Something quite interesting.. MEMRI has numerous extracts from an English-language anti-American, anti-Western official Saudi website: The website contains information that is anti-Western in general and anti-American in particular. In one instance for example, [it] states, "Today's false idols, which dominate over the entire world, are Democracy, Capitalism, Socialism and Communism. Islam instead calls for a Khilafa (Caliphate) based on consultation, and a just economic system based on Zakat and a prohibition of usury." It is hard to look over this material without coming to the following conclusions: (1) As described by the website, Islam's purpose is to take over the world, and (2) a religious war exists between Islam and the West. <There is, and was, no sympathy towards Western philosophy, according to the extremists. Islam promised its one billion faithful the rule of the world, and what they have discovered is that they are at the bottom most wrung of the ladder as a result of their own failure. The rage of impotence combined with blind craving to manage the human race through the 'will of Allah' is what propels hatred within the fringe elements. It is dreams of rediscovering the history of Islam's golden age and the re-conquest of the world, like old Spain, that propels many lunatics to impose the 'will of Allah' on the unwilling. This is not about terror, rather this is about imposing a way of life through a 'regime of terror'. Appeasement only makes their work easier. from iranian.com;
