"Unfortunately, it let to greater animosity between the Western and Islamic worlds. Fighting broke out on and off for the next 100 years until both sides were badly weakened."

With the truce of 2110, the threat from the Muslim world ceased, as Al Qaeda kingpin Clive Bin Laden(3rd great Grandson of founder Osama Bin Laden) convincingly renounced terrorism forever in saying "we have no right to control the actions of other men with violence. We must win the world though our own good deeds in the sight of Allah, or not at all."

Today, the Islamic world looks back upon the terrorist history perpetrated by its more radical elements with disdain, just as Germany has long remembered the Reign of Hitler during the 20th century WWII.
