If you paid attention to the whole picture instead of just cherry picking the bits that suit you, you would know that the Al Qaeda attack on New York was DIRECTLY traceable back to Iraq. To be specific, Osama Bin Laden declared war on USA because USA stationed troops in Saudi Arabia. Those troops were stationed in Saudi Arabia as part of the first Iraqi war when Sadam invaded Kuwait. And then stayed there. That is what started the whole damned thing. The stated aim of Al Qaida has always been to kick USA out of the Arab holy land. Try reading what Bin Laden says for once instead if what the spin doctors feed you. They spread it to include US interests elsewhere in the Muslim world and it caught the muslim zeitgeist because of Islamic anger about US policies towards Islam in general. That is historical fact. As for being a sick perversion of Islam, how do you know? Are you muslim? Have you read the Q'ran? I doubt it. The invasuion of Iraq has enraged Muslim public opinion worlwide and vastly increased Al Qaida's influence. Just listen to every Muslim kid you hear interviewed on TV for Gods sake, or read what every Muslim representative says in the papers.
