"They want Israel's destruction"

I think they want both. But can't you see that we cannot sacrafice Israel to these thugs? And how can you just say they want us out of the middle east as their only condition for peace on earth, but now say the want the destruction of Isreal?

Can't believe you can post (and presumably believe) this:

"The principal stated aims of al-Qaeda are to drive Americans and American influence out of all Muslim nations, especially Saudi Arabia; destroy Israel; and topple pro-Western dictatorships around the Middle East. Bin Laden has also said that he wishes to unite all Muslims and establish, by force if necessary, an Islamic nation adhering to the rule of the first Caliphs.

**********
They have openly declared war on us (a lot of times) (my words)

Yes, but to advance the goals outlined above, not because they want to launch a campaign of worldwide conquest"

And suggest that we not go to war to fight it. Jesus (imo) would not stand by idly. He would say WWDD (what would dad do?)

Of course, you realize that "Muslim" nations stretch from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. From Southern Europe to Nigeria in the west, to Indonesia and the Philippines in the East. Which means that their ambitions are even greater (and brutal) than Hitler's.

re: "Yes, but to advance the goals outlined above, not because they want to launch a campaign of worldwide conquest."

Yes, al Qaeda also stated that they wished for the destruction of Isreal (after they merged with Egyptian terrorists) - which is one of the reasons they wish to acquire WMDs. Let's hope (for the sake of the Arab World) that day never happens.
