…. it doesnt help to understand what we face currently if we dismiss the role we have played in its genesis.
What exactly are you trying to say with this? That we should flagellate ourselves for things that happened many generations ago?
Like I said, we have no moral high ground to stand on, so what can we do?
Ultimately all acts of terror can be drawn back to a belief in religious or cultural superiority, t.

That's pointless. We cannot change history. What we can do is not repeat the mistakes of history.
One of those mistakes is thinking that we can appease an intractable foe whose very objective is to drag us into conflict. The 'try-to-be-nice-to-them' approach will never work.
You are not dealing with rational, co-operative people here, rather those driven by an insane adherence to an imaginary God.
The insanity is not believing in a God, but thinking they know what It wants of them.
....Incredibly stupid.
.......Chinese authorities have banned women in Urumqi, the capital city of Xinjiang—an autonomous western region where Muslims account for almost half of the population—from wearing burqas in public, according to a brief article on a government-run website, Tianshan News. Local legislators for Urumqi proposed the ban in December, and now the regional legislature has approved it.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-30722268China is in the midst of a crackdown on what it describes as "terrorism driven by religious extremism". The campaign is focused on the western province of Xinjiang, home to China's Uighur ethnic minority who are predominantly Muslim.
The government believes religion breeds terror and has been trying to control religious expression in the region by imposing rules on the Uighur community. Critics say it is exaggerating the terror problem.
The murals below were painted on the walls next to a mosque in the old Silk Road district of Kashgar where 90% of the population are Uighur.
They show what the Chinese government deems as acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. They are a striking example of Chinese propaganda and highlight the government's crude portrayal of ethnic relations in Xinjiang.

It seems Rev Fred Nile objects to bravery awards for the blokes who ran from the café, leaving the weaker sex behind (before you saddle up the high horses, I'm paraphrasing for effect).
Having thought about it, I reckon it would take a lot to overcome the fear of survival and run for a door that increases the odds of a direct hit from a madman's shotgun. I'm not sure about the notion we should sacrifice our safety in favour of women, although I confess I probably would.
It's a conundrum.

The chattering class keep rabbiting agout the moderate Islamists and how we should be nice to them. What are the 'moderate" Islamists doing to rein in Boko Haram? Nothing.
So it seems the "moderate" Islamists is a falsehood, because true Islamists are only Arab and as Arabs they have congenital oneness with God who managed 20 years of his busy schedule to give an instructional, but hasn't been since .. presumably still handing out messianic messages to Gabriel for delivery to prophets on other planets (that he hopefully took more than a week to make after the first failure).
There is no doubt that the so-called moderate muslims do support offensive jihad.
