Faqi Husssain wrote "Mr. Ahmed, Radical Islamic terror and the evil intentions of the Islamic Jihadists are not overblown as you state. It has nothing to do with Israel or the Jewish organizations." In my opinion, the Islamic efforts against Judaism and Israel is only the tip of the terror iceberg. Since the days of Mohammed, the Islamists have had world conquest in mind but were slowed by the efforts of European Christianity and the lack of sufficient resources. Today Europe is predominantly secular, and thanks to oil, increased Moslem populations, multi-culturism and infiltration into non-Moslem countries, the Moslems now have many of the resources previously lacking. Militarily thanks to the advanced technical capabilities of the USA military, the Moslems are not yet able to win in pitched battles. So their tactics have been the form of guerilla warfare (terrorism) which have been effective in some cases in dissolving the will of their opponents. Islam,...that traditionally does not respect or tolerate non-Islamic religions is the core problem. I don't believe that the world will get any rest or peace as long as Islamist acivity is viable.
