| #9 I think Al Queda and various fundamentalist groups are trying to clear the Ummah. I think that Al Queda is trying to clear the Ummah of non-Muslims. It's a goal they think they can attain, and of all the things they would like to see happen, it's probably the most realistic of happening. There are far less obstacles to committing violent acts in the Middle East than there are in America, thanks to tightened security. And Al Queda is not in a position to act in a time and place of it's choosing, as there is a great deal of pressure on them. The result is that they must make there presence felt wherever they can make it felt. And that place is the Middle East. For decades, the governments of states such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia have fed their populations a diet of rabid anti-Western propaganda. They used this population to justify their repression to American governments, and used the West as permanent scapegoats to their captive population. Now the genie is out of the bottle, and the governments of the Middle East must choose between America and the genie. Choose wisely. |

| #8 Belgians may not have been the target... or it might have been a two-fer: "Belgian Foreign Minister Louis Michel said his country believed the consulate was "collateral damage," with the real target a restaurant across the street. The Positano restaurant is owned by a French Jew of Moroccan origin. Jean-Mark Levy said the bomb exploded in the middle of the narrow street and the consulate took most of the impact." |

| #7 They're going after the apostates and the softest targets. Pussies. But this crap will backfire. The more they attack in their own countries the less support they'll have. They tried this in Egypt and what happened? They were essentially wiped out. The hammer will come down, and very hard. |

| #6 Queda maybe have shifted their target focus back to the apostate muslim states rather than the infidel west? After all, their primary target was the leadership of the Ummah (saudi princes et al in other nations) who were leading the "flock" astray into apostacy and unislamic behaviour. They did hit the trade centre as an Islamo recruitment drive (loosely paraphrasing OBL: strong horse and weak horse , people will follow the strong horse... already enquiries about Islam are up over 500% even in Western countries blah blah blah). Look at us, look at us! we no longer care about the infidels we want to unify the ummah first and make them truly islamic then Allah will give us what he has planned for us |
