that these terrorists committed in Israel under the power of that electoral mandate. They are fleeing their own country with their lives; they are facing a major setback to their very existence because of a decision taken in an election, thinking that it is an internal matter of the Palestinians and that they will never have to come before the world community with explanations. That is the indicator of whether Islam and terrorism will go together today. China, Russia and Iran, which used to be a strong supporting force behind this terrorism, are now afraid to affirm their backing, to even mouth their opinions loud, because none of these are democracies, are pariahs in the democratic world, they do not like to be noticed by the world, and they do not have the capacity to withstand a jasmine revolution in addition in the middle of the democratic world.
Thus, a very silent and permanent change is rapidly taking place in the world situation surrounding terrorism related to Islam. The democratic world, democratic countries, after much deliberation, have wisely pushed all terrorist organizations in all countries associated with that religious extremist system into an unfulfilling situation of having to come to the fore declaring support for the Gaza terrorists who destroyed even their own Palestine, and jump into the war.
The reason why when such a well-organized and coordinated intellectual effort has been carried out in the democratic world within just one month, the organizations, peoples, and countries that link Islam to terrorism have been unable to do anything, including a similar intellectual effort, on the other side, is the fearful retreat of China, Russia, and Iran, which had hitherto acted as the lifeblood and promoters of Islamic terrorism in these allied countries of theirs, in the face of the rapid democratic movements carried out by the United States, Britain, France, and other European Union countries, taking advantage of the Gaza terrorists' attack on Israel and Israel's counterattack on them since late October 2023. What will those like these undemocratic countries who want to survive in this world of democratic countries do but retreat- will they commit suicide like old Japan and today's Iran, or will they go lay their heads and regimes and risk their lives and end up in a war in the name of religious terrorism? Didn't this ancient very Persian Empire, which is now Iran, itself end up like this many times before, at the hands of many?
So, these are the ones who have been working against democratic intellectualism as the intellectuals of terrorism and fascism. Their sudden withdrawal in the face of this new world movement, which differentiates between democracy and religious terrorism, has created a terrible vacuum in world Islamic terrorism that has not been there since the medieval Crusades. The world sees it as a relief. That is why it was, this joining hands of democratic countries was, done.
