I wish I could agree with you, stuartcr, but alas I cannot. Leyman was right in his assessment, this is a religious war. You need to read the Koran to understand, and until you do, you really cannot disagree with Leymans point.

In the narrowest sense you are right, that this is a (large) group of people who wage war because they are after something. I don't understand why in your mind that the something they seek cannot be religious world domination.

Just because religion may or may not be a creation of man has no bearing on how the ideology might be promoted or defended by its followers. In the strictest sense, a country is the same thing, an abstract construct existing in the minds of its citizens. If 100 % of the people of, say Poland, decided later today that Poland was dissolved, then Poland would be dissolved.

None of which really matters, because the only relevant issue in the debate is how the Muslim fundamentalists feel about the teaching of their book. You really ought to look up the phrase "Islamic hatred" on Google and do some reading. Just be prepared to have your eyes opened up quite widely.

Please explain the millions of Muslims that read the same Koran as you, but are not terrorists...as you assume they should be after reading the same book?

I do not agree with your 3rd paragraph. No one has a passport issued by a religion.
