I dunno ... I think deep down the muslims should be afraid of the European people. If one looks at who is capable of killing how many people for kicks I think the Euro's will win that prize(I use the term loosly) handily. Its not like they don't know how to round people up and do away with them. Muslims who follow the religion as written will not be afraid to die for it. And certainly won't fear the Infidel.
There is no shortage of suicide volunteers for projects against us Infidels.
The 19 young Muslim men well off, and relatively wealthy, who died killing 3,000 of us had plenty of time to think it over, but chose death and paradise over worldly rewards.
There are daily examples of this throughout the world.
The objectives of Islam are very straight forward and harder to obfuscate than most other religions.
You want an eternal reward then go out and subjugate kill or convert non believers in Allah, and as a special bonus ,if you die fighting to accomplish this you will go to Paradise.
So fearing the Infidel is not in the mix. - Tom
I disagree. At the end of the day the guys in the bowels of the pentagon with their charts of projected casualties in megadeaths fight for the us. The guys with their hands on the button waiting for that call fight for us. Bravery and fanaticism only go so far against ICBMs. Islamsists know this and will never provoke us THAT far. So in the intermediate phase of this war they will make huge strides as their legions of willing martyrs come in handy. Once we start playing hardball, and once it starts I don't think we'll stop, it won't matter much.
