How true is it that Al-Qaeda's terror attacks around the world are directly linked to the Israeli-Arab conflict?
Some Middle East and terror "experts" have long maintained that the West's support for Israel was one of the main motivations behind the attacks of Al-Qaeda and other Islamic fundamentalist groups.
These "experts" have naively and foolishly endorsed Al-Qaeda Chief Osama bin Laden's argument that the terror attacks against the US and Western targets are the result of the Israeli-Arab conflict.
In the past, bin Laden justified his organization's attacks on Americans by citing continued US support for Israel as the main reason.
But now that it has been revealed that Al-Qaeda is also planning a new wave of terror attacks in Europe, it would be interesting to hear what excuse bin Laden would have this time.
If the Americans deserve to be murdered because of Washington's "bias" in favor of Israel, why are countries such as France, Britain and Germany -- which have, generally speaking, been very supportive of the Palestinians -- now on the black list of radical Islamic groups?
The Europeans are being targeted for the same reason the Americans are: for being "infidels" and enemies of Islam and for the Western values they represent. They are being targeted because of their failure to transform into Islamic countries. Those who think that solving the Israeli-Arab conflict will undermine Al-Qaeda and its allies do not know what they are talking about.
Bin Laden, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hizbullah Secretary-General Hasan Nasrallah are actually waging a war against Arabs and Muslims who are involved, directly and indirectly, in the Middle East peace process.
Al-Qaeda was established in 1989 in Afghanistan, and not in the West Bank and Gaza Strip or any Arab country.
Al-Qaeda was one of the by-products of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and not the creation of the Jewish state in mandatory Palestine in 1948.
Al-Qaeda was established with one goal in mind: to defeat the all the non-believers, including the US and its Arab, Muslim and Western allies.
Bin Laden and his friends want to kill Europeans not because of settlement construction in the West Bank ,or the blockade on the Gaza Strip; they want to kill Europeans because Europeans are not Muslims and have different values.
The Europeans need to understand that their support for Arabs in general and the Palestinians in particular will not help them avoid "punishment" by radical Muslims.
The policy of appeasing Muslim terror groups also will not help. On the contrary, each concession by the US and its allies to Al-Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and Hizbullah will be interpreted as a sign of weakness that will subsequently lead to more violence.
The only connection between the Muslim terrorists and the Middle East conflict is their dream of destroying Israel.
They want to destroy Israel not because they love the Palestinians, but because they regard Jews as "infidels."
They want to destroy Israel because they believe that all of Palestine is Muslim-owned land that belongs only to Muslims.
Those who think that solving the Israeli-Arab conflict will undermine Al-Qaeda and its allies do not know what they are talking about.
Bin Laden, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hizbullah Secretary-General Hasan Nasrallah are actually waging a war against Arabs and Muslims who are involved, directly and indirectly, in the Middle East peace process.
Renewed peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority have only increased the terror groups' appetite to carry out their schemes.
The only way to deal with the terror threat is by stepping up the war against Al-Qaeda, Taliban and other radical Islamic groups.

Bin Laden did NOT even mention the Palestinians til well after 9-11 when it became useful!
What else CAN they do? Based on the evidence they seem to love only two things, hating people and blowing stuff up. All this crap about their contributions amounts to zilch from boobs like Obama who think by kissing Muslim (hairy) butt they'll like us. They are good only at hate and messy explosions, that's all.
Why Do Radical Muslims Want to Kill Europeans?
*****************************************************
Because they’re not muslim and the quran tells them to?
It has something to do with the constant inbreeding.
The larger reason is that the elite want to bring anti Western Muslims into Europe so as to hasten the demise of the nation State & Western civilization in general in order to better implement their Global government.
By the way....
When massive, government-funded studies and endless pontification and speculation by the best and brightest minds our culture can produce ultimately derive an answer for this question...
They will still want to kill us.
And, one supposes that these 'elites' will somehow get the Islamics under some form of control so that they can thereafter implement 'their' global gooberment? Got news for these pinheads. The Islamics have a plan of their own, and it doesn't include the 'elites' in any position of power...

They want to destroy any non-Islamic nation, for starters. But more than that it is intolerable to them that any non-Muslim should be successful.
The overwhelming fact that Western Civilization and Judeo-Christian religious belief system, together has resulted in a wildly successful Europe and North America, all the while the Islamic part of the world has been unable to keep up technologically and materially, generally infuriates Muslims. So they want to destroy us.
The Israeli-Arab conflict has nothing to do with their angst.
Muslims are horrified at the comparisons between their lack of scientific advances compared to the rest of the world.
I suggest a dose of salts and maybe some lead.
If they think they can win, they need to come play in Texas. Not so pretty for the other team.

Yep, it does tell them to.
Just as the wolf in Aesop's fable of The Wolf and the Lamb
And possibly a few glass parkinglot paving devices.
They hate us because WE don’t know why they hate us.
(im jus saying’) So if we knew why they want to kill us, would the killing stop?
I’m confused.
God bless Ronnie Barratt. Keep on keeping on.
Because they can. Also political correctness and rules of engagement prevent formerly adept nations from bombing them into oblivion.
Perhaps its the jihadi narcissist way of showing their expertise with swords, stones, box cutters, underwear and shoe bombs? Nations thus far are reacting with submission and welcoming them to get a strong foothold into cities and nations worldwide, and using international legal systems against the cities and nations to further their conquering of the world.
Europe is the low hanging fruit. Don’t worry, they’ll get to everyone else eventually.
They keep killing us so we’ll have a reason to hate them, which will then give them an EXCUSE to hate us! :P
Terrorism is a tactic. They do it because it seems to be so effective towards their desired end, which is to bend our will to theirs. In a sense I think it is true that they do it because we don’t know why they do it. If we responded IN KIND, with the slightest fraction of our capability, it would take all the fun out of it for them, but this is anathema to us.
