Or here's a quote from Moussaui's trial, summing up Islamic thought:
"Moussaoui's lawyer, Gerald Zerkin, asked his client why ``you hate America and Americans?'' ``This is going to be long,'' Moussaoui said. He said the Koran instructs Muslims to fight against those who don't acknowledge Islam. ``So from the Islamic point of view, we have to be the superpower. We have to be above you.'' Islam's goal is to force the U.S. and other non-Islamic countries to ``pay tribute'' to avoid being invaded by Muslims, he said. ``Otherwise, we invade you. Otherwise, jihad.''"
Lovely. (/NOT)
That you take a convicted terrorist's murderous rants as a summation of Islamic thought says more about you as al-Qa'ida's "useful idiot" than it does about what the average American Muslim thinks.
