At the moment they only want us to submit to not being in their countries. That's a strange way to look at submission. There have been many kinds of enemies who were willing to kill US soldiers by becoming "kamikazes". I think of the Philippines, Vietnam, the Japanese... It's probably a very long list. Since other nations have produced similar kinds of warriors- I don't think you can logically blame it on the Koran.

<The root cause? It's simple. It's called the Koran.> If you actually believe that all those hundreds of mil llions of people who read and believe the Koran are "the enemy" and are all potential terrorists, then the only solution is to kill them all -- exterminate them. There have been political movements who adopted this approach to defining their problems and devising solutions -- Nazi's and their gas chambers come to mind. For myself, I do not believe that the Koran is the root problem here AT ALL, any more than I believe the bible is the reason why we kill so many people -- although it has all to often been used as a justification to kill.
