I believe that all this boils down to religion.
Extreme Islamism fundamentalists just do not like our way of life!
They resent the emancipation that women of the West have gained during the last 60 years.
Western women lie in the sun and get tanned because it promotes vitamin E development and thus the feel healthier and feel a sense of well being.
The exposure of facial skin in a female offends a Muslim. Islamic women cover themselves from head to toe (in accordance to the Koran [not]) and are thus fettered by their men folk. Emancipation of females is envisaged as a dire threat to their way of life.
They See money as an evil and America and its allies as evil and a dire threat to their religion. The attack on the World Trade Centre in New York and Bali (an exotic isle where many of the Western Calendar girls are photographed) are not arbitrary they are an assault upon our culture; this is a jihad, a holy war.
Their plan is simple: STOP TRADE WITH THE WEST AND STOP TOURISM.
Israel shakes the corners of their religion. They have the same foundation (Abraham-Moses etc as do we) but believe that their religion takes precedence over all others because their profit (Mohamed) has preference because he was the last chosen by GOD. What terrifies them is the second coming of Christ which was predicted at the millennium and would 'in defacto' make their religion void.
Extreem views maby; but I do not kill people for my beliefs; and I pay the price for my peers policies!
