Ah, but there is the rub. NO LEADER has blown himself up, they cynically use the followers for their quest for money and power. If it was true religious belief, you would see the leaders leading the way, not sending out others to their "glorious" deaths. The religious leaders know that it is all bullshirt, and their actions prove it.
One must keep focus here, Islam is a propaganda tool for the Empire of Islam, it is not a religion and never has been.
Leaders of any group don't usually get themselves killed. It is hard to lead from the grave.
As far as money and power go, Osama bin Laden had it all before he went on Jihad. Osama has paid a high price by earthly standards for doing Allah's work.
The 19 Muslims who died on 9-11 had money, health, and an education. They gave their lives up voluntarily for Allah.
If you think you can dismiss this Muslim problem by saying it is not a religion, I believe you are mistaken.
Islam has to be confronted physically.
It is a religion whose God requires the adherents to get nonbelievers to submit. If that isn't going to work then kill the infidels. If you need to keep some infidels alive to benefit Islam, then get them to pay protection money and live as second class citizens under Islamic law.
It's not a complex religion just requires some blood on your hands to prove your worth to God. That is something infidels seem to have trouble understanding ,although it is spelled out in the Koran and preached in the mosques. And carried out in action.
Most people just don't want to realize they are going to have to take a fighting stand to stop it. Infidels will make all kinds of excuses for the actions of the Islamists to avoid taking action against them. - Tom
