I'd like to pose this question to Olivier Roy, who today publishes (in The New York Times) the nine millionth in a series of articles since July 7 making the argument that the Palestinian situation and the war in Iraq aren't inspiring terrorism, and to all who went before him and will come after him:

Given your assertion that the policies of the United States and its allies toward Arab and Muslim nations have no influence whatsoever on Islamicist jihad, is it safe to assume that you believe it would not increase terrorism if the United States bombed Mecca?
