But that's really beside the point. It's religion. They practice their version of "old time" religion and they want to get back to the fundamentals. It's a bit more than just "old time religion" CB.. They have an agenda of waging international Jihad and continuing the strategy their forebears pursued 1300 years ago before Charles the Hammer squashed them at Poitiers. What happens when a culture based on religious tolerance meets a culture based on religious intolerance? Can we tolerate them without being destroyed by their intolerance? Maybe not, unless we don't tolerate them. Or we show we're willing to fight back to such a degree that they find it to be counter-productive to directly confront us via either a state, or non-state, entity. Btw, watching Thomas Friedman on Charlie Rose right now.. Very interesting, as is normal for TF. Hawk
