Actually I agree 100% that the Arabs and Moslems never will be able to effectively oppose the US and Israel until their leadership and societies change fundamentally.

But I do think this will happen at some point.

The European crusades of the 11th and 12th centuries may hold a lesson here.

The crusaders were successful until the Arabs came together as a unified force under a committed leadership.

Muslim magic -- Osama "reincarnated" as an American citizen.

California Man Revealed as al Qaeda Leader.

blogs.abcnews.com

>>For the first time, a former Orange County, Calif. teenage rock music fan has revealed his role as a top al Qaeda leader.

Adam Gadahn, who disappeared from California seven years ago, appeared unmasked on an al Qaeda tape made public on the internet today.

As previously reported by ABC News, the FBI had concluded that the masked man was Gadahn based on voice analysis of previous al Qaeda tapes. On today's tape, Gadahn is bearded, wearing a turban.

He denounces U.S. soldiers in Iraq and their alleged murder and rapes of Iraqi citizens.

"Who are the real terrorists?" Gadahn asks.

When referring to the alleged atrocities committed by U.S. Marines in Iraq, Gadahn also says, "It's hard to imagine that any compassionate person could see pictures...and not want to go on a shooting spree at the Marines' housing facilities at Camp Pendleton."

Camp Pendleton is located just south of where Gadahn grew up in California.

There was no immediate response from Gadahn's family, which still lives in California. They had previously denied he was the masked figure on al Qaeda tapes. <<
