People keep asking why al Queda, and others like them, hate America (and not just the US). But their motivation has been given. For their part, it is a holy war, jihard, against the infidel, that is, non Muslims like Christians, Jews and others, but also those Muslims who lack their fundamentalist purity. It is foolishness not to accept their stated reasons.
That does not mean it is a religious war for us. Far from it, we have nothing against Islam. Al Queda has decided it is either they or we who perish. In simple self defense, we must see to it that it is they who die.
