One issue I have with the radical conservative side of the Moslems is that the Koran says death to the infidels. Well, the majority of the Moslems say that they are a quiet peaceful religion but if you really look a bit deeper into the Koran it also says "death to the infidels"...
What is an infidel you ask? Anyone who is not a Moslem according to the Koran so the radical faction feel that anyone who has not converted to or anyone who supports a non-Moslem view or side is an infidel and deserves to be killed.
This is going to be a long one unless one major thing happens. If the rank and file Moslem people stand up and say we have had enough and start to work against the radical faction, then we have a chance of eliminating this in the next 5-15 years. Otherwise it very well may go on for a long time.
The vast majority of Moslems (I know quite a few) feel that its possible to co-exist with other religions and this is the only way that both sides will survive. The terrorists have to be made to either go away or "educate" them that if they are going to survive to take the popular view.
Remember that the Crusades took over 200 years before it ground to a halt. Also one point to remember is that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world.
