I haven't read all 4 pages, so pardon me if I am repeating something alread said.

I just finished GHOST WARS. It is the 2005 Pulizer Prize for non-fiction. It is incredibly well documented.

That said, the radical Islamists want to convert the world to Islam, and purge all of the infidels. This has been brewing since the 1950's in Egypt and spread to to central Asia in the late '70's. The "holy" war to drive the Russians out of Afganistan was a joint Arab effort. Not only did they win (and we immediately deserted the area) but it empowered them to feel they can now do it everywhere.

They don't want to be left alone. They do want us to convert to the Koran as they view it or they want us dead. Plain and simple.
